Your four troop types
Train troops at the barracks:
- Footmen are cheap and steady, the backbone of any army.
- Riders are the fastest troops and hit hard.
- Bowmen strike from a distance.
- Catapults have the longest reach and the heaviest blow, but they are the slowest to move.
A battle, round by round
Battles are fought live. Each round you give every troop type its order: advance, hold or fall back, and which enemy to target. Your rival does the same at the same time. Reading their moves and answering them is what wins a fight, not just the size of your army.
If your signal drops in the middle of a battle, the game reconnects you to it.
Practise first
