Pawns and Resources

Pawns do all the hard work: chopping wood, breaking stone, mining gold and herding sheep. Without them there are no walls and no army.

Wood

A lumber mill by the forest. Spent on buildings, bows, spears and palisades.

Stone

A quarry by the cliffs. Walls, towers and castle upgrades.

Gold

A gold mine. Hiring warriors and upgrades.

Food

Farms and sheep pastures. Feeds the army and sets the population limit.

Our Warriors

Barracks, archery ranges and monasteries train your warriors. Every damage type is strong against its own kind of armor.

Swordsman

Infantry and tank. Shield and heavy armor: holds the line and pins the enemy down.

Damage
slash
Armor

Spearman

Long melee reach. Bonus against large targets: orcs and spiders.

Heals allies and deals holy damage — the bane of skeletons.

The Horde

Enemies march along the paths between the islands without rest, and every tenth wave brings a boss.

Skeletons

Cheap and numerous, they come in crowds. Arrows barely scratch them.

Weak to: monks, swordsmen

Orcs

Slow and armored, they hit hard and smash walls.

Weak to: spearmen, archer volleys

Spiders

Fast and venomous, they slow you with webs and sneak around the edges.

Weak to: archers, spearmen
