nope, beat it 2 years ago, beat it again today, it's rather easy, just remember: enemies don't move through lit trenches charges INSTANTLY kill regular enemies they pass through dragons breath heals nearby units Heroes and THE BIRB are boosted by cavalry, cavalry and heroes are boosted by THE BIRB THE BIRB is very bad at fighting but has 4 default move points and is great at grabbing +1 movement flags (great for infantry!) the king will charge if you kill about an 8th of his units waiting will only make the king closer to reviving infantry can only kill about 4 enemies by default, so taking them is ALMOST NEVER worth it (especially with less movement points) the enemies can only attack one unit at a time, so if you single out the king or the dragon and surround them with heroes, they're absotively forked the king will ALSO charge if you get close to him (about 3 movement points up from the spawn area)
Great game! I found a good blitzkrieg strategy early on by placing the cavalry and all 3 heroes grouped in front to max their stats and movement, then plow through half the undead army while collecting ability points to unlock the infantry rest, dragon breath, and hide orders, let the calvary and heroes chip down fodder and king health, prolong with heal of dragon breath while doing damage to big hitters, use heroes hide to hopefully attract aggro of dragon and other troops, pop the rest to buff up the primary concentrated defense of 3 archers, defenseless, elite, catapult, and crow in back. Make use of infantry pushes after the blitzkrieg is over to mop up the rest of the army, and gang up on the king. The execution can be finicky and difficult, but it works!
my logic was that the troops had 2 hands but i forgot that bows needed 2 hands to be used (one for holding the bow and the other for the arrow) sorry for the trouble
Downloading 90%, reinstalling the game, launcher, completely deleting the itch/game folders and downloading again, neither fix. same issue on other games, no game will launch past loading screen. this one is stuck at 'Downloading 90%'
Great game and I show balls by admitting I failed a few times because I was learning the game. Also not gonna spoil tactics for other players who want to try out your game.
Two thumbs up, this is a masterpiece! Thanks for that!
Well, I just bombed the first level. But hey, being in the 51st percentile isn't too bad, right?
Okay, I've found that spamming archers is a viable tactic. It's also better to have the cavalry wait until the last second before charging for maximum efficiency.
This game was very fun! I found that the best way to defend was by using cavalry charges and dragon fire to draw the enemy commander's attention so he'll stop resurrecting the undead. Makes sense.
Yeah there is currently 3+ challenge... But i completed 100% of the challenge the end challenge is called the fate challenge. Good luck in completing all of it. Wanna read what is in the end?
tip: Put all the unit and 1 or 2 bowmen in the castle exept for 3 hero, 3 militia and 1 chavalerie, the 2 hero need near the chavalerie, the other hero must be near the militia, Can only be 1 group of militia, when the undead are close: do a chavalerie charge. light the trench if needed, the trench can be in the everywhere but must be 3 group maximum spearman behind the gate, swordman as a support.
because charging points are subtracted in the later levels, for the last level: take NO extra infantry place the trenches at the tippy top of the circle cavalry goes behind them heroes beside cav bird under cav, boosting heroes elites as far beside the bird as possible with the extra spawn rates then you exploit the game until you get 2 rolls right and are good with timing charges step 1: light the trench IMMEDIATELY. this must not fail. restart the level if it does. step 2: wait for the flag to spawn. it must spawn within charge range of the infantry. whatever infantry does NOT get the flag spawn must be used to shield the bird later, so charge him towards the bird (for the other guy charge the flag). if the flag spawns anywhere else (it shouldn't) restart. step 3: since enemies cannot move through burning trenches, wait for the trenches to go out. Then for the cavalry to get hit. step 4: charge. keep the troops tight and try to pincer the king. move the bird behind the elite infantry. if another flag spawns, and you can't kill everything now, try to collect it and then kill everything (in the same charge) step 5: now use dragons breath on the cav (bundled together) to max out their health and kill stragglers if there are any. step 6: cross your fingers.
I saw the reference to Game of Thrones without... Well, I just recognized it without every playing it. Eternal winter, that kinda gave it away. The adds always say "Winter is coming"
It took me four goes to beat the Night King! I guess all that time spent complaining about the battles in movies and video games came in handy. Pity about the 28800 dead but at least they can't complain!
The game is cool, but the in-game instructions lack. There are 3 things to note:
(1) Although the instruction seems to suggest either killing the undead king or standing your ground, it is impossible to kill the king as Move Points don't recharge and your units can't reach him.
(2) 'Move' Points aren't actually for movements. Instead, any unit that runs into enemies while consuming Move Points are invincible and deals much more damage. (3) You can tramp on two units with one 'move'. After you notice these facts, the game is simple: Maximize your Move Points, always try to make moves that hit 2 enemies, make orders after the undeads are reanimated, and perhaps learn the hidden orders.
At first, the game is pretty hard to beat, and that could discourage more casual players from playing , if they just try again and again and still lose, my suggestion would be adding difficulties such as Easy, Normal, Hard, and impossible. Other than that, the game has great graphics, and has a lot of potential to grow into something bigger.
Definitely true. I don't watch Game Of Thrones, and I don't recall a time I've ever played a game like this (unless you count those really old "defend the tower from a line of enemies" games), and after 7 attempts, I'm giving up and putting this on my "Don't bother" list. :/
Great Game! Can't wait for full game but I wish it was a little easier , just a little because challenging games are fun. Maybe you could add assist mode and a story mode for story enthusiasts.
Again, the game is great. I recommend to play this game if you like strategical games :)
one thing, this game is great... my suggestion, is that every stage we are allowed to take another unit however the larger the group is the harder to mobilize it...
I've never watched GoT and I'm not interested at all, but I do love the idea of taking an event of a passive medium of fiction and giving people the opportunity to make things differently. This is a difficult game with nice graphic design, a decent soundtrack, and the gameplay is simple but fun indeed.
Not everyhing is explained in-game. I know not if this is because of laziness / oversight (which I've seen , but it might aswell could be intentional, and honestly I do appreciate this, because the fundamentals are still explained, and the lack of advanced guidance makes the player think and experiment for himself, which I appreciate a lot.
But no game is perfect, and so I have to say that the planning system is rather ... counter intuitive, to be honest. It's rather obnoxious to find out that you've misplaced one or two units when you're almost done and then have to go back 5 different mini menus. Having one entire menu for all units, similar to a tower defense game, makes much more sense and is way better to deal with, especially after the first level is already done and all the units introduced.
That being said, I give this game a rating of 5 / 5.

*Addendum
I just saw what you (i.e. the dev) have planned, documented in the Discord Server. This looks very interesting, and my rating is mostly based on what is already there and is barely about what could be there. This game is already neigh flawless, but what you've planned, if you manage to implement it, would make this game much more fun. I'm hyped.
And guess what, when you win the next stage is ... do it again, but this time the undead will be quicker !!! (and your unit will have -1 move point ...).
For a good strat: max unit on the battle fiel, concentration of all unit on a portion of the map, and wait the undead are on them to light the trench, ... if you can !

Hi, I remember that there was developed version of this game, with full campaign, but I can't find it now. Pozdrowienia dla rodaka.
is it impossible???????????
nope, beat it 2 years ago, beat it again today, it's rather easy, just remember:
enemies don't move through lit trenches
charges INSTANTLY kill regular enemies they pass through
dragons breath heals nearby units
Heroes and THE BIRB are boosted by cavalry, cavalry and heroes are boosted by THE BIRB
THE BIRB is very bad at fighting but has 4 default move points and is great at grabbing +1 movement flags (great for infantry!)
the king will charge if you kill about an 8th of his units
waiting will only make the king closer to reviving
infantry can only kill about 4 enemies by default, so taking them is ALMOST NEVER worth it (especially with less movement points)
the enemies can only attack one unit at a time, so if you single out the king or the dragon and surround them with heroes, they're absotively forked
the king will ALSO charge if you get close to him (about 3 movement points up from the spawn area)
Great game! I found a good blitzkrieg strategy early on by placing the cavalry and all 3 heroes grouped in front to max their stats and movement, then plow through half the undead army while collecting ability points to unlock the infantry rest, dragon breath, and hide orders, let the calvary and heroes chip down fodder and king health, prolong with heal of dragon breath while doing damage to big hitters, use heroes hide to hopefully attract aggro of dragon and other troops, pop the rest to buff up the primary concentrated defense of 3 archers, defenseless, elite, catapult, and crow in back. Make use of infantry pushes after the blitzkrieg is over to mop up the rest of the army, and gang up on the king. The execution can be finicky and difficult, but it works!
lost 2/3 of my army but it worked.
just a tip: because in the later stages infantry have only 1 move point, they're basically worthless. do not get extra infantry or archers.
also: you should put the bird with the cavalry, as it and they are boosted by it (it by the cav, cav and heroes by it)
PLIS DOWNLOAD
Whats a great idea!!! Im impressed!
i got to the thanks for playing screen and the game was quite
easychallenging to get there with my armytip:
bum-rush the king with cavalry
I Cant Change The Slider The Only Things I Can Choose Are 0% (only swords) or 100% (only Bows) pls fix the bug
did you have 1 extra troop, or more?
i only had 1 troop
yeah that means it can only be 100 or 0 if it was 50 would you just slice the troop in half?
my logic was that the troops had 2 hands but i forgot that bows needed 2 hands to be used (one for holding the bow and the other for the arrow) sorry for the trouble

How do I reset game data? I'm sick of having the debuffs when I'm trying just to fool around with challenges.
clear cookies and reload
Wait, when it says "you're the tippy top of commanders here", does it mean........... I'M NO.1 ON THE LEADERBOARD????
No.. I feel your pain
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined... or it would be if this wasn't 10 years ago lol
well, you're tied with me and a few others if you also beat the second beta's 2 achievements
so technically
Great game and I show balls by admitting I failed a few times because I was learning the game. Also not gonna spoil tactics for other players who want to try out your game.
Two thumbs up, this is a masterpiece! Thanks for that!
I had a lot of fun here, i dont know if is true, but is the first time that a game says: "You are the top commander here!" Is a beautiful feeling :')
And the game is so simple but sooooo fun, i like very much.
Thanks you for making this game! :D

The 'first level'???? There's more than one?
Yeah there is currently 3+ challenge... But i completed 100% of the challenge the end challenge is called the fate challenge. Good luck in completing all of it. Wanna read what is in the end?

Yes i completed all the challenge like that.
because charging points are subtracted in the later levels, for the last level:
take NO extra infantry
place the trenches at the tippy top of the circle
cavalry goes behind them
heroes beside cav
bird under cav, boosting heroes
elites as far beside the bird as possible with the extra spawn rates
then you exploit the game until you get 2 rolls right and are good with timing charges
step 1:
light the trench IMMEDIATELY. this must not fail. restart the level if it does.
step 2: wait for the flag to spawn. it must spawn within charge range of the infantry.
whatever infantry does NOT get the flag spawn must be used to shield the bird later, so charge him towards the bird (for the other guy charge the flag). if the flag spawns anywhere else (it shouldn't) restart.

Haha nice! Well done!
Where are the archers from the prologue level? did you forget to add them?
Oops probably!
Each faction gets their own starting level with their troops. If any of them is missing a banner after that level, that means I forgot haha
had fun finnishing all of the challenges and the end.. I hope to see more from the creator of this game!
Impossible to win !!! Very nice game btw
Great game. Takes a lot of though but is really fun once you figure it out.
10/10
I saw no bugs or problems good game
10/10
I did it after 5 attempts I killed the undead king! Very enjoyable and difficult game.
Oh that's fast! Glad you liked it!

After you notice these facts, the game is simple: Maximize your Move Points, always try to make moves that hit 2 enemies, make orders after the undeads are reanimated, and perhaps learn the hidden orders.
you can aggro the king with cavalry, which makes it stop respawning all the undead
Any games like this?

Rating -> 9.8 / 10
im going to be completely honest here.
the game is amazing with the balancing of units, but the dragon's breath is overpowered if used correctly.
ive been able to demolish the waves by only targeting the enemies that give the ability points.
all in all i give this game a 9/10
only reason for not having a perfect score is the length of the game
i hope to see the developer expand this game a ton!
signing off
Akira
Super fun !
Well executed game, no bugs, a gem, well done! Hope you will share some info other than discord here on itch!

I've did it !

For a good strat: max unit on the battle fiel, concentration of all unit on a portion of the map, and wait the undead are on them to light the trench, ... if you can !
And finally after 3 stages ! I beat the game !
Thanks to the author of it ;) it was a nice moment.
I'm finding it impossible to drag my artillery units and use them effectively. What am I doing wrong?
Has anyone beaten this? I feel like it's impossible
never mind just got it. Fun game!
too hard :(
11/10 I'm really excited for a full game to come out
Very interesting; quite difficult, but that might just be me being bad at strategy games in general.
Good job :)
Nice game
Thank you!
