One of my favourite things about this site is finding great little games, like this one, hidden behind a low play count and poor ratings they don't deserve. The strategy is complicated, but not unbalanced. The difficulty can be challenging, but by no means impossible. All in all, excellent quality. You've earned my 5.

It would help if enemy units were added to the library when you're defeated as well so you can see how to counter them.

It's great when you beat the game. All the units are available from the start, enemies are more challenging, and a higher cap on all the updates. This game is really fun! I'm surprised that this game finally has some things that are entertaining. At first, I thought it was another boring cliche, until I played it. Yay for you.

any tips for the orc berserkers?hard to guess the unit type since the library won't tell me until i've beaten them...

I noticed a graphical bug: I began a legendary game mode, where there are 8 upgrades instead of 4. In all for lines of skills first 4 skills have 8 levels shown, but the last 3 have only 1 level shown. The skills can be upgraded normally, but the numbers of upgrades can be as strange as 2/1, 3/1 to 8/1.

"Welcome to Sunfall Isle, Commander. This once prosperous island has been ravaged by pirate raids in recent months. Now these raiders have sunk..." :D ".....Their teeth into the proud town of Hearthvale." :(

ork berserker is op, there is no effective way to kill them. heavy armor, fail assassins, cavs, fail heavy armor backed with ranged troops, works but it sucks a lot of money from you

you should change the color of the upgrade icons a bit so that you can tell just from a glance if you have enough gold to upgrade it or not. Right now you have to click on it to see if you have enough gold or not.

The begining "This once prosperous island has been ravaged by pirate raids in recent months. Now these raiders have sunk.... YAY! ..... Their teeth into the proud town of hearthville. AWWW MAN! -_-

i managed to get through swinebrook, what i did was to send out scouts on lanes that don't have any enemy until the opponent's hp drops to zero, then send out legionary or marine units. hope this helps :)

I didnt think I liked this game until I realized I had beaten it. I wanted nothing more than to beat the enemies into oblivion. Lets see a sequel with more units, and more upgrades!!!

Very nice game. Liked it a lot :) But few problems. Was waiting till the end for another cavalry unit, like Heavy Cavalry? Also no bosses. Could be like 2 lines wide? There should be smthing like 2 units can join, not wait in queue or maybe "upgrade" like that for archers too.

Can you put the timer on the game screen please? Also, maybe put the launch wave button in the empty space to the right of your unit portraits. Great game, thank you.

Stronger/faster units need to be able to move past other units. My archer shouldn't be fighting a guy when a guard is right behind him.

A very good game, lots of fun. However, you still have to balance the units and the "paper, scicors, stone"-thing. Some units are to powerful and not weak enough against their special opponent. Other units are completely useless, like the casters e.g. In legendary mode I just used scouts and nothing else. Because they are so quick, one can use "wave" more quickly, and they are cheap. In normal mode I normaly just used 2-3 types of units throughout the complete campaign. Whenever I tried to mix up my troops, it just did not work. For example, I could do the whole campaign with Scouts and Border Cavalry only. Or I just use Marine and Helian Archer till I get Hearthguard and Ranger. The game should be more stragetical and require the player to think about which units to use before AND during a battle.
Oh, and can you add some additional music? ;)

Great Game. Would be greater if I could reset points spent in the academy to try a new strategy rather than start a new game. That being said it also needs a return to main menu button.

effective tactic:
defend you for some time and save some gold (100 is enough depending on the stage). choose a empty lane, spam it with cavalry and watch.

I greatly enjoyed this game, much more then warlords (perhaps its the upgrade system and overall esthetics?) especially once legendary mode was unlocked.

Completed legendary just spamming assassins on every level. Completed normal by spamming assassins on every level after you unlock them. You really don't require any other unit at that stage. Just make sure to upgrade swords and their hp (obviously the 2 money upgrades are important if you're spamming).

All right, look, if you're going to take away half our experience when we replay a level, at least let us keep the experience we gain from a battle we lost. Seeing myself overrun by a bunch of pirates, inexplicably more skilled in combat than an army of legionnaires and centurions and whatnot, is just frustrating enough already without knowing that I gained absolutely bloody nothing from the fight. There are no new library entries so I can learn how to counter my foe. There is no experience awaiting me. I get no units. I only get "YOU LOSE" and more grinding of previous levels.
Grinding has never, ever, EVER been a good choice in this kind of game. It's boring, it's repetitive, it's tiresome, you only get a tiny reward and it's repetitive.

Getting only half xp on the replay of a level is a bad thing in this game. It makes it just boring and let us wait too long for upgrades. Next time put more thoughts into the strategic part of this game.

cavalry is best --- T I P ---: you wanna have enough points for the final levels? play 20x the easy CRADON CRAG on level VI ("Ephira") only with upgraded cavalry. you get so many gold to upgrade your whole army. good luck boyz!

Those orc bezerks are killer. They hit first, faster, and seem to have a range before my swordsmen. I seem to need ~4 archers, or 1 heavy sword and 2 archers. That's really expensive to kill a single unit, not to mention that the AI stacks the bezerk w/ a heavy cav (on SwineBrook) Help!

i like the game so far, only one thing i would like is to be able to have more then 6 units in my army at a time, but otherwise i enjoy playing it

Skirmisher+Liegeblade+Scout+Marine+Pikeman --> The best formation to counter any type of unit. Marine = Cheap semi-tank/semi-killer (10g each) - Liegeblade = Tank/Killer cheap for it's benefits (18g each +2 for each kill) - Scout = To kill annoying ranged units (37+ damage against ranged + upgrades) - Pikeman = Cheap killer of mounted units (10 gold each +9 bonus dmg vs cavalry + upgrades) - Skirmisher = Good against units that can block meelee attacks and heavy units (as long as you have someone to tank the damage for you a.k.a. Cheap Marines).

If anyone is wondering about a third cavalry unit (after scout and border cavalry), a heavy spear cavalry unit appears in the roster when you start Legendary mode. Base stats: 7 atk, 80 hp, 1 range, 3 speed, 24 cost, +8 vs ranged, charge: first attack does 2x damage, deflect: 2 less damage from ranged.

1. The whole game can be passed with two units.
Scout. Border Rider. You don't need any more units, really.
2. There is an upgrade that says `spear cavalry units get +...`. I waited all game long for the third cavalry unit. Or for a heavy cavalry unit. Hammer cavalry unit, anyone? Nope. No luck for me... =\

Too many foes with "Poison" if you ask me. When battles tend to drag on, that 5% or 10% chance to instant kill can instantly turn the tide of the battle with a few lucky strikes. Makes me feel forced to always use assassins to counter them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Here is an IMPORTANT tip. Assassins are amazing use only assassins for some levels. They have a ten percent chance to insta kill which may not sound like that much but they can also take quite alot of hits. Thier normal attack power is pretty strong to. On top of that there fast moving infantry. Make sure to upgrade your infantry though. They even have a 25 percent chance to block an infantry attack. One alone is weak, but all you moneys worth is unstoppable
Its a great feeling to insta kill an enemy as soon as contact is made.

Haven't tried this in Legendary mode yet, however near the end when I was becoming too tired of fighting off a single unit that would kill three of my best, most upgraded units, which then fuelled their morale to release a wave against me, I came to realize that the easiest thing was to forgo any lane with a strong enemy unit, and just blitz empty lanes with scouts. With a fully upgraded Military Doctrine and Patriotic Fervor, I could blast 10+ scouts down some empty lanes, earning enough morale to send a full wave of more scouts, and by the time their units had reached me, the enemy would not be able to make anymore. Every last level I was able to be at ~73 health and win.

I have found a pretty interesting bug: i went afk during a stage and when i was back i was defeated (obviously). But after that, each stage stopped spawning enemy units, so i win each stage in 22s using full cavalery.

Really fun game. Theres a way to beat most stage easily : send all your cavalry in one line to drop enemy castle hp to 0 (dont worry about letting enemy unit damage your castle), then with the remaining enemy unit on the field, sumon repair unit as fast as you can, it will recover lost hp, and your completion will be 100% lol
4/5 !

Bug: On reaching Legend mode, I checked the barracks (full units), and upgrades (zero upgrades), then reloaded the game to go back to Standard mode (to fight a few more battles to finish those final upgrades on standard mode). Afterwards I reloaded the game again to switch to Legend mode, but the barracks are empty, the (1-6) shortcuts are empty as well, and fighting brings up the black screen. Reloading the game further doesn't help.

Impossible badge "Undying Commander": Finish "Legendary Mode" with all levels at 100%. I'm waiting for it, Kongregate. ;)

I don't really know why this game is voted really badly. It's great, with the opportunity to become something to rival bigger games. This is one of those really short but quite hard games that let you remember that games are more than just animations.
Swinebrook Berserkers Tip:
Use one legionary, one skirmisher and one helian archer. Providing you have enough upgrades, it'll be a breeze.
