It is free in the app store, but $4.99 to get the full version which is totally awsome compaired to the LITE version. So if you do have the LITE version then this is the faq for you. Here is explain some of the characters that you get and all five of the LITE version levels. I hope this will help you with your playing and I hope you will do good. This is a basic strategy/fighting game that requires knowlenge of the characters and strategy to beat the oposing army. This is a pretty promising game but reall, the full version is even better then the LITE version. Enjoy. ________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ / Using the Guide \ \ 2USIN / \ / \________________________________________________________________________/ The way to use this guide guide is quite simple and just like most of the faqs you will see one Gamefaqs.

This game isn't to complicated, after a few levels you should get the hang of it, but i'll still tell you how to play the game. NOTE: when you tap a player you get a screen with the option of: Move, Attack, or done. =============== Movement==4MOVE =============== When you tap a play the option of movement will appear, tap it and tap somewhere to move them there. A light green border will appear then tap somewhere in that border and a red arrow will appear, tap it again to move. Once you're done moving, then you can move to onto the next player and either move them or attack. =============== Fighting==4FIGH =============== When it comes to fighting, you half to go to attack on the player list, and you'll see mulitple options for attacks depending of the player. So when you choose the attack option you will see one or more enemies with red squares under themselves meaning you can attack them. When you attack them, they will attack you back and both players will lose a bit of health (depending on the player). ================= Deployment==4DEPL ================= When it comes to certain levels in the game, you will need to deploy players and choose your army. If you don't like the people you get in the other levels the you're in luck because here you can choose who you get. At the start you get 1000 deployment points to make your army, each player is worth around 75-300 deployment points (depending on the player). Once you are finish or run out of points then you can exit. Theres also an X which will get rid of the highlighed player. Go to Upgrade Army to choose new characters for your deployment by buying and using icons. You can upgrade your army when ever you like. ________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ / The Battle of Carrone \ \ 5TBOC / \ / \________________________________________________________________________/ Carrone is a country, there are many countries in this game but sadly, there not avalible in the demo. You are fighting here and even trying to kill the Carrone army or who ever is in your way, fight with pride and glory. ================ Carrone 1==5CAR1 ================ Battle Map: ________________________________________________ | | | XXX OO | | XXXX OO | | XXX OO | | | | | | O OO | | O O | | | | | | | | | | | |________________________________________________| LEGEND: O - Your army X - Rebel Army This is level one, and I must say, it's a good start, the people at the bottom are crossbowmen and the catapult which is perfect for distanced attacks. You also have three Pike men, three footmen and three horsemen. The rebel armiesstrongest player is the horsemen. First start off with the catapult and the crossbow attack, if you set it up right, you can do some good damage to start off. When it comes to the horse men, move the two slightly closer to the rebel army and charge with the second one to take away around 75-90 hit points from the bottom right pike man. From there you can take the three footmen and pikemen and move them a little closer to the rebel army, the top right one will have an attack square for one of the pikemen but you can ignore that for now. After the Rebel army attack, the horsemen that you sent out will probably be dead by now. Go back to the catapult and the crossbowmen and set the attack up right to do a lot of damage. You worst enemies are going to be the swordsmen and the horsemen so try to attack them. Go to the two remaining horsemen on your list and attack who ever you can with the charge abitily, this should wipe out players with under 60 hit points or do some good damage either way. Now when it comes to the pike men, there first attack is very strong so use that to hit either the horsemen or one of the rebel army enemies. Finally, when it comes to the footmen, try to move them in an area where you can surround somone or if you can, attack. It will harder and harder to do good damage with the catapult here, because your army men are surrounding the rebel attacks making it easy to hit your men with the catapult, try and hit as many people as you can with it or just hit one strong person. For the crossbowmen, try to attack a weak person to finish them off, or try to attack a strong person. Now you'll notice that the rebel army is surrounding you and blocking you, use some of the horsemen to do some good damage and finish them off with the pikemen and the footmen. After you use the catapult to do as much damage as you can you need to take out the horsemen with a pikemen or another horsemen. Once he's finished with you need to focus on the swordsmen, you need to use as many horsemen and pike men as you can (and even the crossbowmen) to take these guys out, because they do a lot of sword damage. After the level is complete and you finish off as many people as you can or who evers left, your done, congradulations. SPOILS OF WAR Knight Cavalry Crossbowmen Catapult Pikemen Pikemen Footmen Footmen =============== Carrone 2==CAR2 =============== Battle Map: ______________________________________________ | | | | | R | | RRRRR | | RRRRR | | DDD RRRRR | | DDD | | DDD | | DDD CCCCC | | CCCCC | | CCCCC | | | | C | | | | | |______________________________________________| LEGEND: D - Deployment Area R - Rebel Army C - Carrone Army Recommended Deployments: Cavarly Pikemen Pikemen Footmen Crossbowmen Catapult This level is a little a lot harder because of the deployment, this only gives you around five to six guys depending on who you use. The Enemies have you out numbered by an unbeleivable amount. right now you only have six people while they have 16. The have a lot ore Swords men and Pikemen as well as Great swordsmen who deal an unbeleiveable amount of damage. The Rebel army has a Preist who can heal players and can retribute others who attack them (this takes away 10 hit points. This is definatley a hard desicing to choose who to attack, but it really doesn't require much thinking. For the First four turns you're not going to want to do anything, im serious, for the first part the Rebel Army and Carrone army willattack each other, this is good to weaken themselves then attack at the very end. The only objective is to defeat the opponients army so just sit back and watch the fun. Around turn four, a halberdier will come and attack one of your men, he is very strong but should he should already be weakend by the other fights so a pike men and a crossbowmen should get rid of him. Soon you can used long distanced attackers like the Crossbowmen and the catapult to wipe out some men, and you can even send some out to do some extra damage and to make this quicker. Don't use a close up attack like a pikemen against one of the rebel army men becuase the preist might have retributed them, and the last thing you want in a big fight is extra points being lost. Once you attack them then they'll get there men to attack you. Wipe out the preist to be able to attack the Rebel army without losing extra points (use a catapult or a crossbowmen to be on the safe side). From here on kill as many people as you can and any one will kill anyone, but remember, it will all be over after one army is dead so don't go for a varaty of players. Soon you can kill some evtra enemis and move closer to where ever they go to do this as fast as you can. Soon they also start to run away to move closer until you can kill them. Soon everything will be over with and one of the armies will die. SPOILS OF WAR ~ Weapons ~ Weapons Footmen Footmen ================ Carrone 3==5CAR3 ================ Battle Map: _____________________________________________________ | | | | | | | RRR R | | RRRRR | | RRRRR CCCCC RR | | CCCCC CRR | | R | | | | C CCC | | AA | | EEE PP | | EEE PPP | | DDD EEE PPP | | DDD PPP | | DDD PP | | | | | |_____________________________________________________| D - Deployment Area P - Duke Pellus E - Emporer A - Random Army R - Rebel Army C - Carrone Army Recommended Deployment: Pikemen Pikemen Footmen Catapult Crossbowmen Cavalry This looks a lot more challenging, and it is. Instead of killing all the armies like in the last one, you need to kill the duke and defend the Emporer. Just like in Carrone 2, you need to lay low for a while until the armies die down. You can use a Catapult of a Crossbowmen to weaken the duke but you might also want to send a pikemen or a footmen out to get them as well. The Emporers army is very strong and has a wizard with good damage which will kill the armies above. The Emporer also has a preist. The Duke and the Emporer are located as Heros on the battle feild and can do everything a horsemen can, but with more damage. At first the Duke will kill some random army to show how tough he is and then move onto the Emporer. For the first few turns just lay low and attack with distanced attackers for now and ingore the wizard and the other armies up there. the Carrone army and the Rebel army will automaticly fight each other (like in Carrone 2) but these guys have better men and a couple crossbowmen. Just lay low and catapult for a while and try not to get in the way to much. Luckily, if you get close to the Emporers preist, then you will get a retributed sword which will help during the battle. After a while Duke Pellus will die and you need to kill the rest of his army. It's not that hard but with the Emporer and the preist it should be no problem to finish them off. and Unfortunatly the wizard is still fighting the Carrone Army and the rebel army. Remeber, you need to keep as much of the Emporers army as possible and to keep the Emporer safe. Soon the Carrone army and the Rebel army will join into your fight and you need to kill them too. If you still have the preist around then you're good for the most part but you still need the catapult and the crossbowmen more then ever to survive. You also need to wipe out another army at the top, so either the carrone army of the Rebel army. After the fight they just had, it should be pretty easy to kill them. After a while one of them will die and the battle will be over. SPOILS OF WAR Militiamen Militiamen Militiamen Hero ============================ Carrone Raid Attacker==5CARA ============================ From here you are either defending a castle or attacking it. I will walk you through both options right now, starting with the Attackers. Battle Map: _________________________________ | | | | | | | YY | | Y YY L | | Y YY LLL | | Y YY LLLL | | YY LLL | | L | |_________________________________| Legion Defenders - L You - Y Here you are attacking the castle. You have two catapults, two crossbowmen and a trebuchet which does major damage. First start off with the Catapults, trebuchet and the crossbowers to weaken them a bit, then send out three men from the top and bottom row to go out and attack the castle from the sides. Soon the Crossbowers will start to attack the people coming at the walls but you can use the catapults and the trebuchet as well as the crssbowmen to pay them back. Now move the three men on each side closer to the ends to get ready for a raid. Now you can use the Catapults, trebuchet and crossbows to kill some of the people at the front and use the people at the sides to enter the castle and to raid the area completely. Soon they will start to send some men after the guys coming for the walls. Just keep with the plan and try to go as far into the castle as possible. It will be a little harder to use the catapults now becuase of the fact of crowding. so the trebuchet and the crossbowers will come in hady and try to lay off of the catapults. Once you're in the castle ther will be a little hut with a red flag, destroy who evers in the becuase that increases there health by 20, so raid them and kill the guy near the hut. You can even put the men with low health near the hut incase you're dieing to increase there health a bit. Soon you will notice that killing the guy in the hut is a little harder then you thought so get the trebuchet closer so you can hit the guy with it. After that you can get some extra health and finish off who evers left there. SPOILS Of WAR ~ Armor Militiamen ============================ Carrone raid Defneder==5CARD ============================ Battle Map: ____________________________________ | | | | | | | LL Y | | L LL YYY | | L LL YYYY | | L LL YYY | | LL Y | | | | | | | | | |____________________________________| Y - You L - Legion Attackers As a Defender you start first so you can use the four crossbowmen and the catapult to do some damage. You also have the special hut which will revive 20 health points, so if one of the crossbowers or someone else is dieing then you can go there to be restored. Soon some enemies will come after you, this is a good time to use the crossbowmen to weaken them up and to use a swordsmen to finish them off. You should also attack the army using the first three men in the castle to make this a little faster. You might also want to send out some militamen to kill some of there footmen. Continue to use the hut and attack people with the arrows, and please note that when your raid the other team, the catapult is useless. Soon you're going to need to get rid of those catapults and the trebuchet that's shooting at you. If you get some soliders then you can attack them and they wont do anything but move. SPOILS OF WAR ~ Armor Militiamen ________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ / Characters \ \ 6CHAR / \ / \________________________________________________________________________/ When you go to the upgrade army section, you'll have the oportuneaty to upgrade the army for deployment (this really only work in the full verion, but i'll explain the characters you have).
