Resources

Gathering:

  • Send workers near trees or gold mines to make them gather resources.
  • Send workers near newly placed buildings to make them build them.
  • In Defensive mode, workers will work on whatever is nearest them, and not stop working even if attacked.
  • In Offensive mode, workers will prefer attacking and repairing buildings over working.

Building:

  • If you have workers selected (start with 2), you'll see two icons on the right side. Drag the House (H) icon to the left and onto the field to build a house, same for the Barracks (B).
  • Houses cost 125 wood and 125 gold, Barracks cost 75 of each, and towers cost 25 of each.
  • Houses produce more workers, select a house and touch the W icon to make one.

Military

Barracks:

  • They produce infantry, archers, and cavalry.

Unit groups:

  • There are 9 slots for remembering/setting active groups.
  • Have a group of units or a building selected, tap an empty slot at the top left you want to assign it to.
  • Tap the number again to reselect those units.
  • Tap it with the group already selected to center the screen to their location.
  • Hold the number for a half second to erase the grouping.

Changelog

Change log (v0.11c)

  • Another bug fix, this time with the group tabs. Groups weren't getting reset between games, so if you played two games in a row and selected a group created in the first game, the game would crash. Thanks to Pilot_51 for the info.
  • Also finally got around to writing the high score page for the survival mode, the page is fairly ugly(similar to the Explosive Gas stats page) but seems to be working properly.
