CONTROLS
Pan with arrow keys or move the mouse to the screen edges.
Left-click your units and towns; right-click for info.
Use the bottom unit bar to pick troops. Press End Turn when done.
Scouts claim neutral towns.

UNITS
King, Knight, Archer, Wizard, Scout (Thief) — each moves and fights differently.
Only scouts can claim neutral towns. Kings in castles boost loyalty.

TOWNS AND CASTLES
Recruiting costs 20 loyalty from that town. If loyalty is above 40 you can recruit
without a unit on the town; at 40 or below you must station a unit on the town
to recruit. Each turn a unit stays on a town, that town gains 25 loyalty (up to 100).
Towns with no garrison still gain a small amount of loyalty each turn.
Heavy recruiting or attacks can drop loyalty; if it falls too far, you can lose the town.
Kings inside castles help loyalty for your side.

WINNING
Kill the enemy king or capture all enemy towns.

TIPS
Check movement and attack range before you commit. Protect your king.
