Medieval Battle (2007)

Medieval Battle (original 2007)

From the deepest archives of my creations comes the original Medieval Battle, a game made in 2007 for a local jam-like contest.

The Battle

In this game, you take on the role of a medieval lord, defending your land from your neighbor's hostile forces in a medieval battle (hence the name!). On three slightly different maps, you will find local resources to use to train your people in different skills, and to fight against their enemy.
Destroy their castle before they destroy yours.

Resources

On the map, there are three different resources to be mined - wood from ever-growing trees, stone from stone deposits, and gold from gold mines. Materials can also be gained passively by building gatherers' spots in your town.
When gathered, materials are used to train respective workers and soldiers, and for both repairing and upgrading your castle and buildings.

Units

For resource gathering, you can use a woodcutter, a stoneminer or a goldminer, each only mining their material and ignoring the others.

For battle purposes, only the soldiers matter, and there are three types:

• Clubmen: Weaker and cheaper melee units.
• Axemen: Stronger, armored, but costly melee units.
• Bowmen: Ranged warriors that can hit the enemy castle from afar.

Castle

Your castle is not only the point to protect but also the entrance to your town, where you can improve your passive resource income by building gathering spots, increase maximum population by founding residential houses, and reinforce your castle itself.

Buildings

• Castle: The most important structure. Without it, you lose. It allows you to train soldiers and workers.

• Residential House: Increases the population available to train as workers.

• Woodcutter's Hut: Increases passive income of wood.

• Stone Miner's Hut: Increases passive income of stone.

• Gold Miner's Hut: Increases passive income of gold.

Controls

The whole game is controlled by your mouse, occasionally using the escape key. The main menu, training and building buttons, everything is left-clicked.
The main menu is in Czech, so here is a quick translation for you:

• Nová hra = New game - Start a new battle or resource training.
• Nahrát hru = Load game - Continue previously saved battle progress.
• Herní informace = Game info - Shows some game information in a popup window.
• Homepage hry = Game's homepage - Better to leave it sleeping, it's several decades old.
• Ukončení hry = Quit game - Why would you want to quit?

Train buttons:

• Woodcutter
• Stoneminer
• Goldminer
• Clubman
• Axeman
• Bowman
• Repair castle

Build buttons:

• Residential House
• Woodcutter's Hut
• Stoneminer's Hut

Objective

As mentioned, you must protect your castle at all costs and, on the other side, destroy the enemy castle.
It's that easy!

Have a nice battle!
