The JAR and JAD are the Original Java ME Version for phones and emulators. How to install.

About

A real-time lane battle for the keypad. Gold trickles in; pick a troop type and press 1, 2 or 3 to deploy it into the left, middle or right lane. Spearmen are cheap, archers strike from range and knights soak up damage. Troops fight anything they meet and batter the enemy castle if they break through, while the CPU reinforces whichever lane you are pushing hardest.

Objective: Destroy the enemy castle before your own falls.

Modes: Squire, Warlord
