Tips

  • Each unit takes two hits to down.  There is no counter-attack phase in combat, so two units can attack a unit to take it out before it attacks on the enemy turn.
  • Losing your Lord will cause an instant game-over.
  • Enemies do not move, but Arbalesters can attack from range, so be careful where units are positioned.
  • While every other unit only has 1 attack range, Arbalesters have 2-3.  This means they have a blind-spot right in front of them, where they cannot attack units.  Use this to your advantage if you aren't able to 1-turn one.
  • Cavaliers have almost double the movement range of the rest of your army - use these to take out high-priority targets, like Arbalesters.
  • There is no functional difference between Axe Fighters and Halberdiers, this was cut for time.

This looks great, but is there no Linux version for us beardies?

Greetings fellow Linux beardie! There’s Makefile rules in the src for generating AppImages, but I’m on NixOS and had issues getting those to run on non-NixOS machines.

Until I get around to fixing my build workflow, easiest steps for Linux is to either run the .love with the love2d from your package manager, or run the Windows version in Wine.
