About Battle of Banners
Battle of Banners is a board browser game built around a war of banners on a hexagonal battlefield. In this turn-based medieval strategy you command a squad of knights, claim land, build camps, and shape the front line turn by turn. Every move matters: where to advance, which tile to block, whom to push back, and where to set an ambush by the forest or at a crossing. The winner is the one who expands faster than rivals and destroys their forces. Play your way: locally on one device with friends, against bots for practice, or online — in duels and multiplayer matches.
How to Play
Full rules — in the section. Quick rules: Goal — destroy all enemy soldiers and houses. Turn — each soldier performs one action per turn: move or attack. You can spend gold as much as you want as long as you have enough. Combat & capture — a soldier acts only on a neighboring tile. An attack = moving onto an enemy tile. If successful, the tile becomes yours. A soldier defeats another soldier if its level is higher; a level 4 soldier can attack any soldier. A house is destroyed immediately by any soldier. Economy — income: +1 per income tile (in a chain connected to a house) and +2 per house. If you lack gold for upkeep, soldiers die starting with the most expensive.
