IntroductionMedieval Wars is a turn based strategy game, it's a big improvement from the first Medieval Wars. We introduced new different type of units: infantry (spearmen, swordsmen, pikemen), mounted (light cavalry, medium and heavy) and ranged (bowmen, long-bowmen, crossbowmen). The battle system has changed heavily and has been influenced by Advanced Wars and the Battalion Series.

Hero ManagementYou are a Captain, a leader of a mercenary company of men, fighting for Nobles and Lords paying for your service.
Here you can manage your Hero, clicking the arrows to select between different weapons, shields, armours and helms. Clicking on the icon near the name you can regenerate it. When you have done you can click the Save button to exit from the screen and save the changes you made.
Game ModesYou can play in campaign mode unlocking new levels and new campaigns (thanks to our tools we will be able to add new campaigns, giving more longevity to the game). We think to include the best user maps created to the new campaigns. You can play in skirmish mode in a randomly generated map for a quick and fast game experience. You can play and rate user created maps.
GameplayYou will compete against computer controlled opponents from 1 to 5 and your main goal is to crush the enemies armies killing all their troops and conquering all their towers and castle. Usually a map contains castles where you can create units and generate income, wheat fields, orchards and mines that increase your gold incomes to create new units. Every terrain give you a defense bonus except from swamp (defense malus), mines, wheat fields and orchards.
