Battle of Banners

About Battle of Banners: Turn-Based Medieval Strategy on a Hexagonal Battlefield

Battle of Banners drops you onto a hexagonal battlefield where every tile you claim and every soldier you position shapes the outcome of a medieval war. The game puts you in command of a squad of knights, tasking you with expanding your territory, building camps, and pushing the front line forward one deliberate turn at a time. Winning means outpacing rivals in land control while dismantling their forces entirely.

One scene shows small green-leafed trees with brown trunks occupying individual hexagonal spaces across the map. Another scene shows a blue tent structure sitting on pale tan ground inside a hexagonal cell outlined in blue. Maps with varied terrain shift the tactical picture from match to match, keeping each game dynamic and fair — only you, your opponent, and the choices you make.

Battle of Banners supports local play on one device with friends, solo practice against bots, and online duels and multiplayer matches, so the format fits whatever situation you're in.

How to Play Battle of Banners: Destroy All Enemy Soldiers and Houses

The goal is to destroy all enemy soldiers and houses. Each turn, every soldier performs one action — move or attack. Gold can be spent freely within a turn as long as you have enough.

Combat and Capture

• A soldier can only act on a neighboring tile.
• Attacking means moving onto an enemy tile; if the attack succeeds, that tile becomes yours.
• A soldier defeats an opposing soldier only if its level is higher.
• A level 4 soldier can attack any soldier regardless of level.
• Any soldier destroys a house immediately.

Economy

• Each income tile in a chain connected to a house generates +1 gold per turn.
• Each house generates +2 gold per turn.
• If gold falls short of upkeep costs, soldiers die starting with the most expensive.
