About Castle Conquest
Castle Conquest is a minimalist real-time strategy game played on colourful voxel landscapes. Every castle you own trains new troops each second, and you decide where they march: strike a weak neutral fort, reinforce your front line or throw everything at an enemy stronghold.
The fun is in timing and economy. Attacking sends half of a castle's garrison, so overreaching leaves you exposed, while spending troops to upgrade a castle makes it produce faster and hold more. Rival kingdoms expand and fight each other too, so battles across snowfields, deserts and green hills shift quickly, and endless random maps wait after the handcrafted levels.

How to play
Capture every enemy castle (red, green or yellow) to win the level; lose all of your blue castles and the battle is over. Select one of your castles, then pick another castle to send half of its troops there, marching through nearby castles you own. Troops that reach an enemy or neutral castle reduce its garrison and capture it when it reaches zero. When a castle shows a ▲ it has enough troops to be upgraded, which makes it produce more troops.
Controls
- Click / Tap
- Select your castle, then pick a target to attack

Tips
- Grab nearby grey neutral castles early: they cost only a few troops and immediately add to your production.
- Upgrade your home castle as soon as it shows ▲, because a bigger castle trains up to three troops per second.
- Wait until an enemy castle has just sent out an attack before striking it, since its garrison is at its weakest.
- Drag troops from safe castles in the rear to the front line so your attacks are big enough to break through.
