The latter presumably requires a GameBoy Link Cable, but is also a rather entertaining way to play this. For the sake of this guide, assume we're doing one-player. You can choose one of three difficulty levels, which can affect the enemies' strategy, resources, and the like. ~~~ When the game begins, you will need to choose one of three characters: O=============O=========O===========O | Character | Power | Defense | O=============O=========O===========O | Left | 2/5 | 4/5 | | Middle | 3/5 | 3/5 | | Right | 4/5 | 2/5 | O=============O=========O===========O Pick as you will, but beginners will prefer the middle character's abilities for balance. Next, you will choose one of two fields. This matters very little, actually, except in visual orientations. Then you will choose the "home castle", which is where you station your main attack and is basically the place you want to protect. ~~~ Finally, the game truly begins. First, you will place a number of cannons inside the castle walls. You will want them closer to the enemy, which is across the river you can easily see. After setting them all, or at least as many as you can, the first battle begins. You will want to use the D-Pad to shift the cursor across the river to the enemy forces. You are going to be attacked during this time as well, so be quick. The enemy usually are either moving around randomly, or in a direct route to your home castle. You'll want to eliminate as many of them as possible. My personal strategy is, while they're all other the opposite side of the river, hit the soldiers, towers, just about anything nearest the river. Rapid pressing of the A Button is sufficient, so long as you focus on one target. BEWARE OF USING SOME KIND OF AUTOFIRE/TURBO FUNCTION. This is often available on emulators and the GameCube controllers for the GameBoy Player. This seems to make all shots ineffective and explode near your castle, presumably doing damage to it. That is not a good idea. After some time, you will have to repair and build the wall back around your castle. You will see a shadow of the figure you're going to place down; press A to place it, or B to rotate it. You do not have to, nor should you, stick to original boundaries of the castle. In fact, try to expand a little each time a battle comes around. Not a whole lot, because, as with the cannon placement, you are timed. If you do not complete a whole polygonal shape around any castle nearby, you will automatically lose the fight. Beware this. Any cannons not within fully surrounded castle walls are inactive as well, so be careful. After this point, scores will be tallied for destroying the enemy, finding treasure, self-maintenance, and so on. Then the next battle begins much like this. After enough successful battles, you'll conquer an area. Your goal is to conquer every area. Seeing as the battles are randomized, I cannot provide a decent walkthrough, so just try to use the strategies above.
