the Bruce had captured almost every English city north of York. Edward II gathered an
army and marched forth to subdue the Scots, but Bruce won the decisive battle at
Bannockburn, thus giving Scotland its independence.
Nikopolis (1396 AD)
By the late 14th century, the once-mighty Byzantine Empire had been reduced to little
more than the city of Constantinople. In 1391, the Ottoman ruler Bayazid besieged the
city. Pope Boniface IX called for a crusade, and John De Nevers, the son of the Duke
of Burgundy, led a Bracno-Burgundian army to fight the Ottomans. He was joined
by King Sigizmund of Hungary. The crusaders met the Ottomans at Nikopol on the
Danube. The arrogance of the French nobles was once again shown when John De
Nevers led his knights into a frontal charge of the Ottoman positions without waiting
for the bulk of the army to follow. The Turks took advantage of this reckless act and
counter-attacked the Franks with their heavy cavalry and Serbian allied regiments. The
last Crusade ended infamously on the banks of the Danube.
King of Towers
King of Towers is a special mode of play where both sides compete for the towers
on the battlefield. In this mode, you will play on an open field with a set number of
towers. In the beginning, the towers are neutral. You have to capture as many towers
as possible, for every tower in your possession generates an additional amount of
money. If you order your knight to camp, you can purchase additional units for your
army from the knight’s tent. The goal of the game is to capture all of the towers or to
kill all enemy knights.
