darwin

Detailed Instructions

Each day, the amount of enemy troops and their frequency increases. There are enemy archers, knights, and shieldsmen. The archers take 1 or 2 shots to kill, the knights take 3-5 shots to kill, and the shieldmen are tricky, as they block most of your shots away. They take 1-2 successful shots to kill. If you run into problems and an enemy troop is about to get to the castle walls, do not worry. A Darwin knight will come to your rescue. But you only have 10 knights to spare. When they battle the enemy, they can be killed as easily as you. Be sure not to shoot your own knights when they are roaming the fields! If you are out of knights and an enemy penetrates your castle walls then your game is over. Your knights and yourself are not your only defense. The castle has a pet underground burrowing rabid bunny. He pops up from time to time in hopes to borrow a hole under the feet of your enemy for breakfast, or to appear in front of them and attack for a mid-afternoon snack. If things are looking bleak and life and arrows are low, don't worry. During mid-day your squire will come and help you out with water or arrows, depending on what you need most. At the end of the day, you will have a chance to replenish one thing. If 5 enemy soldiers penetrate your castle walls then your game is over. If any penetrate your walls, and you reach the end of your day, then they will pillage your castle and kill knights until they are caught. When you receive an item at the end of the day, (food, wine, or water), you can use it during battle to help refill your life. Water refills 25 points, wine 50 points, and food is mystery usually between 20-75 points. You have 10 days to successfully defend the castle. Can you do it? The enemy sure doesn't want you to, as with every passing day they move quicker, appear more often, and after 3 days they start sneaking up on you (You'll see)!

About

			Castle Darwin is under attack! It is up to you, the archer, and the castle knights to defend it (with some help with the castle's pet underground rabid burrowing bunny). You have 10 days of grueling attacks that you must survive or else the castle will fall to the hands of the enemy! Be careful of the enemy archers as they will fire at you, and be sure to keep track of your arrows or else you will run out! But fortunately for you, your squire will arrive just in time in mid-day to help you with what you need.
