Can I make my archers attack enemies?

Getting kind of old watching them do nothing while my base is being attacked 50 feet away.

If you want to send archers from one side to the other, unfortunately this is only possible in Kingdom Two Crowns. In New Lands, as they usually split even, we have to hire 2 archers, in order to add 1 on the side that is in danger.

Thanks man. I know this game is kinda old, but I wish they had priorities for either the population OR for the buildings. For the population, it could be something like passive, defensive or aggressive. For the buildings/defensive structures, a drop down menu for priority. Too bad because this game seemed kinda cool, but I just can't get past my archers having their back turned to the enemy, with no way of getting them to do otherwise. RIP.

Yes. So, I do not build archer towers. Sad and silly but true. Or maybe only when I am certain I will not expand the line forward anymore.

Then again if those huge monsters come smashing through town, those archers MIGHT help stop them. Those archers don't cost any maintenance, so you really only need to "replace" them, they aren't exactly lost just mostly useless, unless base is overrun. Think of them like a garrison or civil-defense?

How exactly do I build an archer tower? There is no menu for this, only a lump of something on the ground with a couple empty circles above it. I don't know if I'm building an archer tower or a soccer stadium.

Maybe there is a way of knowing what your coins go to, if there is, I haven't found it yet.

Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

This game was conceived to give players the opportunity of experimenting and trying the available features on their own. This is how it can surprise you both positively and negatively, when you discover the outcome of your own decisions, which should be based on the few visual and auditory cues the game has given you. It will certainly make you uncomfortable during the process, and this is intentional. It creates tension, without which good surprises lose an important chunk of their potential. I know, it sounds bizarre, as most games nowadays are just: press space to open the door, press A to grab an item, press this, and that, until you memorize those action buttons, repeat them to the point of making your reactions automatic, and fast, and this is when you'll feel yourself freaking POWERFUL, almost like a damn GOD on earth, for doing... Well, exactly what the game told you to. It's just so easy to get used to this cycle. And there's nothing wrong with that. But Kingdom is different.

[Darth Invader]

Yeah, I dunno. I was just left scratching my head as to why my defensive units weren't, well, defending.

All good though. I'll just go back to pressing "A" to do "this or that". I guess I'm just spoiled that way.

Thanks and have a nice day.

There are places where you can press the button to perform an action. Some of these have one dot and in the beginning they extend the wall. Some of these have three dots and in the beginning they are an archer tower.

Later it gets more complicated, and some dots are characters moving around, but that should get you for a while. Yeah try to learn from the game, they do give you sounds and visuals that help.

It just seems like randomly upgrading stuff and hoping for the best, with little clue as to what your actually building. Like, i just built a catapult when i thought i was building a barn?!

Would be nice if the buildings at least had signs on them so you could sorta guess what might happen.

Still pretty fun and relaxing, seems like that train/subway game that came out a couple years back (I guess that was based on this game, i forget its name).
