Defender of the Crown free Flash version.

Yes, the game was written to fit on a floppy, and AI had not been done well at the time, so it was common for the computer opponents to cheat in some way to make up for it.

Glad I could help.

Now that I'm remembering how to play, I haven't lost a game. I should try someone other than Geoffrey Longsword.

Geoffrey Longsword. I started in the maroon-colored territory on the west side, and I held off buying troops for a couple turns while I grabbed the two empty territories to the west. Kept reinforcing my campaign army every round. I got good at knocking down walls with my catapult, so capturing capitols got pretty easy. I used Robin twice early on, then saved the last favor for the endgame.

I still can't joust for crap. Was only able to unseat the other guy once.

another tip, there are notches on the rope of the catapolt which are where you need to stop. Go all the way down first, then go up each little lighter area on the rope. It's pretty easy, and it helps a lot with attacking castles.

No problem. Playing this game definately brought back a lot of memories for me as well.
