Battle Siege Royale

Battle Siege Royale is a siege-combat game set in North Wales during the High Middle Ages. You fight the English, reliving the historic battles of Owain Glyndŵr, and reclaim kingdoms across the countryside until all of North Wales is yours. The aim is to defend your castle, destroy enemy siege weapons and castles, and outlast the other kingdoms.

Siege weapons

Choose a ballista, catapult or trebuchet. Combat and movement controls are similar to those in a tank game, and each weapon balances speed, maneuverability, strength and firepower differently.

• Ballista: the fastest and most agile weapon, it is easy to drive, steer and aim. Its light frame and projectile have the least impact, making it vulnerable to stronger siege weapons. It suits fast, repeated shots and close combat.
• Catapult: a middle ground between the ballista and trebuchet in agility. Its sturdier frame and heavier projectile make it stronger against attacks and more damaging to enemies.
• Trebuchet: the slowest and most awkward to steer, but it has the strongest frame and launches the most powerful projectiles, with the largest impact radius.

Castles and combat

Your castle is your spawn point, and you slowly regain health while inside it. You can stay and defend your castle or leave it exposed while taking the fight to your enemies. Castles, buildings and walls can all be destroyed, and your castle is the only place where you can repair your damaged siege weapon.

Historic weapons

The ballista, pioneered by the early Romans, is built like a large crossbow on wheels and launches an iron bolt. It appeared in medieval warfare across Europe, though it was less common than the catapult or trebuchet as resources became scarce and newer inventions emerged.

The Greeks pioneered the catapult before the ballista. Many versions appeared over time, but its basic design used a bucket held under tension: a large stone was pulled back and released to launch over a long distance.

The trebuchet is a large, powerful but less mobile siege weapon. Its origins are debated: it may have developed from the Chinese manually powered mangonel, while some accounts attribute the larger design to the Norman English or the Franks. A long arm held by a release rope or hook is driven forward by a heavy counterweight, launching even heavy projectiles.
