About Defend the Highlands
Defend the Highlands combines tower defence, real-time strategy and Scotland. You lead a band of Scotsmen against an English invasion, defending locations around Scotland, Wales and England before taking the fight to the enemy. The band is led by Alfredo, a short, hairy and nationalistic pub owner.
Defend your homeland
Build defensive structures and recruit Scotsmen, using traditional Scottish weaponry such as golf clubs and haggis catapults. Building defences is only part of the battle: you also have to man your towers with Scotsmen. Play bagpipes to recruit more Scotsmen, and keep the bagpipe players defended. Capture and hold oat farms to maintain your porridge stockpile.
Your defences include porridge cannons, turnip turrets and cheese wheel stations. The enemy forces include Welshmen who ride sheep into battle, English teapot hurlers, Irish potato farmers and others.
Heroes and upgrades
Command hero characters ranging from Alfredo to William Wallace. Earn points to upgrade your Scotsmen and defensive structures.
Game modes
Fight through a 20-level story mode or play custom matches in skirmish mode.
