When I bought my ST (some ages ago) I got a lot of games s/w with it
much of which did not impress me. However, one of the games was
Defender of the Crown.
I have tried and tried to win at this game but have yet to suceed <:-(.
I read in a magazine (ST Format -- great mag!) of a cheat. It was said
that if, when loading the game, you hold down the 'K' key on the title
screen until the game has completed loading, you will have an army of
2048 men. Well I have tried this but again with no success. When I do
hold down the 'K' key and the system loads to the point where it brings
up the screen requesting that you select which knight you want to be,
just as the screen comes up it flashes for an instant. This suggests to
me that maybe the cheat is activated, but I still only get about 7 men
in my army.
Does anyone have know how to get the extra men or alternatively is
there a good strategy to follow in order to win ?
Thanks for any help.

| 838.1 | Try this... | RUTILE::BISHOP | Wed Apr 18 1990 06:37 | 16 | |
Jon,
Haven't played this since i finished it which was about 2 months
after getting it.
1) I believe the cheat only works on the amiga (i think).
2) The best tactic is to attack the southern castles immediately,
forget about the northern castles. The best one to capture is
the camel coloured section (Cornwall & Devon) because these are
easily defendable. Then just choose from the others and work
your way North. And you've won the game. Hopefully ;-)
Let me know how you get on...
Lewis.

| 838.2 | Will this help? | COMICS::BISHOPR | Thu Apr 26 1990 07:24 | 19 | |
Jon,
I can beat this game most times now, and I agree, you must attack
castles in the south, on no account try to build up your army by doing
nothing and collecting taxes and buying. Spys come in uefull for
checking on the knights castle with the most land, sometimes they leave
no army at all in their castles, so attack then, if there are some men
in this castle, get some help from Robin who will lend you some to make
your numbers higher than the opposition (lend you up to 50 men I
think).
Remember to always attack other castles, this is the only way to win, I
dont know if any of this will be any help to you (you probably know it
already).
Anyway, good luck with this superb (if old) game.
Rich.
