RickR Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'm talking about the thing inside each castle. What exactly is it? A two-point flag? A dude sitting down? A knight from the torso up (the top part is his head with the face shield down, the bottom, his torso with a lance sticking out)? WTF? Here is the manuals description. It's a "warlord". Help me solve this question that's been bothering me for 40 years. Justin and Gianna 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 @RickR GREAT POST, GREAT QUESTION!! I've been asking myself this for 30 years! What the heck? Once I played the original arcade version of Warlords I realized that what I had been playing all along was The Atari 2600 approximation of what was in the arcades. But still, what the heck is that thing? How is that supposed to be a "Warlord"? It looks like one of the cities from Missile Command toppled over on its side. For a long time I accepted that it was supposed to be a crown, but I'm not so sure that it's not one half of the "Darth Vader Warlord" face from the arcades: Gianna and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) The are sideways, sitting warlords. 😁 Much easier to tell what they are on Medieval Mayhem...

CrossBow Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'm going with knights with the top half being their face shield down and the long pointy bit is each Knight or Warlord sticking out a sword. At least, that is what I always thought when I was a boy.
