In the 1066 game you get to control the English, Viking or Norman armies. The aim of the game is to defeat your enemy's army by killing or scaring off as many of them as possible! The game puts you into the thick of the action, giving you direct control over every arrow barrage, cavalry charge and defensive stand. Taunts, chants and the presence of a strong leader will all prove crucial to winning the day.
A multiplayer option also offers the chance to test your mettle against friends.

Great game
Who knew educational games could be great fun?
Although, it is a bit short, but it is certainly worth your time

awesome game
i really liked it, even though waiting for an online opponent can be tiresome, which of course is no fault of you, the developers. if there is going to be a second part, there are a few things I would recommend, first of which would be: when units start fleeing the battlefield, don't make them straight disappear.for example, if on their way off the battlefield, they should get a morale boost when running into the leader-unit.secondly, commands should be un-do-able. if the sequel is going to be set in later medieval times,make sure that the units are contemporary. last thing: the range of the norman cavalry is too far in comparison with the other units, which gives them a clear advantage on top of their strength...I hope that's constructive enough for the developer's of such a great game!

Nice Game
Even though I thought the taunts were kinda cheesy, the whole game was really fun. I thought the combat was very well handled, although it would have been nice to have like a practice round for archery, but I'm gonna play it again so I guess I can practice some more that way. Multiplayer is a great feature. And you got Ian Holm to narrate? Nice.

Really Amazing.
Best game on newgrounds in my opinion. Really fun for people who like strategy games. The online with friends is cool, the random people online is cool, and the story mode is pretty good. A bit short, but good. The game just feels really high quality and keeps me coming back. I like the history connection too, its not just a random war. Awesome job, I hope to see more. P.S. I didn't get that glitch everyone talks about.

Fun but... im impatent
I honestly think there should be a button to skip all the moving around, i got really tired of waiting for my troops to move after awhile and thats why i didnt even finish the game, but great gameplay and the only glich was that the critics pointed out (hopefully) but im going to give this a 9.6 outa 10 (10 on the thing cause i rounded up), keep it up, cant wait for your next game, remember, impatent people like me dont like to wait soo long for there troops or w/e to move around
