Dragon Banner

FREE Expansion

Black Powder Expansion is Free and adds lots of new content in addition to some improvements.



New Tech: Barrel Bomb - great for destroying blocks quickly. Stand near the Barrel Bomb to activate it. It's health with tick down until it explodes. Don't stand too close!

New Unit: Grenadiers - A new option to destroy blocks. Warning: They will attack enemy blocks before attacking units.

New Town Villager: Aurora - She has a fiery personality and some quests to unlock the new black powder technologies, Barrel Bombs and Grenadiers. You must complete the quest, Watchtower, before Aurora moves to town.

New Quests: Aurora offers quests, Rancher Ron has some new quests and town blueprint rewards, and Quartermaster Cid also has one more quest for you.

New Objectives: Demolish has you destroy a certain number of enemy blocks. Planter quests task you with building Planters, like gardening. So, let's see some screenshots of your gardens.

Improved Skirmish Mode: You can now select the objective for a skirmish, including the new Demolish and Planter objectives and be treated to a randomized level to complete.

Special Requests: Special Requests are new each time you enter town and offer bonus Command Points (CP) as a reward. Be warned, the higher the reward, the more difficult the quest. You may want to pass on the more difficult requests that come along, unless you are up for a real challenge. Special Requests are available after completing the quest Warehouse Raid.

Graphics Update

This new update greatly improves the graphics of Dragon Banner, added shadows and new shading effects!

Buildings and terrain now cast shadows! This has a big effect on the look of the game, really improving the quality of every level.

Shadows can be turned off or on in the Options menu. If you find your computer has trouble running the game at a steady frame rate, try turning off shadows to improve performance.

Characters and Equipment in the game are now rendered with an enhanced cell shading technique, helping the visuals pop with more detailed shading and contrast.

Thanks for playing!
