Six Banners
Read full descriptionHide full description
No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No internet, ever. Six Banners is a complete fantasy auto battler โ one war, eight to fifteen minutes, fought by an army you build rather than command. Command the war, not the soldier. Choose Humans, Orcs or Elves, place permanent production buildings, invest in economy and technology, read what your rival is building, and decide where your next automatic wave will form. You never micromanage a single unit โ every purchase becomes a visible commitment on the battlefield. THREE BANNERS Iron Banner fields the Humans โ shields and siege. Ember Banner fields the Orcs โ fire and war-beasts. Verdant Accord fields the Elves โ nature and archery. Each banner has six units and six producers across three tiers, two economy buildings, and its own Citadel, forward bunker, producer architecture, silhouettes, palette, commander power, and audio identity. Eighteen units in all, and every one carries a named signature upgrade that changes how it fights while preserving a counter. PLACEMENT IS THE DECISION A five-column deployment grid spans your rear territory. Columns shape your formation across one central battle lane; rows shape arrival timing and protection. Build a durable front line, protect ranged companies, scout the rival's formation, and choose your next counter. The battlefield scrolls vertically, keeping the war on one clear front. EVERY WAVE, AUTOMATICALLY Gold accrues on a readable five-second cadence. When the wave horn sounds, every producer adds its units to the formation. Survivors stay on the field and merge with later waves. Units walk, fly, pick legal targets, collide, use role-specific attacks and abilities, die, and keep pushing โ without orders. BREAK THE BUNKER, THEN THE CITADEL A faction bunker stands forward of every Citadel โ one fortified structure, two firing points, roughly half Citadel durability, and a one-time gold bounty. Your companies must breach it before the Citadel becomes a legal target. SCOUT WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE Fog of war hides unscouted producers, companies, deployment cells, and bunker and Citadel state. Your own structures and moving companies reveal ground locally. Breaking the rival bunker reveals the build yard behind it, giving you more information for the next counter-build. HONEST OPPONENTS Three AI profiles form a learnable offline ladder. The AI uses the same wallet, the same placement rules, the same unlocks, the same combat rules, and the same vision as you. Difficulty changes how quickly it decides and how much it holds in reserve โ never hidden income, hidden power, or targeting through fog. MATCHES THAT END Hold a living-unit advantage past the midline for a modest, symmetric income edge. A match ends when a Citadel falls, typically in eight to fifteen minutes. Late in a match a clearly labelled, symmetric Final Siege ramps the damage bunkers and Citadels take โ an army still has to arrive, but a settled advantage cannot stall forever. PROGRESSION THAT STAYS COSMETIC Five authored offline Warpath stages escalate conditions and award cosmetic rewards. Experience unlocks emblems, Citadel finishes, unit trims, and battlefield themes. It never modifies combat power, income, or score. BUILT FOR THE PHONE Portrait throughout. A compact HUD leaves room for the battlefield, and the camera follows the action. Switch between Fight and Base with one tap. Tap a deployment cell to build, or tap the battlefield beside an open panel to close it. Settings pauses the match while you make changes. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No analytics, no tracking, no notifications, and no permission prompts of any kind. The app asks nothing of your device and sends nothing off it โ settings, progress, cosmetic selections, and match records stay in local storage and are removed when you delete the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Six Banners at none against Picky Battles's shown. Six Banners also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 days). Picky Battles's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
