Mobilising Armies

Mobilising Armies is a real-time strategy minigame in RuneScape that was released the 8th of July 2009. During the minigame, players will use "hard made bows, swords, etc. to equip [their] own armies in 4-player battles", as announced in Future PVP Updates, the Behind the Scenes update of August 2008.

Jagex originally announced in the November 2008 update that they would release it in December. However, in the December 2008 update, Jagex announced that the release of the minigame would be postponed until 2009. Its current status is that it will be released "in the next few weeks", as of the Mobilising Armies Developers' Blog of 26 June 2009.

It was eventually realeased the 8th of July 2009 along with a new teleport spell.

Unintentional leaks


Almost immediately after the public became aware of Jagex' plan to release Mobilising Armies, the Mobilising Armies hiscores icon was revealed by the site's CSS code. Users could go to the Hiscores -&gt; Minigame Hiscores, right-click on the icon for Duel Tournaments, open the properties window, copy the image URL, paste it into the address bar, and replace 'dueltournament1' with 'mobilisingarmies1'. This would show the icon for Mobilising Armies. However, Jagex has found this and removed the page.



There had been another possible leak in the Game Guide, under Magic - The Basics. There was a picture of a spellbook with a teleport below the Home Teleport spell that looks like a castle. This IS an unintentional leak to Mobilising Armies, but is no longer there.
