This is a guide to playing Exiled Kingdoms on a PC. I am going to teach you how I did this in under an hour:
The technical skill required: Moderate
Phase one: Installing Android
We will be using Remix OS.

Hover over Remix OS. Select Remix OS PC. The Remix player is an emulator. I tried that. It no worky with EK. While I'm sure it's a very nice emulator, at the time of my writing this it is probably no good for our purposes. That may change in the future though.
Now download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version, based on your Windows version. Wait for the excruciatingly long download.
Here is a video that explains the installation:

It's fairly simple. I installed to my hard drive, but if you have a USB 3.0 thumb drive you can install to that too. Don't worry about the hard drive partitioning part, it's safe and won't kill your data. It will if you use a thumb drive though.
Congratulations! If all went well then by now you have figured things out and now have a brand new operating system on your PC. How fun!
Seriously, Remix is awesome.
"PHANTOM!" You're probably saying, "I could have gotten an emulator to do this! And the keyboard doesn't work like you promised!"
Oh.
Phase Two: Getting EK working
The operating system comes with an app called GamingToolkit. This is the magic that makes EK actually playable without a controller. Once EK is downloaded and installed open that toolkit app up. Now open EK. Click through everything until you're in game. What you're going to do is map the buttons on your keyboard so they register as touches. Here's a video that showcases the concept:

Now open up the toolkit in game. Drag the direction control thingy over the onscreen controller and adjust the size until it fits perfectly. You can map it to WASD, Arrow keys or anything else on the keyboard. Then drag touch targets over everything on the screen until it looks something like this:
If you're clever you can position the attack key so that it will also close out of your inventory.
Tada! Exiled Kingdoms now runs on a PC with a keyboard! Woohoo!
Let me know if it works for you too, I'm excited to see how useful this is. Also let me know if I left something out and I'll fix it.
Note to David: This doesn't mean you're off the hook for making an official version!
