In the Old Days We had Dirt Clod Wars.

Each group claimed a pile of earth and violent chaos ensued. Blood was drawn and tears were shed. Occasionally Badeaux or Butler would shoot a pellet at you just to keep you aware that being a pussy was not an option. Spitale would wander up and both teams would train our best throws on him and he’d laugh and run to whatever side I was on. Shea would stand on the top and beg you to throw at him and then laugh at you as he karate kicked your dome. Badeaux usually ended up as King of The hill and we were good with that natural hierarchy. Then Spillman ( RIP ) would explain to us how babies were made and Day Day would beg us to see an old Playboy.
Then we’d play baseball and football for 6 hours and hunt for snakes.
If you know this childhood , you know.

We had pine cone and bottle rocket wars in my neighborhood. I came pretty close to getting seriously burned when my Umbro shorts went up in flames from a bottle rocket to the thigh.
But I wouldn't trade those memories for anything now.

Magnolia blooms make a pretty good projectile also.
We used to have bb gun wars. How none of us got seriously injured I do not know but we shot one another with BB Guns. Imagine an unaccompanied kid with a gun today...folks would have a stroke

God, I remember dirt clod wars. We would have Mountains of dirt with which to build forts and endless ammo.
It was glorious

I see you are talking about king of the hill
but from the title I thought you were talking about taking the clumps of mud from the crawfish holes and pegging them at each other

Homemade slingshots and bow and arrows were some other weapons of choice.

We used to play tackle football where both goal lines were literal concrete sidewalks, one of the sidelines was the street, and the other was the landscape shrubs up against one of the houses. It's a wonder no one was impaled by one of the shrubs, or knocked out cold on the concrete. There were plenty of skinned up knees and elbows though.

It was a dirt clod War that always devolved to King of the hill. A red blood American kid combo.whatever we had to do to have fun and establish the hierarchy. Brothers in child arms.

Used to have pine cone fights with the Carson boys. They couldn't cross the street and neither could we. So we hurled pine cones at each other from across the street in between cars.

First time I tried out for baseball, age 9, I got cut. That was before pay , play and get a trophy days.
My mom saw the coach at church and he
told her I would pick up a dirt clod and when I caught a ground ball I would throw the clod to first base. He said I did this every day and he thought I needed to wait until next season to try out again.

Dirt throwing wars were common for us. I smacked one friend in the nose once and he had problems with a bleeding nose for years afterwards.
I’m so glad my kids had better things to do than throw dirt and rocks at each other. LOL

Ours always ended with "Don't tell your mom.... It's not that bad!"

We would rob construction sites BLIND. I do not know how we didn't tossed in jail but we did not think twice about toting entire sheets of plywood off and loads of 2X4s and blocks / bricks. I could run through the woods on a moonless night with a 4x8 sheet of plywood and never fall....twisting and turning and leaping over roots and ditches. I can't hardly get a 4X8 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on my truck now LOL and need a beer and a nap when I get it home and get it unloaded.

We would play tackle football with 2 - 100 kids. A lot of times the ball carrier would be tackled by 30 kids, about half of them were supposed to be on the same team LOL.

Our neighborhood football field was our back yard. Concrete sidewalk for the north end zone, three to five foot drop off a retaining wall for the south end zone, west sideline was another five to seven foot drop off a retaining wall, northeast corner of the field had a chestnut tree that would shed needle-sharp burrs in the fall so no one wanted to get tackled there (or tackle anyone there), and the dog was usually tied out at the north end during a portion of every day so there was dog poop to avoid as well.
Still, it was fun as hell. Tackle football at full speed with no pads and no one cried or whined when they got tagged real good.

Half of us would be in the Tree House and the other half would be behind various objects/shields and we would throw sticks at each other and we called it "stick wars" and it was glorious
