Khan Wars[1][2][3][4][5] is browser-based, massively multi-player online (MMO) strategy game. The game is set in medieval times where players can start building their own kingdoms. The diversity of choosing from 12 different nations to play with allows the players to use different strategies during their game time. Players can also cooperate in mighty Clans and compete for winning the Clan Ranking.

History

The game's first release was back in 2005 only in Bulgaria. Later it grew in several other countries and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Now Khan Wars is in its 7th version, where new features, such as the battle visualisation [6] and new Knight special battle skills were introduced.

Plot

Khan Wars is a very competitive strategy game with an exciting balance of an immersive medieval world and in-depth combat. You can not only construct buildings, recruit soldiers and interact with other players, but you can also engage in battles for new territories.

Gameplay

Each player starts with a single castle and a couple hundred resources. With the assistance of many quests and missions he develops his empire and unlocks the ability to conquer other castles. During his adventures he can recruit different units as infantry, archers or cavalry. If he wished to engage his opponents in a more cruel manner he can also choose demolition units to destroy their buildings.

Nations

There are 12 different nations to choose from, each one of them with different bonuses and unique special units. The diversity of special units, their abilities and nation bonuses provide a wide array of strategies and playing style.

Castles

Each player's main place of development is his Castle.[7] He can choose from 16 buildings with different applications. There is a possibility to choose from an economic-oriented or a military-oriented development. Castles stored a player’s resources, buildings and army.

Army and Units

There are 28 different battle units. 16 of them [8] are accessible to all players, while the other 12 are nation-specific units. From the units accessible to all players 4 of them are infantry, 3 are archers, 4 are cavalry and the other 4 are demolition machines. The last one is the Nobleman, used to conquer enemy castles.

Knights

Along with your development and marches you can choose a Knight[9] for your Castle. The Knight has its own equipment which increases certain abilities of your army. Also you can send Knights on missions to gain extra prestige, army or resources.
