  All units are in the game including Rome starting 2/17/2017 Tiger Knight: Empire War is a Free-to-Play game best described as chinese mount and blade. Matches consist of two teams and either up to 12 people in Conquest mode, 32 people in duels, or 5 people in PvE. The Conquest mode also has a Siege mode with a defender and attacker. You have the option to turn this off if it gets annoying. So what is this game? It is mount and blade with troops that you command while progressing down a world of tanks like tiering system. You can equip yourself with any gear from any of the troops you have unlocked. Want to be a horse archer man? Go play with the horse archer units. The factions are currently Wu, Wei, Shu, and Rome. Parthia and Vishu are planned for later. Curren troops in them game. Wei Troops  Heavy pikemen The first wei line and a very good lin. The line starts out a bit weak but as you get more formations, they tend to be power houses that will destroy horses but will be defeated by more mobile units and range. Also enjoys spears that you can couch.  Bow Cavalry These units start at tier 3 and tend to be rather fast harassing units.  Heavy Cavalry Able to dismount when facing pike units and also has a devastating charge as well as some nice polearms. Shu Troops  Heavy Infantry These are really awkward for a few tiers but start shining past tier 7. These troops tend to be your shielded troops with throwing weapons which is useful against many of the range units in the game.  Heavy Crossbows Devastating to most troops that can’t close the gap and able to shoot across most of the map in a sniper mode. Later on they get repeating crossbows.  Crossbow Cavalry Rather strange units that never seem to do the damage that is needed but at least they can outrun Wu units. Wu Troops  Heavy Infantry These are really fast high dps melee troops that have poor armor and will die to bows or skirmishers. They perform well when their flurry attack is up and running but poorly at other times. They tend to use two handed swords or bats.  Heavy Pikemen Really fast spearmen that jump between spear and shield or long spear. Also has a long oar as a weapon. Consider them higher dps than wei pikemen but less likely to hold a defensive position.  Bowmen These are the artillery units in the game. If they can’t shoot at an arc in artillery mode, they will start firing in mortar mode where they just aim almost straight up. They are pretty good and can support your team from your own base on most maps.  Rome They took roman troops throughout the ages so you will get early, middle, and late roman infantry. They have plans to expand this faction in the future to auxiliaries. While other teams have adjutants that have formations, roman troops come with formations inherent to them. So testudo is in but only with certain era of roman troops. quote:Roman Soldiers Roman Heavy Infantry Roman Heavy Infantry is equipped with a short sword, large shield and heavy javelin. Their melee attack ability is limited, but they are highly skilled in defense. Their heavy javelin can deal large amounts of damage in mid/long range distance for a short time. The game UI will be familiar if you have ever played world of tanks with an exception. Your adjutants are your tanks, which means if you go into a battle and die fast then quit out, you have to wait for that battle to end to use that adjutant again. If you have a second adjutant, then you can enter another fight. With this roman update they are changing it. Will update this tomorrow. quote:New Interface Since the game was launched, we have received a lot of feedback and suggestions regarding the lobby interface. In this update, we have introduced a major redesign to make the lobby simpler and more user-friendly. Please continue to provide feedback concerning this new design, as we aim to further improve and refine the user experience. The adjutants come in several tiers, give you some basic formations, and allow you to remotely order your troops once they rank up. They also have a loyalty which is how well your troops fight which is trained by just using him in battles. Chinese adjutants will come with formations for your troops and their own special ability while Roman adjutants are standard bearers. These are not locked to a faction. We have a goon guild, it doesn't do anything for you and you have to apply. You can press T for taunt in the middle of a fight and plant a flag with a carp on it though. How to play with goons Step 1. Get your character to level 10. Step 2. Click Legion. Step 3. Click Goon. Step 4. Apply. Step 5. Post in thread and let me know. If it says you are too low of a level go to Step 1. Things added since you last played All factions are in Server had lag issues They fixed it Server had lag issues They fixed it Changed tiering - T1-4, T5-7, T8-10. Lower tier units get more troops. You can now choose your units once a match has launched but before it started. Conquest mode changed from 5v5 to 6v6 Premades have a higher chance to face premades. Solo people have a higher chance to face solo players. Experience is now based on tiers and faction. You can use that experience on anything within that tier and faction. Free experience is still a thing. Some skills on units were changed. New skills added to the game. The flags/power ups on the map don't open up for a few minutes. How to deal with Multichop Most people will see sailors in white and not have any idea how to deal with them. Wu infantry tend to have access to multichop while other troops do not have access to it as often. Multichop generally has a long cool down but that gets reduced as you tier up. If you see someone doing it, move away, let their duration expire, then move in. You don't have to smash your troops into the enemy at the start and most wu players will pop that a little before combat so they can maximize it. Just know the duration of it in that tier and play accordingly. Wu troops are fast and so may chase some of your guys down so expect some losses. Or you know, let the archer on your team destroy them. Here are some images, idiots             Third World Reagan fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Feb 17, 2017 |

The game forces you into a tutorial and female avatars are not available. Platoons are 5 people. PvE mode is kinda meh. Roman troops are not in yet, same with parthia and vishu. But you can make a roman general. Adjutants have formations that give bonuses to certain types of game play. Melee defense + or -, things like that. If you can't move with WASD, unplug your controller. This is a known issue. The combat requires you to move your mouse in a direction as you swing. You can carry 4 weapons with you and one can be a shield. The gear you get is unlocked for your troops and you at the same time. So if you go down an archer tech tree, you will unlock archer armor and weapons that you can use. You can then go use infantry troops and still use archer gear for your self but unlock melee gear for your troops. The minimap before the start of the game gives you an option to select where you spawn and tell people where you want to go. You can not change that or zoom out on the map once you hit confirm.  There might be built in voip, who knows. On the map there are 3 power up locations. Health, Bow troops, and gear/horses/arrow/shield repair. They will be random each map. You can also go back to your base and there is a camp icon that you can go to to refill your troops.

some screen shots    So adjutants are tied to a troop. If you die in a fight and hop out to play a different troop, you have to have a second adjutant. Also your weapons have a sweet spot in range where they do more damage. All armor is based on 3 damage and armor types and there is coverage problems with some. My Wu sailors in tier 3 don't have shoulder or arm coverage.

Put this in the OP with big sirens. It's very important to know how many naked sailors died fighting over a point. Or where a really bad horse commander lost all of his horses to peasants armed with sharpened bamboo poles.

Update on my adventure as a wu infantry I look dumb as hell. A wooden two handed sword and armor that covers only one arm. Thanks to two of those pieces though I can no longer ride horses. EDIT:
