Tiger Knight: Empire War - Mount & Blade meets China - F2P

Hey, chaps. Thought I'd show this off 'cos so far I'm having loads of fun. It's F2P, the combat is fun and basically handles like a Mount & Blade game.

The translation on the game isn't the best but you soon come to get used to it. You make your avatar and take him in to battle along with four other people all of who bring their own units. Your units will gain experience the more well they do in battle and you can 'buy' skills and more armour for them before upgrading higher up the food chain.

Units are ranked 1-9 and the game makes sure to put you with close-to equal or fully equal armies so you're not getting hammered by the enemy. So if I took a ranked 2 unit I'd be put in the 1-2 rank games. Rank 3 unit would be with 3-4 rank games, etc. Sometimes it can be one rank higher but that's rare.

You can make a group in the game for up to five people for competitive matches and you must reach level 5 to be in it. When I started the game I was already level 5 in the first hour of playing so it doesn't take long at all. If you don't like swarms of units you can always just dive straight in to PvP with your buddies but it's not the best since it doesn't care about what gear you're wearing, you'll be thrown to a load of people 10x higher than you. You won't lose so long as you stick together and gank the enemy.

Starting off you'll be choosing what unit you want, going in to battle and levelling up and learning as you go. I would say you better go around getting SS ranks in all the tutorials 'cos you get loads of gold, copper and prestige from that.

Exploit Store/Storage/Adjutants/Legions

Exploit store - This is where you go after dueling other players to buy any of this equipment. Very sexy stuff and quite powerful.

Legion - Basically the clan section. For 500 gold coins which you can unlock in-game without buying by doing the tutorials or other special events. Choose your flag, motto and go on from there. Simple.

Adjutants - These are your second in command that you have no control over. Think of them like officers you had in groups of Total War. They allow you to make specific formations that'll enhance your troops for situations. Obviously with some drawbacks to balance them out. The better the officer the more they cost.

Storage - This is where all your crap is stored. Self-explanatory. Whatever you unlock on your units you can buy for yourself and equip and up to 4 weapon slots.
