KingsAge or Travian? Medieval castles instead of ancient villages
You play Travian and are looking for variety – without giving up that familiar building-strategy feeling? Then KingsAge is worth a look. Instead of ancient villages, you build a medieval castle here, train knights and siege machines, and wage war against enemy castles.
Both games share the same DNA: long-term building, military strategy, alliances and a persistent browser universe. However, KingsAge consistently focuses on the medieval setting – castles, knights, sieges – rather than Romans, Gauls and Germans.
Getting started is simple: free, directly in your browser, no download required. Anyone who likes Travian will feel right at home in the core gameplay – just with crenellations, gates and towers.
What makes KingsAge special
KingsAge is a free medieval strategy game in your browser. It combines city building with military strategy: you decide for yourself whether to invest in economy or military, whether to ally with neighbours or attack them.
Castle building
Build and expand your castle with dozens of building types for economy and military. Each building has its place in the overall strategic picture.
Armies
Train different unit types – from archers to siege machines. The right troop composition decides between victory and defeat.
Alliances
Team up with other players for coordinated campaigns and shared defence. Politics and diplomacy are often more powerful than the sword.
Conquest
Attack enemy castles, besiege them and expand your territory piece by piece.
