What to Expect

In Warrior Knights, players take the role of Barons trying to control the majority of cities on the map.

A unique aspect is the Assembly, where players vote on motions that assign titles and offices bringing extra troops or income. Alliances form and break as players vie for dominance until one emerges victorious.
