Timelines: War Kingdoms is a turn-based war strategy game from the developers of Strategy and Tactics series of games. In this strategy game, inspired by classic hardcore PC games in the genre of 4x TBS, grand strategy and wargame, you can lead your civilization or empire in the medieval age. It is a historical strategy game for mobile phones, but you can play it without an internet connection, just like an old-school computer game. In this offline game you will find everything you expect from a 4x strategy about the Middle Ages: knights, castles, crusades, diplomacy, scientific development, and of course battles! Gather armies, conquer neighbors' lands, destroy kingdoms, suppress peasant rebellions. For those who are tired of historically accurate games, we also offer a fantasy mode. Monsters and fantastic beasts will join your troops. Dragons will fight phoenixes and griffins, unicorns and centaurs will clash with Titans and minotaurs! It's a paradox, but no matter which mode you choose, in any case you'll experience deep immersion into the medieval era, smart turn-based tactics and total war hardcore. Medieval turn-based battles from the creators of Strategy & Tactics Play without the internet! This is an offline game, a game without Wi-Fi, like classic strategy games on PC! Missions and sandbox mode! Choose for yourself - complete missions, performing specific tasks or just play in a Sandbox, do whatever you want, redrawing the map of Europe and develop the civilization at your own wish. Just like in PC strategy games, there is everything here: economy, diplomacy, war and scientific research! You can try to play for any of the countries in the game for free! You can choose from: England, France, Scotland, Ireland, Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Burgundy, Aragon, Portugal, Castile, Navarre, Genoa, Venice, Milan and Florence. New countries in updates! Each country has its own bonuses, strengths and weaknesses. Choose Joan of Arc, Svyatoslav, Richard the Lionheart and many other historical figures as leaders of your kingdom! Two modes: historical for fans of real computer historically accurate games and fantasy, if you want to add dragons and unicorns to the real Middle Ages! A multitude of different types of troops: archers, crossbowmen, halberdiers, heavy and light cavalry, mounted skirmishers, swordsmen, heavy infantry, Templars, Gendarmes, Hospitallers, Teutonic Knights and, of course, the fleet and siege weapons. For lovers of exoticism, there are Scottish Highlanders and Spanish Almogavars, Avis knights and Sherwood archers (new fractions in updates!). If you choose the fantasy mode, you will also encounter such monsters as: black dragons, Nessie, unicorns, angels, trolls, griffins, werewolves, cyclops, centaurs, minotaurs, phoenixes, hydras and titans. Huge map of Western Europe (new maps in updates!).
