Knights vs Dragons Battle Simulator is a 3D medieval battle simulator in which you command a kingdom's army against an invading force of dragons and monsters. You do not control a single soldier. You place and command whole units, and then watch the fight play out.
The three arms of your army each do a different job. Archers deal damage from range but fold quickly if anything reaches them. Catapults hit hard and slowly, and are best aimed at groups. Cavalry are your fast, heavy unit, good at reaching enemies that your archers cannot handle alone.
How to Play Knights vs Dragons Battle Simulator
Each battle starts with you deploying your forces. Where you put a unit matters as much as which unit you pick, because once the fight begins the armies engage automatically and your early decisions are what decide it.
Victory means clearing the field of the dragon army. Because the game is a simulator rather than a real-time strategy title, the interesting part is the setup: choosing your mix of archers, catapults and cavalry against what is coming, and positioning them so each one is doing the job it is good at.
Controls
- Select and place units: click or tap to choose a unit, then click the field to deploy it.
- Camera: drag to look around the battlefield, and scroll to zoom where supported.
- Start the battle: confirm your deployment to begin the engagement.
Tips and Tricks
- Put your archers behind everything else. They are the most valuable units on the field and the easiest to lose.
- Aim catapults at clusters, not at single enemies. Their slow reload makes every shot at a lone target a wasted one.
- Use cavalry to intercept, not to lead. Sending them in first means losing your fastest units before they are needed.
- Watch which side the dragons come from and weight your line towards it rather than spreading evenly.
- If a battle goes badly, change your unit mix before changing your positions. Composition is usually the problem.
Who This Game Is For
This is for players who enjoy setting up a fight more than fighting it, and who like watching a mass battle resolve itself. The 3D presentation gives the clashes a scale that most browser strategy games do not attempt.
If you want direct moment-to-moment control of your army, this will feel hands-off. The decisions all happen before the swords come out.
