The Warlords is a free MMORPG that is based on late Qing Dynasty. The mid-19th century was one of the darkest periods of Chinese history. Natural disasters, typhoons, droughts and floods wreaked havoc in the countryside. In the midst of this chaos, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, one of the strongest rebel groups ever to rise up in China, was overrunning the country and staging battles with the Qing army threatening the throne.
In this truceless world, both the soldiers and bandits band together to put down rebellion for the imperial government and the commoners. You can choose to be anyone of them. Take your weapons and start your adventure with your bodyguards from the Lotus Port!

Footman & Marksman

The combat style are of two classes: the close ranged Footman and the long ranged Marksman. The Footman is expert in various kinds of melee weapons, such as sword, voulge, saber, axe, staff and so on. The marksman is skillful in ranged attack. Bows are their favorites.

Entourage System

In the Warlords, your bodyguards will go wherever you go. You are their master and they will be loyal to you only.
In the actual combat, they will help you kill rebels, give your protection, taking 70% damage for you, or even die for you. As late Qing warriors, they will level up and equip different weapons, too. Part of your Kungfu is determined by their attributes. The higher their Valor is, the more powerful Kungfu you will have. Two guards of the same type can be united together to upgrade the Valor.
Different guards have different combat skills. Sometimes, these skills are mutually destructive. After reaching a certain level, they can be reincarnated.

Brotherhood & Sisterhood

In ancient China, brotherhood is everything. It is the soul of the Warlords. Three players can be sworn brothers or sisters. After that, they can share Kungfu and their enemy list. In emergent situation, brothers can instantly come to rescue each other.

Nobility Rank

In the Warlords, all the commoners can be granted with the rank of nobility as long as they donate enough silver to the imperial government. The rank of nobility is divided into 5 classes: Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke and Prince (Princess).

Voyage Campaigns

Voyage Campaign is an innovative quest system in the Warlords. As the riots and unrest are widely spread in the territory of the kingdom, the Qing court wants the experienced warriors to crush the troubles for them. Therefore, no matter if you are an imperial soldier or a bandit, the supreme authority will reward you with bountiful awards once you complete these urgent quests.
The requirements for the Voyage Campaign are strict, and vary from one campaign to another. After receiving a Voyage Campaign, players will depart for the destination on board a ship.
