Lords Online is a strategic war game that utilizes the classic combat rules set down in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The story is set in the mystical land of Mu. On this continent, several races live amid a constant struggle for supremacy. Lords Online takes a realistic approach to governing, giving players the ability to deal with various political affairs, such as comforting citizens after attacks and disasters, collecting taxes, producing resources for military and economic use and so on.
Lords Online is a browser based strategic war game, but it also includes many aspects of RPGs, which is the leveling and cultivation of heroes. Heroes are a crucial part of an army, as they are on the front lines providing leadership and guidance to troops. For their part, heroes can earn experience, increase stat points to upgrade skills and be equipped with various kinds of armor, not to mention the special skills and magic that are available. Including features like the cultivation of heroes, equipped armor, legions of military units, plundering , alliance building, and governing functions, Lords Online is slated to enter its Alpha and Beta testing phases in late 2009.
