Draw your sword, gather your clan, and brace yourself to fight as war has arrived in medieval Europe, with Green Man Gaming and Warlock Wireless announcing the brand new De Re Militari update to Of Kings and Men.
The update introduces a strategic layer, as players gather with their clan mates to plan battles and conquer territories, with the goal of becoming the dominant kingdom. Siege castles, raid villages, and plan strategic partnerships with other clans to claim victory.
Other new features introduced since the game launched on Early Access includes a new lobby, stores to purchase new equipment for your character; Hold Your Ground, a cooperative mode that sees players fight against waves of enemies; and The Arena, a free for all battle over treasure chests filled with loot.
“The development team have worked incredibly hard over the past few months to deliver a much requested feature from the community. We’re confident players are going to enjoy the beginning of this new era for Of Kings And Men, and we look forward to the team delivering further exciting updates,” said Gary Rowe, EVP Publishing at Green Man Gaming.

Our featured De Re Militari mode allows you to experience a real-time medieval war campaign set in a persistent world. Now you can gather your clan, plan your attack, and brace yourself against the enemy.
Join a team and work your way up the ranks as you battle it out with up to 150 other players in a fight. Learn the ropes, and someday you might even try your hand at leading your own army…
GET INVOLVED IN DYNAMIC COMBAT AGAINST OTHER PLAYERS
Experience a realistic combat system based on the study of historical European martial arts and medieval manuscripts. Fight with a fast-paced, intuitive combat system that will leave your heart pounding.
Meet and chat with fellow players in our Lobby. Socialize and get to know one another by choosing to play in fun modes, or risk you life by venturing into the wilderness in search of adventure.
HONE YOUR SKILLS
Level up in combat, and choose which stat points to upgrade. Make enemies cower in the face of your strength as they tremble under the ferocity of your sword. Or maybe you’re quick and nimble, preferring to snigger at your foes as you pierce them with your arrows from afar. You are in control.
UNLOCK REWARDS
Unlock new gear, from full plate armor to two-handed swords. Create and customize your own unique warrior. Stand out, and make them remember you.
Draw your sword, and march forth into battle with your head held high. It’s time to claim your place as the most powerful lord of the realm.
