About this add-on
Three rulers. Three visions of power.
Crowns of History is a DLC expansion for The King Is Watching, bringing three all-new Rulers drawn from the echoes of history.
Each one features innovative mechanics, abilities, and exclusive quests designed to transform your gameplay.
The Queen who commands armies through death, rebirth, and overwhelming summoned forces. Cleopatra unlocks a unique resource: Canopy, gathered from fallen friendly units or enemy corpses. Harness Canopy to summon from 11 types of Egyptian-inspired units, depending on your Barracks capacity
Many Egyptian units unleash powerful "Upon Death" effects, like explosive Scarabs or spell-casting Cobra Mages.With Pharaoh’s Blessing, units are reborn after death. “Upon Death” effects trigger normally for all units, blessed or not.
Her abilities include:
Ancient Call: Summon a random Egyptian unit
Harvest Bodies: Gather Canopy from the fallen corpses
Pharaoh’s Blessing: Bestow rebirth to some of your units
A Ruler centered on summoning units, exploiting death-triggered effects, and overwhelming foes through relentless revival.
The Emperor who turns fortifications into engines of destruction. Ideal for players craving total ranged supremacy and overwhelming firepower. Taizong enhances Offensive Buildings, boosting their damage by 2% for every point of Morale. He can recruit Crossbowmen to defend gates and walls without impacting your unit limit, and he begins with Brick Factory to be able to repair walls from the start.
His abilities:
More Firepower: Acquire an Offensive Structure blueprint and a Crossbowman to man your walls.
Emperor’s Wrath: Increase attack speed for all Offensive Structures
Divine Punishment: All Enemies are struck by lightning for 100 damage and stunned for 5s. Additionally, 2 Horsemen arrive on the battlefield
The King who wields devastating power through armies as fragile as they are lethal. Xerxes' forces endure a 90% health penalty but deliver exponentially amplified damage that grows with training. Build a fragile yet devastating glass cannon army that can vaporize bosses in moments.
His abilities:
Ephemeral Existence: Grant your army temporary invincibility
Summon Immortals: Summon Immortals to target area
Sands of Time: Reset all ability cooldowns
Tackle his quests to unlock evasion boosts, expanded attack ranges, and enhanced survivability via clever synergies.
