What Makes Noblemen: 1896 Stand Out
You are a Nobleman. You have the best equipment, the best weapons, and the best armies. Only you can destroy the enemy!
The year is 1896, and war has begun… To your right, Militia are cut down by saber wielding cavalry. In the distance, cannon fire echoes as a lumbering Steam Tank fires its auto cannons. Your Gatling Gun Team unleashes a salvo of fire, cutting down an enemy squad like wheat. Behind you, the drone of your Frigate Class Airship reassures you before unleashing its salvo of supporting fire.
You are a Nobleman, and it's up to you to lead your armies to victory!

Community Insight:
Great game but 1 little thing WE NEED BETTER MULTIPLAYER FORSAKEN PLS btw war tortoise is awsome.
We have been playing this game for years, across many phones and accounts, and its amazing, however, there could be many improvements with the ai, like we hate how you could spend half the battle flanking the Gatling gun only to have him immediately notice you and tear you to shreds, also, we think you should be able to make a custom battalion like infintry with a support of vehicles or artillery with vehicle support and it would be rated to see how much it would cost, there should also be a quarry, theres a bunker and a fort, but only a ours.
You should add trains as they fight the civil war setting and there would be two classes of trains: armored and transport (armored trains would be able to destroy fortification but not be able to carry infantry) and transport trains would do the exact opposite.
IM NOT EVEN GONNA WRITE ANYTHING JUST PLAY THIS GAME.
Good game we just want our account back.
This game is excellent the new one looks even better.
Ive been playing this game for two years. We love the combination of strategy gameplay and being able to fight in battles. The only thing we dont like is the Shield Infantry. We find them useless. Also, can you make the engineers a part of more units (infantry battalion, Buckleys Ghosts, 501 Packrat Divison, etc)? And could you add a Native American warriors unit? They could either be on horseback or walking on foot.
Overall, we enjoy this game. Its well executed. We enjoy the leveling up of characters and units. We think the combat is fun our main problem we have is how long the tutorial lasts. Ive not found a way to opt out, but it continues for days and days. Even after playing for a while we have constant pop-up messages on how to play the game when we already know how.
We like this game just you need to make another one in the civil war.
Its a really good thought out game but what would take this game to the next level is a sandbox mode or something along those lines.
Love the game but.the combat system is lowkey trash. You go into a battle, you destroy every enemy unit except one officer which somehow gives the enemy 9% morale which in turn causes us to lose because we got hit ONE TIME which caused our team to go to 0% morale and when that happens you lose 35% more troops. Oh and if you go through and completely wreck the other side with no losses on your own side you somehow still wind up with 0% morale for the battle.
This game is better than 99 % more better then new games.but can you please put a sandbox in the game? 10/10 best game ever.
Always enjoyed this game it's underrated we also enjoy your other games especially heroes and castles 2 you dont make it p2w we mean youved converted some of the purchases so that some stuff requires more gold and you changed up the currency system a few years ago overall great game a lot of effort put into it ive enjoyed your games for years.
We LOVE this game so much! Ive had it for years now and Im getting back into it right now and we CANNOT wait for the new one that you guys are making! We already have it wish listed!! Although we do have some multiplayer problems, it keeps saying No players available or something along those lines, not really an issue but it would make survival SO much easier if we could play with other people.
This in our opinion is a true masterpiece, we play this game almost everyday now. We have taken a couple breaks then and there but we now realize this is a game that has or had potential since its been dead for a while now unfortunately. Nonetheless we love this game and we recommend it.
We love the battles and the different types of ammo also we loved how you guys put a lot of effort in to this game unlike all other mobile games. This game is Definitely worth your time.
This is probably the best mobile game you will ever see so we definitely recommend getting this game. Not only is it an amazing game it is also free, games like this will usually cost money.
Which war is this? It cant be the civil war because that was in the 1860s. But great game pls make other games like this one pls pls pls. Anybody who sees this download the game! NOW.
Most games look fun but this one is, and plus we love history and this will get us through long boring study halls its interesting that this game has so much fun.
This game is an absolute masterpiece of a mobile game! The graphics are phenomenal and the gameplay is magnificent. The civil war, ww1 steampunk atmosphere also adds quite a satisfactory blend. Overall 10 out of 10.
This is the best!!! We recommend you play this.
We absolutely LOVE this game! But could you guys do more updates and maybe make more units? Or maybe some map updates! Id love to play on a winter themed map! (It could cost more supplies to move men and fight the enemy maybe?) other then that we love your guys game! P.S This is the first review that Ive ever written.
The games awesome. Gameplay is phenomenal and the graphics are amazing for a mobile game. However gameplay is a bit repetitive at times. It would be AWESOME if you could control other units like your airship or your cannons, that would be a really cool feature.
The game is fun but its lacking polish. The movement is clunky its hard to aim and even for a mobile game the graphics are bad.
We like the game and all, but the gameplay is too short. Im on normal difficulty and am usually able to burn through levels really quickly. The textures could be better, but its a mobile game so who cares really.
Its the Co op survival mode. Its super laggy. Like super. But thats really all the complaints Im having now. Also needs a new weapon that is the Spencer Carbine.
The game is really good, graphics are good, controls are decent, and the story is fantastic, however, the actual units in your army are completely useless. They barely deal damage, and you are better off only getting armored units, because none of the units can actually kill anything.
Really should fix the aiming mechanism cus it keeps aiming in between the enemys and wont let us aim its already hard to aim enough.
The game starts you out with a stun gun instead of a musket which takes a lot out of the game.
Game glitched so we restarted it and was immediately hit with an ad. At that point we knew exactly what type of game this was. Don't waste your time. Potential > yes aiming > terrible realistic > far from it tutorial > too long.
Have played twice so far, and both times have gotten frustrated over the constant ads after about an hour or so and closed out.
It so good we will stay up all night and we want to ask the dev this make a other game.
1st best game is bendy and the ink machine.
We have never played a better mobile game. It absolutely rocks, 10/10, 5 stars, the whole 9 yards. As the description states, you take control of a Noblemen and fight the U.C. (United Corporations) shortly after a great plague with awesome weapons beyond their time. The game starts simple, and quickly develops. We would highly recommend this game, we cant express how much we love it.
Good game we like it because there is no game like it.
Thereeeeeeeeeee is NOTHING wrong with this game we just wish we could use the canons.
This is one of our favorite games ever, and the fact that it can successfully operate without Wi-Fi is just the cherry on top.
We did not read any of the tutorial but it SO FUN we would NEVER Delete it cause is our 3rd favorite game on our iPad Pro even though it took a day and 2 minutes to finish the tutorial we still love the game.
Love this game graphics are good and the story is awsome hope new updates come with this amazing game.
The picture quality is really good.
This is one of the best mobile games Ive played. We hope the developers will release a sequel because the last content update was a long time ago.
This game is fun both strategie and combat is needed.
This game is amazing and its easily top 3 best war strategy games that Ive ever played.
Ill play it in the car when Im bored.
Great quality for a mobile game wish there was a new game released on steam, the gameplay and setting is amazing and it we think it deserves a sequel.
We are s big revolutionary war fan so we love this game. There is just one problem we had almost every troop in the game and all the sudden one day it reset all our heros and troops.
This game is very well made, looks good, its fun, lots of content, repetitive but still engaging. The concept of the game is SUPER unique and its just great overall. What absolutely RUINS this game is its execution and how the actual battles are carried out. EVERYTHING depends on Morale, so much so that Morale DEFIES ALL REASON. There should be ZERO reason that we can ANNIHILATE an ENTIRE army and STILL LOSE because a SINGLE soldier was left alive while our army is completely INTACT. Ive had games where Ill take on two armies at once, suffer 0 losses and Ill annihilate both of them completely yet still lose because a single soldier survives with their absurd and BROKEN morale boost. Its fairly easy to win in this game if youre good at controlling your noblemen, because 60% of the time your units are useless while the enemy army gets every buff imaginable, especially the all-important MORALE buffs where they get 740% morale bonus vs your 20%. The way battles are carried out is completely illogical and makes no sense. As defined by the examples above, we shouldnt be losing a battle because a singular soldier, not a soldier unit, a SINGLE SOLDIER is left alive with morale buffs vs our entire army. The system needs to be relooked at and redone completely. Morale should give attack or defense bonuses, not become the end all be all of whether you win or lose a battle. 99% of our victories come from having to 100% annihilate the enemy army. We rarely rarely RARELY win because of morale. As a matter of fact, our morale is always close to 0% because the game gets so rigged against you after youve played for so long. It gets tiring and frustrating. UPDATE: Also what is the point of armor? We feel like armor is determined more by UNIT than actual ARMOR POINTS. Our nobleman has MORE armor than LANDSHIPS and yet we still get absolutely shredded by non-armor piercing units. The game needs to have mechanics that actually makes sense.
Not that historically accurate for civil war but is fun needs sum miner updates especially to the armys as we would want rebels and Yankees but good game.
Ive played this game for about two years now and its consistently gotten worse. The gameplay never changes, the only aspect of battle that matters are the officers. The morale implications for officers skews the gameplay to the point it has become repetitive. The global rank takes forever to increase and has no real impact on gameplay. The backup you pay for has no true involvement in the battle. You just need to keep your own nobleman from being injured, otherwise morale plummets after the first hit and the battle becomes a mayhem filled, timed speed run to try and kill their officers. There is no realistic balancing between defeat and victory in the campaign. You can end a battle having killed all the enemy officers and leave one troop standing in a formation only to have that battle come out as a stalemate. We just think some of the mechanics need to be rebalanced before much longer.
