Wild Guns is an online browser MMO strategy game set in the old west. Players build towns, armies, and attempt to conquer each other on the game map.

Wild Guns Introduction

If you have ever played browser MMO games like Evony or Ikariam then Wild Guns will be familiar to you. It features the same empire building and combat themes that most strategy browser games have.

In Wild Guns you can play as Cowboys, Indians, or Mexicans and each faction has its own distinct military units. You start the game with just a small village and through the game play you develop a powerful town and army to defend it. Each faction also has a special ability, the Cowboys have a resource bonus, the Indians can reduce the effect of enemy hideouts, and the Mexicans can queue up one more building for production.

The game is very easy to play with a nice tutorial at the beginning that will take the player through the first basic steps such as resource gathering and military unit creation. You will receive some resources for completing these basic quests and once they are done you are on your own to develop your town. Each new player to the game gets a seven day protection period to build up a defense and army.

Resources Are Key In Wild Guns

Like most MMO browser style games, resources play a key role in Wild Guns. You have food, wood, clay, and iron that must be developed so your town can thrive. Food is the most important resource and is required to build units and support upgrades to your buildings. Your resource fields are found on the outside of your town and each upgrade level is numbered so you can see what level you are at. You can only build one structure at a time in your town or resource fields.

Wild Guns Structures

The game features three different types of structures you can build. First you have your production structures such as mines and farms. You can also build bonus production buildings once you reach a higher level such as a bakery and sawmill that will increase the production rates. You have your infrastructure buildings such as your marketplace, storage, granary, hideout, and embassy. These buildings improve the storage and economy of your town. The embassy will allow you to join a clan and play with other people, or form your own team. Your military buildings include your barracks, stables, assembly point, tavern, and walls. The tavern produces whiskey which can help improve the loyalty of your town citizens.

RE: Review: Browser MMO Game: Wild Guns
Just pointing it out, but Wild Guns (copyrighted in 2008) is a total ripoff of Travian (copyrighted in 2004). The tribes are almost identical in all but name, the resources are the same, the game mechanics are identical... Wild Guns is little more than a graphical switch of Travian with a very small number of changed features.
