Inspiration
K3 may be inspired by the mountains in the Karakoram mountain range which includes mountains originally named K1 to K5. K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth after Mount Everest.
Also a possible reference to "K-3" a mining planet in the movie "Serenity" created by Joss Whedon.
Many of the goblin defenses are reminiscent of the game Team Fortress 2 by Valve. These include sentry guns, demolition bombs, sappers (although in this case they are people and not devices), and teleporters.
