Mighty and true is your hand. Leading your people to prosperity, uniting the land and vanquishing the dangerous beings that roam it is a constant concern to ensure your realm endures the test of time in Crazy Monkey Studios' EMPIRE.

 

 

EMPIRE introduces the world's first "Deck-Building 4X Strategy Game". EMPIRE is a quick, easy-to-learn yet difficult to master strategy/tactics game.

 

 

The barbarous tribes who fought amongst themselves for so many aeons are at last able to come together to found a wondrous civilization.

 

 

The world is full of terrible horrors, however, and they will wear away at your Empire from all sides. Natural resources have become more scarce. And perhaps worst of all, your powerful Empire has grown heavy and full of internal strife with its age. How long can you stand the pressures of survival before your Empire finally comes crumbling back down into the desolated earth from which it grew?

 

 

 

The governing features:

 

 

 

• Choose from 3 unique emperors to play, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

• Procedurally generated worlds mean that no two games will be alike. Will you find valuable mountains to mine military materials from? Food-rich forests that will grow your Empire quickly?

• A unique take on the deck building mechanism similar to those in Dominion, Puzzle Strike or Ascension. Your deck grows during the game, and it fills with both useful Action Cards, powerful Spell Cards, -- and also totally useless Strife Cards. Managing your deck is an important part of staying strong!

• Dozens of interesting tactical cards featuring excellent art from concept artist Gilles Ketting.

• A unique grid based tactical combat system. Use your Action and Spell cards to get the upper hand and destroy the enemy forces!

• Unlike traditional 4X strategy games which not only take hours, but tend to become slow and boring late game, EMPIRE is a quick, elegant knife-fight of a game.

 

 

 

As promised by the developers the game continues to be refined and improved, with version 1.2 having been made available a short while ago and a major 1.3 update reportedly planned for January of 2014.

 

 

Having been originally released back in October, the game is currently available for PC at GamersGate.

As far as news posts go, they are all either strategy or tactics. The game this topic belongs is undoubtedly a strategy game so I really don't understand your concern.

 

The only difference from the past I can notice is that Thor finds a multitude of games nobody would hear about here otherwise. Which... is good, right?

I think that is the issue of SGCSG1, that Thor post about every strategy game that even barely can be called strategy and contains nothing out of the ordinary in current gaming era and there are practically no topics that gets people interested about strategy game except the nightly updates on TFTD extender and some people drop in asking questions about Altars UFO section where the questions where probably answered way back then and nobody cares about those games anymore.
