In this medieval real-time strategy game, you lead a civilization on procedurally generated maps. Develop a settlement and outmaneuver rival forces in matches against AI opponents or other players.
Villagers gather Food, Wood, Gold, and Stone to support economic and military buildings. Expand your economy, train units such as spearmen, archers, knights, and catapults, and use heroes to lead your forces.
Civilizations have distinct units and abilities, shaping how you plan each match. You can trade with allies and collect relics for bonuses, then play Skirmish, Survival, or Challenge modes against AI, or join Ranked and Custom online matches.
Players who enjoy Empires Apart often praise its distinct civilizations, brisk classic RTS matches, and the mix of economic planning and combat. Some also value playing with friends and the free Byzantine faction. Reviews are mixed on the overall experience, with recurring concerns about launch or crash problems, limited content and paid extra civilizations, and the quality of AI or multiplayer availability.
