A browser-based massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game set in the medieval ages with cartoon-style graphics, resource gathering, base building, and strategic combat.
World of Empires is a popular free-to-play browser-based MMORTS (massively multiplayer online real-time strategy) game set in a medieval fantasy world. Players begin with a small village and are tasked with building it into a mighty empire by gathering resources, constructing buildings, raising armies, researching technologies, and conquering nearby territories.
Gameplay revolves around building up your capital city, training units, and sending those units into battle against NPCs (non-player characters) like bandits, wild animals, and barbarians or against other players. There is a heavy focus on alliance gameplay, allowing players to band together into player-formed alliances for protection, trading of resources, and conquering enemy alliances.
Battles occur in real-time with the player acting as the general, ordering around their troops on the battlefield. Victory goes to those with the larger armies and better tactics. Players must balance economic development, technological research, diplomacy, and military power in order to succeed.
The graphics utilize a bright and colorful 2D cartoon art style, bringing the medieval world to life. Environments range from dense forests and open fields to exotic deserts and snowy mountain peaks. The soundtrack matches the medieval setting with lute music and drum beats. Overall, World of Empires provides a solid, casual-friendly strategic experience for those looking to rule their own online kingdom.
