About Empire: Wargame of the Century

Empire: Wargame of the Century is a strategy title where players aim for global domination. Victory is achieved by militarily defeating all rivals to take control of the world map.

Gameplay revolves around cities, which serve as production centers for military forces. These forces are then deployed to capture additional cities, creating a cycle of expansion. The selection of eight unit types, covering air, land, and sea roles, is offset by their distinct tactical capabilities. This design may particularly interest those familiar with abstract strategy and board-based conquest games.
