Empire Architect

Empire Architect is an ancient city-building real-time strategy game with elements of grand strategy. In its historical Roman campaign and procedurally generated custom levels, you build a city, manage resources and respond to events while rival powers try to defeat you. Your control over your subjects is limited, so you must also keep them happy, educate them, appease the gods and defend your city.

Build and manage your city

You lead the Roman culture and direct your people to gather resources and turn them into increasingly complex goods. Educating citizens qualifies them for better jobs, while entertainment helps keep them from causing trouble. You distribute water, maintain public health and open trade routes for domestic and overseas trade. Research in technology trees unlocks upgrades, and the custom weather system brings the elements into play.

Religion and defence

The religion system lets you appease the gods; if you neglect them, you may face their wrath. Rivals threaten your city, so you must defend it and fight back.

Campaign and custom maps

The Historical Campaign has 12 levels set in the Roman Empire. Custom game levels use procedurally generated maps.
