Empires

Empires combines first-person shooter combat with real-time strategy. You fight for either the Northern Faction, remnants of the fallen nation of Jekotia, or the imperial Brenodi Empire.

Infantry and squads

Choose from four infantry classes, each with customizable skills. Scouts can prepare surprise attacks, riflemen take on enemies head-on, grenadiers counter enemy tanks and engineers support the team. Players can form squads, with squad leaders directing members and using powers such as reviving dead squad members or calling in artillery strikes on the enemy.

Vehicles and command

Empires has six vehicle types, including three levels of tanks. You can customize vehicle weapons, armor and engines, and use vehicles such as the Armored Personnel Carrier to transport troops or the Artillery tank to attack enemies.

Players who prefer real-time strategy can take the commander role. The commander places buildings, builds defensive turrets, constructs vehicles and conducts research to lead the team.

Maps

The game includes 15 official maps and dozens of community-created maps.
