About Empire Architect

Empire Architect is an ancient city-building real time strategy game, with elements from grand strategies sprinkled in for good measure. The Campaign is set in the historical Roman empire, and Custom game levels are procedurally generated. You have limited control over your subjects therefore your main focus is to build your city, manage resources, appease the gods, educate you people, keep your people happy, and deal with events as the happen all while your rivals try their best to take you out! Defend yourself and fight back with all you might!

Features:

  • Take control of an ancient culture (So far only Rome, but I would love to add more if possible).
  • Have your people gather resources and produce ever more complex goods with them.
  • Appease the gods through the religion system, or feel their wrath if you ignore them.
  • Educate your people in order to take on better jobs.
  • Entertain the masses through the entertainment system or risk them causing trouble in your city.
  • Distribute water throughout your city with the water system.
  • Keep your people healthy with the health system.
  • Open Trade routes and trade both domestically and abroad.
  • Research upgrades in the tech trees.
  • Battle the very elements themselves in our custom Weather System.
  • Build on Procedurally Generated custom maps.
  • Do battle in the 12 level Historical Campaign.

Not all that good. The game lacks any kind of character and also is not that fun to play. Can't really recommend it.

Nothing new, and got abandoned

The developers never delivered on their promises with this one. It's extremely amateurish, and feels more like a college final exam than a commercial product.

Good city simple builder with production chains and combat

Not great. It's so much like Ceasar 3/ Pharoah that you should just buy those games. This doesn't add ANYTHING new, has less content, has many less options and is not nearly as optimized as the previously mentioned games. Not a good buy.
