While none of the above are particular new in the genre Game of Emperors would have to be one of the first to use such a large number of these mechanics them in a single game and utilise them to maximum potential. Gameplay still comes down to what you’ve likely experience before with the assignment of villagers to your resource generating buildings you’ll gather lumber, iron, stone and gold to fuel your war machine and grow the population of your empire.

Alongside your resource population the military receives plenty of attention in both offence and defence with units ranging from the archer, infantry, cavalry, spies and siege. On defences you’ll find a range of walls, fortresses, moats and towers that can be upgraded alongside your units.
