Eight Empires: Civilizations

Turn one small village into an ancient empire. Anytime, anywhere, no internet needed.

Eight Empires is a single-player strategy game in the spirit of the classic browser village builders. Upgrade your resource fields, plan your builds, train an army and raid the villages around you. Every rival on the map is an AI ruler with a name, a personality and plans of their own. They farm, trade, hold grudges, and they will come for your granary if your walls are low.

CHOOSE YOUR CIVILIZATION
Lead one of 8 ancient civilizations, each with its own buildings, troops, hero, village art and map icon:
• Romans: Legionnaires, Praetorians and Equites, led by a Consul
• Egyptians: Spearmen, Archers and Chariots, led by a Pharaoh
• Vikings: Raiders, Shieldmen and Berserkers, led by a Jarl
• Ottomans: Janissaries, Archers and Sipahis, led by a Sultan
• Greeks: Hoplites, Peltasts and Hippeis, led by a Strategos
• Persians: Immortals, Archers and Cataphracts, led by a Shah
• Chinese: Halberdiers, Crossbowmen and Cavalry, led by a General
• Mongols: Horse archers, Lancers and Heavy cavalry, led by a Khan
The rules are equal for every civilization, so pick the people you love, not the ones a chart tells you to.

BUILD YOUR VILLAGE
• Woodcutters, clay pits, iron mines and croplands produce resources every minute
• Real build timers: main building, warehouse, granary, barracks, marketplace, academy, embassy, spy tower, temple and wall, up to level 10
• Buildings change as they grow, from a small settlement to a grand city
• Storage fills up while you are away, so come back, spend it and keep growing
• Watch an optional video for an extra builder for 24 hours and run two upgrades at once

RAID, SPY AND DEFEND
• Send troops to raid AI neighbours. Armies march in real time and bring the loot home
• Train spies in the spy tower to see troops and stored resources before you strike
• Incoming attacks show a countdown, so you can raise your walls and train defenders
• Sleep shield: pick your night hours and no attack lands while you sleep
• Got raided? Your attacker becomes your rival. Take revenge for bonus loot

TRADE AND DIPLOMACY
• Sign timed trade deals at the embassy and swap resources at the marketplace
• Accept or refuse trade offers, non-aggression pacts and tribute demands
• Every ruler remembers how you treated them, and so does their next offer

HERO ADVENTURES AND WEEKLY EVENTS
• Send your hero on adventures that appear on the map, with difficulty and travel time shown up front
• Bring back resources, experience and rare items; spend hero points on production or attack
• Weekly world events: Harvest Festival, Barbarian Raids and the Merchant Caravan

GOALS EVERY DAY
• 15 starter quests that teach the game step by step, plus fresh short goals every session
• A 7-day login gift calendar
• Climb the population ranking for a weekly rank reward

A WORLD THAT KEEPS MOVING
AI rivals keep playing while you are gone. They sleep in their own time zones, make mistakes, grow, give up, and others arrive to take their place. When you return, a "While you were away" report shows what happened. Start a fresh world whenever you like, or choose a peaceful world where nobody attacks you.

FAIR BY DESIGN: NO PAY-TO-WIN
• A full offline strategy game: single player, no account, no internet needed
• Power is never for sale. Optional videos speed up a build or double a reward
• No energy bar, no loot boxes, no in-app purchases
• Speed the game up to 4x when you want a faster session
