Tiny Empire: Castle Defense

Raiders are already on the road. Drop a tower, hold the gate, then build the town that pays for the next fight.

Tiny Empire is an idle empire builder and a tower-defense game in one. Build your town, research upgrades, train an army, and hold your fortress gate against everything the wilds send at you. Your empire keeps producing while you're away, and it all plays offline.

WHY PLAYERS KEEP IT
• Two minutes or two hours: set the economy running and come back to a fuller treasury, or sit down and route a whole siege
• No signal needed and no account to make
• Free to download, with optional in-app purchases and ads

HOLD THE GATE
• Camps, campaign and Endless Siege are all tower defense: build towers along a winding lane, upgrade them mid-fight, repair the gate between waves, and unleash the Hero Strike when the boss walks in
• The army you train fights beside your towers: Soldiers, Pikemen, Archers and Cavalry, deployed by you before each fight
• A leveling Commander with a skill tree

RULE 8 ERAS
• Advance from the Stone Age through Castle, Gunpowder, Discovery, Industrial and Modern — into a neon-lit Information city and a starlit Space colony
• Every era transforms your whole town: buildings, walls, units, even the sky
• Offline earnings: your empire keeps producing while you're gone

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE
• Place and upgrade Gold Mines, Sawmills, Farms, Quarries, Storehouses, Barracks and your Town Hall
• A living base — waving banners, chimney smoke, a shimmering moat, grazing sheep
• Research tree, resource market, idle expeditions, daily quests, and kingdom events like Golden Hour (+15% production and loot for the day)

EXPLORE THE WILDERNESS
• Pan past your walls: forests, wild deer and boar, berry bushes, gold and stone deposits
• Rebel camps dot the wilds — tap one to raid it
• A minimap tracks your town, your resources, and every camp

COMMAND A REAL ARMY
• Eight troop types to train — Soldiers, Pikemen, Archers, Cavalry, Catapults, Skirmishers, Scout Cavalry and Priests — every one of them adding to your company's strength in the Arena
• Four of them take the field beside your towers: Soldiers, Pikemen, Archers and Cavalry
• Units earn veterancy the longer they survive

MARCH THE CAMPAIGN
• 24 campaign levels across three regions, each a longer siege than the last — from the Bandit Camp to the Ember Throne
• Endless Siege: hold as long as you can, beat your best wave, and get paid gold and gems for the run

CLIMB THE ARENA
Five ranked battles a day against rival companies, from Raw Recruits to the Grandmaster's Host. Every win moves your rating - climb from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond to Grandmaster. Seasons close every two weeks and pay gems for the tier you finish at.

AN EMPIRE TO GROW
• Chief levels, achievements, battle pass, unit veterancy, login streaks
• Prestige: rebirth for permanent, stacking empire bonuses
