About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

The whole world. Your nation.

The Price of Empire is a grand strategy game on the real Earth – with no historical script and no ready-made countries. Pick any free territory on the globe, give your nation a name and a color, and build it up from there: territory by territory, against up to 20 AI rivals with exactly the same plan.

A world built from real data

More than 150,000 land hexes, each about 40 km across, with real elevation, climate zones, forests, rivers and lakes

Mountains, deserts, rainforest and tundra decide where your armies advance quickly – and where they don't

A freely rotating 3D map that wraps around the whole planet from east to west

Territories ignore today's borders – the world is up for grabs

Every empire has its price

Each new territory brings land, resources and room for cities – and costs administration. The larger your realm, the faster those costs climb. Grow too fast and you will soon lack the money to pay your troops. An empire has to be paid for.

Economy

Produce wood, iron, coal and oil, grow cities through five stages, build mines and harbors

A world market with shifting prices: buying drives the price up, selling drives it down

Research in six branches – from mining to armored warfare and reconnaissance

War

Eight unit types: infantry, motorized infantry, artillery, anti-tank, light, medium and heavy tanks, reconnaissance

Battles are decided by strength, morale and supply – terrain and rivers favor the defender, and whoever breaks is wiped out

Supply lines, fortifications and sieges

Ship your troops across the sea from your harbors

Fog of war: what you haven't explored, you can't see

Diplomacy

Defensive alliances, non-aggression pacts, rights of passage and supply contracts

AI rivals on four levels from Easy to Hardcore – from Normal up, each with its own character: conqueror, builder or balanced

Play together

Multiplayer for up to 4 players via Steam or LAN, alongside AI rivals

Save a match together and continue it later

Also

Three victory conditions – hold territories, conquer nations or score points – or an open game without an end

A guided start for your first match and a detailed in-game manual

Photo mode with time of day and depth of field

Fully playable in English and German
