Empires

Set in the 18th Century, players in Empires represent colonial European nations, like Russia, Great Britain, Spain, and France, competing to expand their empires by gaining the most support. Support is won by supplying your people with goods; goods are produced when your people work in your territories. But, to gain people, territories, goods, and supporters you must win wars - and to win a war, you need to raise an army! And that requires gold, which can be earned by selling goods and, of course, winning wars.
