Empires in Ruins whole plot-driven campaign of turn based strategy and empire building, is managed in the main map. Through it you will access the single combat maps (according to the plot flow or in order to defend/replay maps), manage diplomacy and access the single province to improve or check their assets and governors.

• Expand, fortify and expand further taking advantage of the conquered provinces reach and infrastructures.
• Improve the regions' production, increase the flow of resources to fund your brutal military campaign. Don't expect much help from above.
• Handle diplomacy - Like a bull in a china shop.
• Assign trusted men to govern the regions. Expect betrayals or hang them before that.
• Manage research - More than 100 technologies to research.

Battles are fought in real time, using a hybrid of Tower Defense and RTS mechanics.
