A clever mix of strategy and action, Great Invasions plunges you back into Europe of the Dark Ages, a time in history where hundreds of nations and barbarian tribes rush to assault the civilized world, from AD 375 (arrival of the Huns) to AD 1066 (conquest of England by the Normans).

Each participant will have the option and the heavy task to lead up to 10 different states simultaneously. Players will bid on new races to take their control and launch migrations, invasions and wars, from the reign of Attila’s Huns to the time of the bloody Vikings raids; all the while trying to forestall the decadence and fall of their other most advanced and civilized states.

The game also covers the spread of Christianity, as well as the birth and lightning expansion of Islam. Original and varied, this strategic quest is played in real time. YOU must demonstrate your leadership and visionary qualities to bring your people to the dawn of the Middle Ages.
