Empire Rising will allow players to forge an empire of their very own as one of four factions: the English, French, Ottomans, or Prussians.

A crafting system adds to the RPG elements which allow players to level up and equip Generals to lead their armies to colonize or destroy other players’ budding empires.

Empire Rising, set in 15th century Europe, sets itself apart from the various other free-to-play browser based games with a compelling age advancement system which will allow players to see their city change and grow as they reach important milestones and will encourage server-wide cooperation to open new Ages. An actual map of Europe with notable capital cities like Lisbon and Paris adds a touch of the real world to the game experience. Empire Rising’s tutorial and guided quest features will make the game accessible to players new to the genre and veterans alike.

Ndoors announced that it will officially launch Empire Rising on October 10, 2011. Players can sign up now for free.

To celebrate Empire Rising’s launch, Ndoors will be hosting a variety of events and giving away two iPad 2’s and a variety of in-game items! To earn these prizes the game’s early adopters will participate in three tension filled launch events:

1. In the Power Event, players will earn Event Medals simply by playing the game. These medals will be used to purchase in-game items or in a lottery to win an iPad 2! 
2. The Top Warlord Competition encourages players to engage in battle; the top 100 ranked players receiving in-game, military items. The #1 ranked player will also win an iPad 2!
3. Community is key, The Star Alliance event will encourage players to band together to form the strongest alliance. The members of the top three alliances will receive in-game items.

Ndoors would also like to send a very special thank you out to all those who participated in the Empire Rising CBT. The comments and enthusiasm of those players helped the development team to push through to launch and put a final touch of polish on the game.
