In Forge Of Empires players will have the chance to build and lead an entire empire through the centuries and write the history of mankind. Build structures typical of the epoch. Enlarge your sphere of influence through military campaigns and skillful dealings. With a powerful army and the right tactics, you will subjugate your enemies and forge a vast empire.

The Flash-Based 3D Graphics of the game are based on a naturalistic style, and present players an accurate and believable world by focusing on details and remaining close to reality.

The German beta will begin on April 19; other language versions, including French, Dutch and Polish will soon follow.

Particularly the graphical quality, as well as variety and depth of the gameplay, were received positively. 100,000 players pre-registered for the start of the open beta thus far.
