Oriental Empires

Obviously, the player is not the only one willing to become the emperor, thus it is necessary to subjugate other parties, which can be done either by force or diplomacy. The game offers 16 factions in total - each has its unique features and at the beginning, the player has to choose one of those and become its leader. All of this takes place on an extensive map that recreates the geographical features of China and Mongolia with accuracy.

When playing Oriental Empires for PC, one cannot avoid wars. Battles are impressive in of their scope, for instance, thousands of units can take part in one such encounter. The player does not command clones here, because the creators managed to differentiate separate squads by highlighting differences in faces and clothings. Battles are turn-based and take place on the same map which is used when taking care of running the empire. Direct control over armies was greatly reduced here - the player gives general orders and decides about formations. Then the game generates the battle on the basis of the player's decisions, who's only task then is to observe the course of the battle ively.
