Empire: Wargame of the Century

About

Empire: Wargame of the Century drops you into a world of strategic conquest. As a burgeoning leader, you’ll establish settlements, expand your military, and wage war across a hex-based map to claim global dominance. Each turn lets you manage resources, train units, and plan offensive or defensive maneuvers. The game balances macro management with tactical combat, requiring careful planning to outmaneuver opponents and seize control of the world. Released in late 1987, the game hit multiple platforms including DOS, Amiga, and Commodore 64, making it one of the more widely available strategy titles of its era. Though simple by today’s standards, its blend of base-building and turn-based warfare influenced later titles. Players who enjoy deep strategic thinking over flashy visuals often revisit it for its straightforward yet challenging gameplay.
