What Makes March of Empires: Strategy MMO Stand Out
Brace yourself for an age of massive medieval war, where you will march over your rivals’ burning remains in an all-out quest to conquer!
Fortify your castle, forge an army and enter the ultimate MMO of global domination! But as your civilisation grows, you’ll clash with ambitious powers, and only one king can claim the throne! Do you have the strength to unify the land under your banner? Or will you watch your kingdom crumble before you?
◉ A KINGDOM IN YOUR HANDS
• Dispatch armies, construct buildings, clash with barbarians, conquer territories and reshape the balance of power every day.
• Every inch of your realm comes to life with amazingly detailed graphics
◉ CHOOSE YOUR FACTION
• Choose to be a Shogun, a Highland King, a Northern Tsar or a Desert Sultan.
• Each army has a special advantage that emphasises a unique playstyle, whether you prefer to quickly build up your kingdom, strike with charging knights or fiercely defend your civilisation from invasion.
◉ TERRITORIAL DOMINATION
• Clash and conquer to grow your global influence daily.
• Unlock special powers and bonuses as more lands fall to your army.
• Fortify your defences to ward off enemy invasions.
• Fight your way to the throne to become High King over the entire realm!
◉ FORGE A CHAMPION
• Choose a unique Champion – ranging from those as noble as knights or as merciless as Vikings – to lead your army and help build your kingdom.
• Find and craft equipment to boost your Champion’s skills.
• Command heroes and adventurers to set off on quests for treasures that will pave your path to the throne.
◉ BUILD A THRIVING NATION
• Build regional structures that you and your many allies can benefit from.
• Establish thriving Trade Centres, forge sacred Temples, and clash over Stockpiles of treasure.
◉ TACTICAL MMO WARFARE
• A wise king chooses battle formations carefully! Cunning tactics hold more power than massive numbers.
• Time your commands wisely to take advantage of the ever-changing seasons.
◉ COMMAND A GLOBAL ALLIANCE
• The Alliance management system makes it easy to organise with allies.
• Intrigue will pave your path to the throne as you craft schemes with other Alliances. In this MMO world, there’s as much to gain from helping as there is from betraying.
• Chat with players to forge friendships or verbally clash with rivals.
◉ CLAIM THE SEATS OF POWER
• Capture the five highly fortified castles that hold the Seat of Domain, Seat of Heroes, Seat of War, Seat of Order and Seat of Accord.
• Each Seat grants its controlling Alliance unique perks and the ability to propose world-changing Policies.
• Every player can take part, as all Policies are voted on by the entire Realm’s player population!
• Enter a new level of diplomacy and intrigue as your Alliance must negotiate with rivals, and players at large, in order to win the votes needed to pass the Policies you want.
• At the centre of it all lies the Throne of Might, which only one player may rule to wield the greatest power of all!
Five castles hold the crucial thrones, each possessing a unique influence over the entire realm that only one Alliance can hold.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a great game and easy to learn.
A good game to keep you occupied and keeping the mind sharp.
Good strategy game. However, you have to pay to play to be any good.
Muy bien les qued perfecto gracias.
Game constantly freezes and wont load for days making you lose all your progress.
Recent update to unreal engines is terrible cant even do simple task now like accept the daily urn cause it wont process us hitting collect.
Game has not worked for us since the Unreal update.
This game has always been one of our favorites, but the devs seem to be doing everything possible to self destruct the game. The new unreal engine ruined the games once great graphics, and the new engine also caused daily server crashes and downtime. They also managed to make it impossible to type anything on phones. Please change back to the old servers gameloft.
Ive been playing this since it started. From great game to totally broken ups and downs over and over. When it works (they find destroy it by fixing it) its been a fun game with many hours spent with constant new friends where unbelievable bonds have formed with people we will never meet in real life. When it doesnt work its a constant aggression and stress hardly worth having. So.. You the customer decide.
Yes a great game yall should play it called issues for nationstates where you make your own nation, you are the head of state, you can choose whatever governments you rule, and you make policy decisions for your own nation so download and play issues for nationstates.
Over the years, this game has been a blast, but recently they have lost track of how to take care of their loyal players. The game more frequently freeze up and lockout due to server error and nothing that has to do with the user end. This causes gaps in time whenever the user cannot access the game due to the server being down. If your shield happens to fail during one of those server downtimes, and youre at work or some other way occupied that you cannot get back to the game as soon as the server comes back up, you lose everything that youve worked for for years and Gameloft does not care.
Buenos grficos y es interesante.
Great game been playing for along time we enjoy meeting new people from all over the world.
The game is awesome, glad we have started playing again. Just need a way to clear all the abandoned castles off the map. There are so many of them that they have filled entire regions completely. Get rid of them. Other than that really good game.
Bring your credit card You can still play and have fun without one though.
Could be better without the cheating and scammers. Lots of bugs and small details to make and improve. We enjoy this time waster and want you all to do better and keep going.
We really like this game. Its got a few problems but what game doesnt. Over all very fun. Have been playing it for at least eight or nine years now and it one of our favorites. Give it a try.
We like this game. However our biggest complaint is that we want to be able to zoom out more. About 45-50% more for easier searching across the map. Id also like if there were help guides with better information. For example, what the heck is a smithereen? How often do relics respawn in the relic event? How often do animal hunt locations refill with goods? Those are always barren.
Im glad, we found a common sense to stop playing. It might be a good game if you are in the hospital and you cant do physically any activities. It Is design to lure you back and only think about it 24 hours.
We enjoy the jousting parts the most but the rest of the game isnt bad we wish you could still play rival knights alone though since we enjoy the jousting the most.
We have been playing for years now yes you can spend if you can afford. But not necessarily important Game loft gives many free things and the people you meet from all over the world is the best part many friendships are made here.just play slow and easy and spend what you can afford.many people here to help newcomers.
Great layout and development by the creators. Really dont play anymore because more work than something we want to be tied to. Your server/world becomes lopsided by the stronger players. You become a trapped slave in an unbalanced world where you have to constantly ours for food based on your troop size; need it for advancement for everything. You can run food down to zero without harm to troops. GET RID OF CONSTANT REDUCTION MAKES GAME UNENJOYABLE AND UNSUSTAINABLE LONG TERM. We would also change the time period when attacking others. Narrow it down so not a constant stressful game feel day to day; much better for server against other server where open warfare for a few days but your server can focus against another and not constantly feeding on itself. Good luck; hopefully you remember to put you 1 day or 3 day shield up constantly or you come back to nothing but a work grind.
Better ways to get silver medallions in the game.
Spend or play for free, either way its a great game experience.
There are still a few major issues. The cost for packs is way lower in countries like Turkey and Russia. Use a VPN it youre American otherwise youll never be able to keep up. There are always people who thrive on attacking people without shields and players who dont care about realm vs realm wars will still attack people in their own realm who are trying to retake capitals or fight the enemy.
We want to start over, but it seems impossible to delete our account and start over. If gameloft wants our money we need to be able to start fresh.
Love the updates yall did, we played this at the beginning Zander until we lost our account, keep up the good work.
There is so much to this game. The new events and all the other players make so much more than you would ever expect. It is an absolutely amazing game that you will love from the time you start playing. Support is by far the best we have ever encountered. They listen and help more than you would believe. Can not say enough about how much this game truly is, you have got to try it out.
Sorry to tell you, but ever since your last update and then the so called hot fixes your game is worse than ever before. Loading issues, server crashes, live chat not loading, etc. We hope you find a solution that works for everyone.
We have been these last 7 o r 8 years.fun game some Awesome people and players here.How ever you can spend a lot of money.Just be careful.And game loft gives a lot of free stuff other games do not.And if a bug they fix it and send more free things.Enjoy this game and the fellowship it brings.
This is an addicting game Ive been on everyday for 2 months since Ive started. Theres so much to do and keep you playing always unlocking and growing. We did not expect to get hooked on this game we found out about it from a history YouTube channel it was advertised on and its the BEST a must play.
Play game almost 4 years they go ban us after $2000 buying packs over the time playing game it has glitched every update if play you can not buy enough packs to keep up with bots player we dont use bots we dont cheat we dont mistreat people and was ambassador for the game at one time with facebook and many post for game we say after stealing our money dont play game rip this game Kingbrad of 425 realm we started in308 merge 362 merger to 425 now.
Very saddened to see yet another story. You need to understand the internet age means. If anyone wants to learn about history they simply need to search and read. Writing 5 paragraphs (yes we are being generous) and having people read them over 5 hours (not an exaggeration) is not a game. It is dull. No one wants to tap the screen every 5 minutes for 3 hours (no exaggeration here) and read what is maybe 4 lines of your script in 3 hours!!! Horrible. We see new mini game is coming, if it is yet another mini game marketed for the European market then it is another fail. Tournament, Gladiators, and Tug of War are all when Americans are working or sleeping. Atlantis is only for players who buy resources from Turkish or Syrian resource sellers, becaue there is no way with you game mechanics that it is possible to do it monthly if you do not buy resources from someone. And have you not taken notice that for the last 3 years players are doing patronage parties because it is a better use of their time in game than actually playing your game as mechanics? Learn from your mistakes already and make it better. Players prefer their free form moments and not your over engineer mechanics that justify your jobs.
We are in kingdom 487, in which there are 3 players using illegal bots, selling and buying resources and insulting players in the global chat, we have filed our complaint several times providing video and photo evidence in which you can see how those players cheat, those players are (SoS.) from SOS alliance,(Kh@leesi.) from LOL alliance, (Kaiserzone) from SOS alliance. All of them recorded and photographed using the simon bot, apart from the fact that they talk about pornography and suicide in the global chat. In a game in which there are minors. You should intervene. More than 100 players have submitted complaints and evidence and the customer service does not respond and when it does respond, it only asks for more evidence. It seems that they are in cahoots with them! Help us.
We use gold and rss and money to train they ban us and give a player his troops back which he lost in a battle thats biggest scam they ban us for no reason and not ban who use bots and cheats they prefer who pays for their pockets biggest scammers !!!! , they delete our comments on Facebook and block us when we complain or send proofs of what they do.
Will ban paying members for no reason at all. Customer service is a joke and cannot get any legitimate responses.
Why is it when you open the game, a rating screen appears, if you dismiss it you keep gaming, but if you decide to give a rating, it then redirects to GL Customer Service page Why? Why is it impossible to give a rating and keep gaming? Why the need for redirect to a page that does not allow a quick rating to be given? Why the noise.
The game could use more active developers within the community yes it is active but it can be better we would love to see more active realms and more players we love this game and plan to keep playing we hope game loft sees this love your game.
Gameloft has completely lost control of its own game. Every established Realm is just a bunch of addicts all trying to out-cheat each other. Entire alliances of nothing but farms and resource banks. Gameloft either cant clean up the mess or doesnt really want to. We imagine its mostly the latter; the game after all is a business, its designed to make money, and eliminating all the cheaters would eliminate all the money (since literally everyone is cheating, especially the top players/spenders). If Gameloft really wanted to clean up its game it would do three things: 1. Remove all the cheater accounts: the bots, the farms, the resource banks. 2. Remove/suspend all the deads. The deads are an eyesore anyway, it makes any established Realm look like complete trash. Just suspend accounts that havent been accessed in a certain length of time (a month, 6 weeks, 3 months something reasonable). The accounts are removed from play unless the players contact support and confirm renewed interest. 3. Stop allowing new accounts to transfer to established Realms after a reasonable length of time. These arent new players wanting to play with their friends; theyre established players wanting to add more cheater accounts. We always laugh whenever some representative of the game makes a statement on YouTube or FB about how seriously the developers take cheating!!! Oh please. If they did, they wouldnt have let things get so bad in the first place. Again, the cheating is so pervasive that everyone is forced to try to out-cheat one another to stay competitive. Have you ever contacted customer service within the game to report cheating? Laughable. Customer service agents dont actually talk to you; rather, they just copy and paste scripted statements, and then ultimately no action is taken. Again, Gameloft doesnt really want to clean up the mess because most of the mess is the result of the biggest cheaters and the biggest cheaters spend most of the money. How healthy can these top players/spenders be that they would create/manage/play dozens of extra accounts to succeed in a game that offers no monetary rewards for achievement? Its psychotic behavior to say the least. By not targeting and eliminating so much unhealthy behavior in its game Gameloft is indirectly encouraging it. Its overdosing its users with an addictive product and watching the profits roll in as lives are heavily degraded. The bottom line is that all the cheating makes the game absolutely worthless. And the cheating is never going to disappear, its only going to keep getting worse. March of Cheaters is an absolute waste of time. Do yourself a favor, dont play. **** Response to Developers Response **** Rest assured that the developers response was copied and pasted from a script drafted a very long time ago. Which is why it sounds so stale and completely misses the mark. Rest assured the problem with the game isnt vulnerabilities in its code its vulnerabilities in the integrity of the games owners and developers. The cheating will continue. It has to. Its like a cancerous growth wrapped around a spinal column. Its so pervasive and so intimately tied to spending that Gameloft cant afford to cut it out.
Hangs @ 74% for the last 3-4 days fix.
Update of Greediness , they was saying that this update will not affect the real players who do not use camp bots, and instead they will have an energy bar which you can hit certain amount of camps per day. They putting nee packs so you can hit more camps :D :D:D guys DONT START PLAYING this game.
Learn how to detect and punish those who use bots instead of punishing real players, you lazy twits. This rumored update will make a game we enjoy incredibly lame. Dont expect any pack purchases from us or anyone we play with if this happens.
Please if you want get away from bots not like this destroying the camps to all who will play your game.
If you are planning to play the game free to play, dont bother lol. Simple impossible.
There is no reset in the game. So dont even try to jump in. No sense. Youll be a little frog in the middle of the highway.
100% pay to win, if you arent willing to spend hundreds of dollars you might as well not even download it! Love the idea, but pay to win games are the worst.
We have been playing the game for 4 years. Last month, we lost access to our account. We create another account to communicate with their customer service. They have been telling us that they are working on the situation since then. But all of the sudden, our second account got banned for cheating! Either GameLoft is messed up or corrupted. Maybe they got tired of our complains.
Christmas time of all the times for a game developer to choose to rip off its loyal players first they released 60th update which you cant do anything with for months unless you spend hard earned cash. Second they do promotional lottery for Christmas special and everyone in game spends gold they have been saving up to profit on the special lottery instead the drop rate on the lottery was so low no one was rewarded with gold or wood resource. And then the best part instead of making an apology to its loyal supporters they just give back some lottery tickets and stay completely silent about the entire thing. Pathetic Gameloft.
This game has no real merits to winning unless you want to pay Gameloft lots of money. Even when you do, they come up with new exciting versions with features that really is their way of putting back your progress so you will have to pay more. Oh, when you do come up to having a conflict with a player who did drop a lot of cash, you get completely screwed while the other doesnt even lose any soldiers. Just a complete scam, dont waste your time our money on it.
Im the last year, game loft has become more aggressively a spend only game. Today was the last straw with the lottery that was rigged to not give any gold. People spent 10-20M gold on tickets and got nothing in return. That is $20,000 worth of gold. Game loft should be sued and investigated by apple for scamming.
