How to Play

Master the art of empire building in 6 simple steps

1

Start Your Journey

Press Play Now. If you are signed in to TechTools you go straight into the game, otherwise use Fast Registration, Login or Register. Every new empire starts with one territory, 10 soldiers, 100 wood, 100 stone and 50 gold.

2

Gather Resources

Build a sawmill, a quarry and a mine on your land. They produce wood, stone and gold every second, and every 60 seconds you can also claim 50 wood, 50 stone and 25 gold for free.

3

Expand Territory

Click a free tile next to your land to claim it. You need at least 5 units, and each new tile costs a little more wood, stone and gold than the one before.

4

Build Your Army

Build one barracks, then train soldiers, archers and cavalry with gold. Every barracks level adds 10% to your army power.

5

Engage in Battle

Move your army to the edge of your land, then attack an enemy tile next to it. The side with more power wins, and the loser loses its whole army.

6

Climb the Leaderboards

Three leaderboards rank the top 10 players by total resources, army power and number of territories. Your own row is highlighted when you make the top 10.

A free multiplayer strategy game in your browser

Empire Conquest is a persistent real-time strategy game. Every player starts with a single tile somewhere on one shared map of 200 by 200 tiles and grows from there: build an economy, claim the land around you, raise an army and take territory from the players next to you.

The world keeps running when you close the tab. Your buildings go on producing, construction finishes on its own and your neighbours can still march on your borders, so coming back to check on your empire is part of the game. The map refreshes every couple of seconds, so you see other players expand and fight as it happens.

It is made for players who like slow-burning strategy more than fast reflexes: a few minutes of planning at a time, decisions about what to build next and when to strike. There is nothing to install, and if you already have a TechTools account you can play with it straight away.

Buildings and units

There are seven building types. Each takes 10 to 30 seconds to build and can be upgraded to level 5. A construction or upgrade in progress can be cancelled to get resources back, and a finished building can be demolished for half of its base cost.

  • Sawmill, Quarry and Mine: produce wood, stone and gold. Each level adds 0.5 wood, 0.5 stone or 0.3 gold per second.
  • Warehouse: raises your storage limit by 1,000 of each resource per level, so production is not wasted.
  • Barracks: lets you train units, adds 10% army power per level and gives you more movement points. You can have only one.
  • Market: a late-game building (5,000 wood, 5,000 stone, 10,000 gold) that exchanges resources at 60%, rising with each level. One per player.
  • Wall: adds 1,000 defense per level to the tile it stands on. Walls are destroyed when the tile is captured.

Units are trained in the barracks and cost gold only:

  • Soldier: 25 gold, power 1. The most power for your gold.
  • Archer: 40 gold, power 1.2.
  • Cavalry: 75 gold, power 1.5. The most power per unit.

Moving your army costs movement points, one for each tile it travels, and you can move it only onto your own land. The points refill over time, and a bigger barracks lets you store more of them.

Strategy tips

  • Economy first. Production buildings pay for themselves, and the free claim every 60 seconds is worth taking whenever you are in the game.
  • Mind your storage. Anything produced above your storage limit is lost. Add a warehouse before you leave the game for long.
  • Count the defense before you attack. Every enemy tile adds 50 for the land plus its buildings and walls to the army defending it. Losing an attack costs your whole army.
  • Win big. The winner's losses depend on how close the fight was, so an overwhelming army keeps more of its units.
  • Wall your border. A single wall level adds 1,000 defense, far more than any army you can afford early on.

Frequently asked questions

Is Empire Conquest free to play?

Yes. The game is free, runs in your browser and has nothing to download or buy.

Do I need an account to play?

Yes, because your empire is saved on the server and keeps running while you are away. If you are signed in to your TechTools account, the game signs you in automatically. Otherwise use Fast Registration, which creates a game account in one click and is limited to one per network address every 24 hours, or Register with your own username and password.

Is it really multiplayer?

Yes. All players share one 200 by 200 tile map. You see everyone's territories and armies, you can attack any player whose land borders your army, and the game has a global chat with a count of players online.

How do I get more resources?

Sawmills, quarries and mines produce wood, stone and gold every second, and each upgrade level adds to the output. Every 60 seconds you can claim 50 wood, 50 stone and 25 gold for free, and a market lets you exchange one resource for another.

How does combat work?

Army power is soldiers times 1, archers times 1.2 and cavalry times 1.5, plus 10% for each barracks level. Every tile adds its own defense: 50 for the land, more for each building on it and 1,000 per wall level. The side with more power wins. The loser loses its whole army, and the winner loses up to half of its units, more the closer the fight was.

What happens when I capture a territory?

The tile becomes yours together with its buildings, except walls, which are destroyed. Your army moves onto the captured tile.

Does my empire keep growing while I am offline?

Yes. Production is counted from the time that has passed, so your stock is topped up when you come back, but only up to your storage limit. Storage starts at 1,000 of each resource and every warehouse level adds 1,000. Other players can still attack your land while you are away.

Can I play Empire Conquest on a phone?

The game is designed for a computer with a mouse and a large screen, so on a phone the page first suggests opening it on a computer. If you continue anyway, the game has a mobile layout with tabs and touch controls for the map.

Can I delete my empire?

If you play with your TechTools account, your empire is listed under My data in that account, where you can download it or delete it together with its territories, buildings and armies.
