This system forces the player to improvise. As a potentate of this era, you might realistically be able to nudge your development in a certain direction, but much of it will remain in the hands of market and societal forces not directly under your control.Īnd not only is this randomness more realistic, it also makes for great game play: You are prevented from min-max power-gaming your way to victory, by boringly choosing the same buildings in the same order, region after region, game after game. On top of that, many of these structures are traditionally private enterprises anyways. Rather, you are placed in the role of an emperor (or chieftain or king or senate leader) of a Roman-era state whose government bureaucracy is minuscule by today's standards. Now, in case you're wondering "why can't I just build any available building I want?" the answer is simple: In FOG: Empires, you're not an omnipotent leader of a hypothetically perfect modern day Soviet-style economy. The six choices are chosen with weighted randomness out of the generally available structures for each category. Needless to say, you'll be able to watch some halfway decent (IMHO!) FOG: E game play there as well.]Įach region in Field of Glory: Empires, at any given time, will offer you six choices of structures to build, one in each of the six building categories: Agricultural (green), Healthcare (blue), Infrastructure (pink), Military (red), Commerce (gold), and Culture (purple).

Not only did he provide many valuable insights into the game's mechanics that I was unaware of, but he also saved me from a couple key misconceptions as well! I want to give a big thank you here to the game's designer, Philippe Malacher aka "Pocus," for taking the time to review the first draft of this Guide. I hope to continue to keep it up to date. As of today (May 21, 2020), this Guide has been updated up and to including all the material which came with the release of the most recent Persia DLC.
