Ageborn: Empire Builder

Raise a village. Lead it through five ages. Ageborn starts you with a handful of thatched huts in the Stone Age. Gather food and wood, build farms and houses, train an army, and upgrade your town center to advance. Every age rebuilds your village before your eyes: mudbrick in the Bronze Age, stone walls, terracotta roofs and catapults in the Iron Age, castles, slate and knights in the Medieval Age, and marble domes, cannon and a Wonder in the Imperial Age. Everyone works, as in Age of Empires: woodcutters chop the forest and carry the logs home, miners dig stone and gold, farmers work the fields, and builders hammer at every site. Your army waits in ranks beside the barracks, marches out to raid, and the survivors march home. Pinch in close to watch them, from clubmen in furs to knights in mail to musketeers. RAID OTHER PLAYERS Drop your troops outside a rival's walls and watch them fight. Infantry hit whatever is nearest, archers shoot over walls, cavalry ride for the storehouses and siege engines go for the towers. Earn stars and trophies, carry off their resources, and take revenge when someone raids you. LEAD WITH A HERO Richard the Lionheart, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan or Sun Tzu leads every raid, levels up as you fight, and has an ability you choose when to fire. CHOOSE YOUR PEOPLE Britons, Franks, Mongols or Chinese, each with a lasting bonus. PLAY THE CAMPAIGN Thirty missions through the five ages, each with a goal to win and two harder goals for more stars, and a legend of three missions for each hero. FOUND COLONIES Stone and gold run out. Trade for them at the Market, or in the Imperial Age send settlers to found colonies on new islands, each richer in something than home. JOIN AN ALLIANCE Chat with up to 30 allies, cut time off each other's upgrades, and fill a weekly chest together with the stars you earn in raids. EVERY DAY, SOMETHING TO DO Collect what your farms and mines made while you were away, finish three daily quests, keep your login streak, and clear trees and rocks for hidden gems. FAIR TO PLAY Free, with no adverts. Gems speed things up but never make you stronger, and you earn them by playing. Ageborn is played online: your village is saved to our servers and other players can raid it.
