Ever wanted to play the role of a gold-hungry, power-obsessed tyrant? This clicker game lets you do whatever you want without being charged for war crimes! The makers of Idle Armies and More! Gold! Now! offer their latest RPG clicker extravaganza: Idle Empires! Join King Norman and help turn his peaceful little oasis of a kingdom into a war-hungry, gold churning, dictatorship riddled with fear. Transform peaceful cottages into your personal gold mine, orphanages into textile plants and town halls into prisons. Blame the peace-loving Orcs for all of society's problems and invade your neighbors... for their own protection, of course. Funny, witty and - very occasionally - poignant dialogue explores power, corruption and populism in a way that doesn't take itself too seriously.

If you hate restarting then don’t get it, but restarting doesn’t leave you empty handed, you can get earn points that you spend on bonuses that help in the next run. ### 5/5 — It’s fun but... *2023-07-04* Fun game but I wish you could use gems like in Idle apocalypse for skins and such. I know they need to make money but also you can buy gems. So it’s really not a lose for the developers. It’s their choice however. The benefit is it makes them look good and make more money over time. Good representation of a company increases people’s likelihood to buy whatever a company or developers sells. English isn’t my first language, hopefully I did good for being Lithuanian. they should also advertise the game on tv and make it interesting more. That’d make them loads of cash if people are interested in buying/ getting the game and buying stuff. Oh, also they should add some ### 2/5 — Lousy Developing *2023-06-08* Florax’s Probe stops you from getting villager bonus from Census. Florax’s Probe allows you to have your villagers start at level 5 but because of this Census doesn’t count the other 4 levels he only counts the levels that you manually upgrade. This is a ridiculous issue. Having Florax’s Probe is helpful when progressing through the game however I would rather have the villager bonus because it’s better than Florax’s Probe. I have deleted the game for this reason. ### 4/5 — can’t play it on iPhone 12 mini *2022-10-20* I rediscovered this game after a few years and was a little disappointed to see that i just get a grey screen forever, but i still like this game and can’t wait for this issue to get patched. ### 4/5 — Good but needs a reset option *2022-09-23, version 1.19* I love this game, and I played it awhile ago and got pretty far. I redownloaded it and wanted to start the game again from the beginning, but unlike the other games they made, this one doesn’t have a reset option. I would like to be able to restart again with nothing. ### 4/5 — Idle Empires *2022-05-28, version 1.19* Fun game I really love most Rino Games but not being able to sync this game between my IPad and IPhone will keep me from buying permanent upgrades. ### 4/5 — Restart *2021-08-21, version 1.19* I like the game it’s super fun to play but I stopped playing it for a while and deleted it and now I want to start over but I’ve looked in the settings and I can’t find where to actually reset progress other than that I have no problems with the game ### 5/5 — Love this game *2021-08-08, version 1.19* But I wish there were still updates.. none in 2yrs feels like the game’s been abandoned😞 ### 4/5 — Epic game!!! *2021-06-05, version 1.19* It’s a very nice game and I honestly love it but the reason I am giving it 4 stars is because of how fast the unrest rises .like once if your unrest reaches 400 or so then it’s very hard to bring back down .Now to my second point the church pastor whom you can bribe to decrease unrest super expensive . Otherwise I love the game and the little funny convos between Norman and steward ### 5/5 — Is nice!!! *2021-01-05* I like!!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Idle Empires ### What is Idle Empires?
