## What is Nightborn Empire?

The night belongs to those bold enough to rule it. Nightborn Empire is a gothic strategy game where you raise a vampire citadel, command powerful heroes, master forbidden research, and contend with rivals across a persistent world.

BUILD YOUR DOMAIN
Expand and upgrade your citadel, strengthen its defenses, gather vital resources, and shape an empire worthy of the night.

COMMAND VAMPIRE HEROES
Recruit distinctive heroes, develop their power, and choose the right champions to lead your forces.

MASTER DARK RESEARCH
Unlock lasting military, economic, and strategic advantages through an interconnected research system.

MARCH ACROSS A LIVING WORLD
Scout rival citadels, hunt mercenaries, gather resources, and send specialized troop formations across the world map.

COMPETE FOR SUPREMACY
Climb City and World leaderboards across power, hero progression, citadel development, combat achievements, and more.

FORGE ALLIANCES
Create or join a Coven, chat with other rulers, build friendships, and coordinate your rise through the ranks.

YOUR EMPIRE. YOUR LEGACY.
Every decision shapes your ascent. Build patiently, strike decisively, and become the power every rival fears when darkness falls.
