Empyrean Rule - Rise Of The Ancients

[ollyORKO1l]

Hi all,

having run a Warhammer Dark Omen site for many years now, we have all been waiting for a new game to emerge that captures some of the spirit and tactics of a truely great Real Time Tactical engine but set in an online persistent world. Whilst enjoying the Total War, Mark of Chaos/Battle March and Lord of the Rings series, they sadly weren't a successor to Dark Omen gameplay. However I have been eagerly following the amazing development of ->


Empyrean Rule - Rise Of The Ancients

http://empyreanrule.com/


Imagine "A sandbox game in an open fantasy persistent world with real time tactical battles, strategy, empire management. Endless possibilities. " I personally think it would be like Dark Omen crossed with Eve Online and they've already got multiplayer demo movies, showcasing glorious battles.

The creators are true gamers who also enjoyed playing the same mentioned games, so they really know their tactical engines and gameplay. I really hope we can support them and meet on the battlefield soon!

Their Kickstarter Page is live and you can visit it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/empyreanrule/empyrean-rule-rise-of-the-ancients

Looks like a Total War / Mount and Blade crossover.

I don't know who "we" is, but I definitely haven't waited for Dark Omen in an online persistent world. Staying competitive is probably a 24/7 job, like in a German made browser (strategy) game.

Seems like a pretty good idea, actually.
I hope they will be able to make it.

It's a pretty good video showing what battles look like. Visually and stylistically it reminds me more of Total War but there's your special abilities and the like... so maybe King Arthur.

I like how the battles look, but i'm gonna pass on the online aspect. My personal preference aside, I also doubt there's enough content for it to succeed as a subscription based game.
