If you’re into mobile strategy games, then chances are that you have already heard of this one. In China, Era of Conquest was a hit and remains one of the most popular games over there.

Released recently, Era of Conquest even onboarded the Hollywood actor Benedict Cumberbatch to promote the game.

In this guide, we have explained what the game is about and some quick tips for beginners. 

What is Era of Conquest?

While there is no dearth of strategy games on the market, Era of Conquest stands out from the crowd for being ‘4X’ – which means ‘expansion, extermination, exploration, and exploitation.’

Further, Era of Conquest is completely free to play, which means players cannot pay and buy premium features. To get ahead in the game, players have to rely solely on their strategic skills, which creates a fair atmosphere for all players.

By now, you must have gotten a fair idea about the gameplay, so let’s have a look at some characters and civilizations.

Civilizations

At the start, you have to choose a civilization. At this point, you don’t have to worry about the kind of civilization because you will be unlocking them all eventually. Right now, you can choose from Arabic, British, French, German, Korean, Japanese, and Roman civilization. Once the Civic Center is upgraded to level 5, you can then change the type of civilization.

Characters

Another noteworthy feature of this game is that it has a cast of well-known historical leaders. When you start playing, you will meet the likes of Cleopatra, Alexander The Great, Caesar, Charlemagne, Hannibal, Oda Nobunaga, and more. As is the case with other games, you have to level up your characters to strengthen your roster.

Here’s a tier list of all characters in Era of Conquest.
