GAME DESCRIPTION
As Emperor, your power is great! Rule your subjects wisely and build a mighty empire. Control trade, levy taxes, employ new technologies, cement alliances, raise armies, and build monument to your everlasting glory. Compete with neighboring kingdoms for wealth and power. Take your city online to see if you truly are the world's mightiest monarch.
"Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom," transports you back in time when Emperors reigned and China wasw the greatest and most resplendent power on earth. Epic in scope, Emperor spans even dynasties, and more than 3000 years of Chinese history - from China's pre-imperial Xia dynasty circa 2100 BCE to the Mongol invasion of the Middle Kingdom under Genghis Khan in 1211 CE.
As Emperor, you will build housing to attract immigrants to your new city. Then the city's workers and farmers, administrators and soldiers will be yours to command, and you will have the work force you need to build a provincial city into a great metropolis. At your bidding, legions of workers will toil to erect walls strong enough to keep the barbarians at bay. Under your banner, armies will march out to do battle with the enemy. Trade and commerce will flourish and an army of tax collectors will collect the taxes that are due. Schools and clinics, palaces and garden will embellish the city you have built and proclaim your benevolence to the world.
Under your enlightened rule, a small settlement will expand to become the capital of a grand and glorious empire. From humble beginnings your city will grow into an imperial city worthy of your greatness.
