    Empires makes the series bigger and better than ever with new scenarios, large scale battles, new policies and plenty of strategy to keep your mind fully engaged.

    This is the game I have been expecting to find in the previous titles, one that lets me make the battlefield and kingdom decisions rather than being pulled along by the story.

    In the fusion of strategy and action, the game proves itself worthy of continuing the Dynasty. [May 2006, p.53]

    If you haven't played DW before, or if you're a fan but you've found it overwhelming, this is the sweet spot. There is no better time to get involved with this interesting – if over-exposed – series than right now.

    Empires provides equal portions of action and strategy, and dishes out an adventure that will gleefully eat up huge chunks of players' time.
