Border Empires

Border Empires is a persistent, browser-based multiplayer 4X strategy game where you build an empire, conquer territory, manage resources, and wage war against rival players in a massive shared world. The world does not stop when you log off, and the world continues. So do you.

A strategy game that respects your time

If you're a grand strategy game fan and you love games like Civilization, Stellaris, or any other grand strategy game and you don't always have hours to spend on the game, Border Empires is the game for you. Set your plans in motion, set your military's priorities, and let your empire carry out your strategy.

Check in throughout the day and react to any new developments to see what your next move will be. Whether you want to play for a few minutes or for a longer period, there is always another strategic decision to be made.

Conquer a world one tile at a time

Every piece of land matters, so explore the forests, mountains and oceans to find valuable resources and capture the towns to establish a foothold in enemy territory.

Build defensive strongholds and open new fronts in the fight for control of strategic locations. Your empire is not just a collection of cities on a map, but a growing territory with borders that can be attacked, surrounded and broken.

Defeat is part of the experience

Sometimes, you spend days building your empire only to find that when you return your defenses are down and your enemies have taken everything. This doesn't mean you are out of the game though.

Mete out a place to rebuild and change strategy to fight your way back into the game. Who knows? Yesterday's dominant empire could be tomorrow's forgotten ruin.

Compete for territory, towns, and resources

You are not alone on this planet! Compete with other players and their AI-controlled empires for towns, resources, territory and even form alliances, negotiate borders, launch attacks and use the mistakes of your neighbors.

Every expansion creates new opportunities and new threats. The quiet frontier you have just claimed may become tomorrow's battlefield.

Build a dominant empire

Territory alone will not make you powerful. Capture towns to make your economy and army bigger. Capture towns to get resources to make better buildings. Capture towns to get better defenses. Capture towns to make siege equipment.

Where do you place your defenses, which front do you wish to hold, which do you want to commit your forces to an offensive? A small, well-positioned empire can be a severe threat to a much larger neighbor.
