Empires: Dawn of the Modern World is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that allows players to completely command unique, historically based civilizations to conquer the world. Spanning from the Middle Ages to World War II, players will lead their empire through brutal battles. Each nation has its own historically accurate units and abilities to be used as gamers command battles over land, sea and air. The game spans the most recognized time periods in the history of the world--from 950 AD to 1950 AD, including the Middle Ages, the Gunpowder Age, the Imperial Age, WWI and WWII. In addition, each nation has its own distinctive gameplay based on its traditional strengths and weaknesses. For example, the English were masters of the sea in the Gunpowder Age and the Germans had superior armor and tanks in WWII. Gamers can choose to play single player campaigns or story-based campaigns or take on friends in the multiplayer mode. The game also has gorgeous 3D graphics. Not Final Cover.
