Forge of Empires is a browser-based strategy game developed by InnoGames. The open beta phase started on April 17, 2012.[1] By 2013, the game had 10 million players.[2] It was later released for the iPhone and iPad in 2014,[3] as well as Android in 2015.[4] The game is similar to both SimCity and Clash of Clans, but includes turn-based strategy elements.[5]
Gameplay
The main goal of the game is to build and enlarge a city beginning in the stone age and ending (by now) in the future era. For this purpose there are limited building grounds which can be expanded gradually. To buy new buildings and decoration the player needs coins and tools which can be collected from residential and production buildings (or by buying diamonds and technilogical advances for cash from InnoGames). There is a timeline on which the player has to unlock the eras in order to proceed in the game; a battle ground; and a continent map that shows the provinces the player has to conquer.
