Dawn of Empires (game)

Dawn of Empires is an upcoming turn-based online 4X grand strategy video game set to be released in the late spring of 2020. The game, which is set at the dawn of civilization (around 3000 B.C.), will put players in control of a fictional civilization and give them the opportunity to trade and fight with other civilizations controlled by real players.

Settings and Gameplay
Dawn of Empires will reportedly be set between 3000 B.C. and 1200 B.C. in a fictional version of earth. Players will begin the game in control of a small, independent village, which they are tasked with growing and expanding into a full-fledged civilization. They will do this by assigning their village's population to various different tasks such as mining, logging, farming, and exploring. Players will also have the opportunity to research new technology to make their actions more efficient or to unlock new in-game items and mechanics. Since Dawn of Empires is always online, players have the opportunity to encounter other player-controlled civilizations in the game. Wars, trades, and exchanges of information between players will reportedly be possible in Dawn of Empires. Players may also encounter A.I. controlled "barbarians", who will attempt to attack player-controlled settlements and structures.
