IMPERIAL GLORY

in imperial glory, you have the choice to rule as an absolute despot or a constitutional monarch as you re-forge the destiny of the world, amid the turbulent times of the early 19th century.

two distinct gameplay modes: a turn-based imperial management model is played alongside the real-time 3d land and naval battles.

choice of empires: choose from one of the five great empires of the period - great britain, france, russia, prussia or austria, in your struggle for domination. each empire has its own strengths and weaknesses that can change as play progresses.

spectacular land battles: striking environments provide the backdrop for engrossing scenes of combat. fully interactive battle maps allow you to gain a defensive advantage by occupying buildings, forests, boulder fields and more. the varying climates and terrains of the 50 plus maps dramatically change the look and feel of battles. realistic weather effects influence your troops' ability and will to fight.

historically accurate units and weaponry: faithfully reproduced units - which differ from empire to empire - reflect the colour and pomp of the era, while authentic period formations and manoeuvres provide great tactical depth.

breathtaking naval battles: varying classes of ships are manned by crews with differing skills and abilities. choose to sink your enemy, or to immobilise, board and capture their vessels.

in-depth management model: provides challenging and rewarding gameplay encompassing war, diplomacy, politics, commerce and technology. develop and expand your empire throughout europe and north africa, across 51 provinces and 31 maritime regions.

comprehensive development model: featuring over 70 advancements, with separate military, politcal/diplomatic, resources and commercial branches as well as a unique system of historical quests.

imposing multiplayer: head-to-head real-time battles allow you to pit your skills as a commander against your friends.
