InnoGames created the browser-based strategy game Forge of Empires. On March 29, 2012, it debuted in closed beta for the first time. On April 17, 2012, the game went live (with an open beta phase). The game reached 10 million user registrations in 2013 thanks to a television advertising campaign. In 2015, the game was made available for Android as well as iOS: The game features turn-based strategy elements and is comparable to both SimCity and Clash of Clans. The game's lifetime revenue was $568 million as of 2019.
The game's main objective is to build a city that grows and changes from the Stone Age to the colonization of Jupiter Moon. There are houses in the city that house money and people, buildings that make goods and supplies, buildings that make decorations, and buildings that are cultural and provide happiness. Players can research technologies with Forge Points, which have a meter that fills up over time (up to 10 Forge Points at a time) and allow them to unlock new buildings, more building space, and other bonuses.
In addition, special buildings can be obtained through daily challenges, special events, and the antique dealer, who buys and sells items in exchange for coins and gemstones. Diamonds, a valuable and more difficult-to-acquire currency, may be required to purchase some.
When a player locates the appropriate blueprints, Forge Points can be used to build magnificent buildings based on historical structures. Great Buildings have more advantages, but advance requires a lot of forge points. Diamonds, a currency that can be purchased with real money, can be used to accelerate research and construction. Diamonds, on the other hand, can sometimes be obtained by completing certain quests and visiting certain buildings like the Crow's Nest and Wishing Wells. Because diamonds are the account's currency rather than the city's, some players with large cities create new worlds on their accounts and populate them with these kinds of buildings.
Training for particular military units is permitted in some buildings. Conquering particular territories is another way to acquire some military units. Battle happens with turn-based strategies, and unit types work in a stone-paper-scissors style against one another. Player-versus-player combat, as well as special tournaments, and combat can be used to advance territory on a world map. These tournaments are held between guilds, which are teams of players who compete against one another.
To advance, Forge of Empires includes a significant amount of combat. Even though a player can choose to be a trader or a fighter on the first screen, they soon reach a point where they cannot advance without acquiring weapons.
A guild can be joined by a player, which gives them advantages in the game like more daily forge points, bonuses in combat, and social interactions like helping build and progress. Guild members can also compete against other guilds on several combat maps.
Gag (Guild vs. Guild) was released in 2014 and takes place on the Guild Continent map. Guilds compete for control of different age sectors. The map features an All Ages (AA) continent in addition to these twelve ages (Iron Age, or IA, through Future Era, or FE). To establish sieges or deploy defensive armies (DA's), players must use donated treasury goods or medals for AA. Place a siege army and fight until all defending armies are defeated to win a sector. Players can deploy defensive armies after being conquered.
A weekly competition between up to eight guilds was introduced in 2016 as Guild Expedition. The final position in the expedition is determined by the percentage of guild participation, and the guilds that finish first, second, or third receive an additional boost. There are four progressive difficulty levels.
Guild expedition gives rewards after each successful battle or negotiation, in addition to increasing guild power. Using blueprints acquired during the expedition, players can also construct a Great Building known as the Temple of Relics, giving them a chance to win larger prizes.
Battlegrounds were made available on November 14, 2019, and it was a cross between Guild vs. Guild and Guild Expeditions. Guilds compete for provinces on the map every two weeks, earning victory points to boost their final ranking and determine league participation. Challenges are greater and rivals are more competitive in higher leagues.
Territories can be vanquished utilizing independent fights or talks. The guild shares any progress made in a province. At the point when the landmark closes, society individuals procure a prize as indicated by the presentation of their organization and their ongoing association.
Forge of Empires was initially only available in German and English. There are currently 25 translations available. In 2016, a Korean-language server was shut down.
