Gameplay
From Middle Ages through World War II, Command battles with an amazing array of historic troops and abilities - over land, sea, and air.

Empires: Dawn of the Modern World is a real-time strategy (RTS) game, in which the player guides a civilization through five historical periods, from the Middle Ages to World War II. As in many RTS titles, the player collects natural resources, erects buildings, and trains and maintains a military. Players use a mouse cursor interface (or hotkeys) to direct their units, which range from crossbowmen to King Tiger tanks. A three-dimensional camera system allows the player to view the action from any perspective, including isometric and first-person angles.
