Conquest awaits! The celebrated PC strategy series expands to iPhone and iPad in Age of Empires Mobile. Establish an unstoppable empire as you grow your kingdom, fight off invaders and coordinate tactics with the likes of Julius Caesar and Joan of Arc.

Here’s what to expect in this world-changing epic...

Richard the Lionheart. Sun Tzu. Leonidas of Sparta. Recruit epic, real-world heroes to lead your armies (and dish out specialised combat skills), along with lesser-known figures like Hammurabi and the Javanese monarch Tribhuwana. Detailed models and slick animations bring each character to life.

Prefer Romanesque arches and domes to medieval French spires? Each civilisation has its own look and feel, but the differences go beyond aesthetics. Unique resource bonuses and special units, such as the Roman Empire’s sturdy Phalanxes, add tactical depth. Boost your wood production by picking the Chinese civilisation, or opt for the Byzantine Empire to fill your gold coffers more quickly.

Managing a massive empire isn’t easy, so seek out help when you need it! Join a thriving alliance as soon as you can, and move your city close to the primary stronghold to ensure assistance is nearby if you’re invaded. Alliances are also essential for finishing particularly complex construction projects in the late game.
