Oriental Empires is a newly released historical 4X game set in ancient China. As you might expect given the genre, in Oriental Empires you will need to raise your nation from humble beginnings to glorious heights, develop your land and construct grand cities, spread your culture and religion throughout the region, and naturally, send massive armies against anyone who dares stand in your way.
