Developer Lilith Games has released the latest update for its RTS MMO Rise of Kingdoms adding Ancient Egypt as the latest playable faction. Lilith Games is known for their previous releases such as AFK Arena and Warpath. Ancient Army brings its own army to the game which will allow players to take to the battlefield to wage historically-accurate wars and defeat other players with the fabled cunning and architectural ingenuity of Ancient Egypt.
Check out the launch trailer of Ancient Egypt in Rise of Kingdoms below:
As part of the new update called Egypt Must Rise, Ancient Egypt brings its rich history of prosperity and affluence to the game which will give players a chance to experience a whole new civilization to lead, grow and flourish. In Addition, the new update also adds new Commanders including Imhotep, an expert pyramid architect and high priest, and The Warrior King himself, Thutmose III. Ancient Egypt was ruled for almost 30 years before its conquest by Alexander the Great in 334 B.C.
Apart from Ancient Egypt, Rise of Kingdoms offers 13 historically accurate kingdoms to command with societies from rich cultural backgrounds such as Rome, Britain, Spain, Germany, France, China, Japan, Korea, Arabia, Ottoman, Byzantium, and Viking. Each civilization is unique and has its own challenges for expansion. You will lead expeditions beyond country borders, devote power to assisting residents in need and become a leader known for their noble character.
Key features of Rise of Kingdoms include:
- Thirteen Unique Civilizations: Choose one of 13 historical civilizations and guide your empire from a lone clan into a great, unstoppable force. Each civilization has its own architecture, unique units, and special advantages — how you use them to your benefit is up to you! Put your governing skills to the test with the Egyptian civilization; fight together with Cleopatra and her armies, Thutmose III, Imhotep, and other great commanders to conquer the sands and start your own centuries-spanning adventure!
- Real-Time Battles: Battles happen in real-time on the world map. Anyone can join or leave a battle at any time, allowing true MMOSLG gameplay. See an ally being attacked right in your backyard? Send some troops to help them out, or launch a surprise counterattack on the attacker’s city.
- Seamless World Map: All in-game action takes place on a single, enormous map inhabited by players and NPCs. No isolated bases or separate battle screens. Never-before-seen on mobile, “infinite zoom” allows you to transition freely between the world view and individual cities or barbarian outposts. Map features include natural obstructions such as rivers and mountain ranges and strategic passes that must be captured to gain entrance to neighboring regions.
- Unrestricted Troop Movements: New orders can be issued to troops at any time, offering limitless strategic possibilities. Launch an attack on an enemy city, then circle back and meet up with your alliance army to capture a pass. Dispatch troops to collect lumber from a nearby forest and have them pick off a few barbarian clans along the way. Forces can also be split up between multiple commanders so that you can engage in multiple actions simultaneously.
- Alliance System: Full alliance features allow players to help one another: live chat with built-in translation, officer roles, map indicators to coordinate strategies, and more! Alliances can expand their territory to gain resources, capture mountain passes and barbarian outposts to strengthen their position and work together to unlock group achievements.
- RPG Commanders: Call upon dozens of historical figures who will serve as your trustworthy commanders, from Julius Caesar and Sun Tzu to Joan of Arc and Kusunoki Masashige. Level up your commanders by defeating barbarians and sending them into battles, then upgrade their abilities using an RPG-style talent tree and skill system.
