At present, most of the SLG games on the market are based on the three kingdoms as the background theme, and the gameplay is also similar, which inevitably makes players have aesthetic fatigue. Recently, a mobile game jointly launched by Tencent Tianmei and the original Empire Era Project Team- "Return to the Empire", took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and chose the world's multi-civilization theme with a sword, and also adopted a rare realistic painting style in the painting style. Taking advantage of the disputes between many civilizations, I feel refreshed. With the continuous upgrading of scientific and technological civilization, players can deeply experience the changes of human civilization and see how a country has gone from barbarism to prosperity step by step.
