Goodgame Empire is a medieval based free to play MMORTS from the same developers and publishers of the hugely popular, crime filled Goodgame Mafia. Goodgame Empire is home to a huge variety of exciting features and it stretches the boundaries of the MMORTS genre by adding various innovative aspects to old and stale mechanics and features.

Although Goodgame Empire is host to an exciting selection of RTS features, the most notable ones are the combat and travel systems. If you've played other popular online RTS games such as Evony Online you're probably familiar with incredibly dull and boring travel times when sending your troops to attack other players or AI castles. Goodgame Empire totally removes this aspect of the traditional MMORTS game and allows players to move their troops larger distances over a very short period of time, allowing for a lot more combat and territory gain.

The fast travel times are complimented by a unique battle system that actually requires strategy and input from the player, instead of the automated combat we're used to seeing in the majority of today's MMORTS titles. When attacking a castle there are 3 avenues players can use, the left and right flanks, and the middle. Sending different troops to attack from different directions can have varied effects depending on the layout of your enemies castle. This is where good scouting comes into play. Check if your opponent has a more vulnerable side, or maybe you've got units that can counter their more defensive positions. Either way, Goodgame Empire actually requires a keen eye and strategic mind to be successful in battle, removing the common concept that MMORTS games have to use automated battle systems with no user input.

As if that wasn't enough Goodgame Empire is filled with traditional MMORTS features that are sure to keep strategy fans entertained for hours on end. Dozens of quests, great graphics, dozens of buildings and a huge potential for army customization make this RTS one of the most unique around.
