The time has come for you to lead your people to glory. We'd like to introduce you to our newest title launching next Wednesday. Empire Manager will put you in control of one of 3 glorious nations. Will you rule with an iron fist conquering your oponents strategically on the battle field? Maybe you will focus on your nation's productivity and lead your people to build a world wonder ensuring your empire never be forgotten? Diplomacy is always an option.. but it comes at a great cost. If all else fails try your luck at the horse races, maybe the gods will save you! It will all fall on your shoulders when we launch Wednesday July 30! Inspired by classic games like Centurion and Civilization, Empire Manager will let you build your empire and command your army right down to moving troops on the battlefield. + Manage your people, build your nation lead it to eternal glory + Research improvements that compliment your conquest strategy + Mine minerals, farm crops and balance the budget of your nation + Hire an army to defend your lands or conquer neighbouring territories + Choose between the Romans, Egyptians and Vikings, each having their own advantages.
Confirmed this is a premium app with no IAP in the Pocket Tactics forum. I'm pretty stoked for this one! Source: http://www.pockettactics.com/forums/#/discussion/3104/empire-manager-coming-july-23-lead-your-people-to-glory
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much on this one, seeing as it looks absolutely awesome. Could this be it? The Civ-like iOS strategy game we deserve?
