Hi everybody!

I just thought I would post a short update from the upcoming fantasy strategy game Rising Empires. We started our first small beta test three weeks ago. Since all empires started very close to each other we have already started to see the first conflict between an Ende and a Krant empire. We are looking forward to more conflicts as we need to continue our tests of the combat routines.

It's important to evaluate how the different races fare against each other but this is hard to balance correctly with all their non-combat abilities. The different mechanics and abilities of the races makes them all unique, the best way to play a Krant empire might be a poor way for a Dwarf empire. And this goes for all the races except for the Humans which are good at adapting to most play styles.

In the beta I play a Dwarf and a Krant empire and I can't escape the fact that these two races are the opposite of each other. The Krant increase in numbers increadibly quick compared to the Dwarves but in combat they will be slaughtered like the bugs they are. The Ende are, perhaps, even more combat oriented than the Dwarves but with their limited numbers (the majority of their population is Greenskins) it's a question if you dare muster them all and sending them out to wage war?

Another interesting fact with the Dwarves are that they start with assets both in the Netherworld and the Surface. The capital and town is connected by a cave opening which makes their two starting settlements very strong combined. But it also makes them vulnurable as they will face potential enemies on both levels.

Johan and I already think that this beta test has been very valueble. We've received good comments on how Rising Empires functions and two of our beta testers has also tested it on their tablets with good results. We wait with excitement on the first evaluation of the game play as well. Up til now most comments has been on functionality (or lack of in some cases) and very little on game play. Rising Empires is a massive multiplayer long term strategy game. Rome wasn't built in a day and it will be the same for empires in Rising Empires.

If you want to know more more or look at screenshots please visit us on the web at risingempires.com.

Cheers!
