War of Empire Conquest (WOE) is an enthralling real-time strategy (RTS) mobile game that thrives on real-time competitive (PvP) action. In WOE, one player initiates a match, inviting others to join and battle head-to-head. With the ability to manually control all types of units and buildings, players enjoy an unprecedented level of freedom in their strategic maneuvers.
The game meticulously simulates 18 powerful Empires from the medieval ages, including China, Japan, Persia, Teutonic, Mongolian, Gothic, Maya, and more. Each Empire boasts 8 types of regular units and 1 unique unit, adding a rich layer of diversity and strategy. While regular units such as Swordsmen, Pikemen, Archers, Light Cavalry, and Aries remain consistent across Empires, the unique units—such as Mongolia's Riders, Persia's War Elephants, and Spain's Conquistadors—offer distinctive tactical advantages.
Buildings play a crucial role in WOE, with structures like Towers, Turrets, Castles, and Blacksmith Shops each serving specific purposes. For instance, a Tower, when manned by 5 farmers, can unleash a barrage of 6 arrows, while a Turret focuses on demolishing enemy buildings.
Every Empire in WOE comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses, encouraging players to delve into the game for a comprehensive understanding. Notable examples include the Huns, who save time by not needing to build houses and enjoy reduced resource costs for Cavalry, and the Teutonic, renowned for their powerful but slow-moving warriors.
The core gameplay revolves around simultaneously managing three critical aspects: Developing your economy by maximizing farmer production and resource collection, harassing enemy units to gain an early advantage, and ultimately, destroying your opponents. Collaboration is key, with players forming legions to outmaneuver numerically superior foes and protect vulnerable, high-damage units. Understanding unit counters and fostering teamwork is essential, with dynamics such as Pikemen countering Cavalry, Cavalry countering Archers, and unique counters like the Slave's camel ride against Cavalry.
Resource management in WOE involves Food and Gold, with technological advancements allowing players to progress from the dark ages through the feudal and castle eras to the emperor era, unlocking new buildings and units along the way. The game offers various modes to cater to different play styles, including the Normal Mode, which emphasizes development and early skirmishes, and the Imperial Deathmatch Mode, where players start in the emperor era with ample resources for immediate, intense battles.
After four years of operation in China and numerous updates, WOE has evolved into version 1.8.n, featuring a robust set of functionalities. These include Player vs. CPU matches, network play, spectator mode, replay capabilities, map creation, legion formation, friend lists, and in-game chat, ensuring a dynamic and engaging gaming experience.
