Great Game! Very Historical, Good Concept but it crash sometimes
Gameplay Mechanics: 8/10
Narrative: 7/10
Graphics: 7/10
Sound and Music: 7/10
Replayability: 8/10
Innovation: 8/10
Oriental Empires is a 4X turn-based strategy game that transports players to ancient China, offering a unique perspective on the genre. Combining city-building, resource management, and large-scale battles, it delivers an experience that feels distinct from traditional 4X games. The gameplay mechanics emphasize long-term planning and cultural development, earning a solid 8/10 for their depth and execution.
The narrative is rooted in historical authenticity, immersing players in the rise of Chinese civilizations from tribal beginnings to imperial dominance. While the story is primarily player-driven, the historical context adds richness to the experience. However, the lack of a structured campaign narrative limits its emotional impact, earning the narrative a 7/10.
Graphically, the game captures the beauty of ancient China with vibrant landscapes and detailed cityscapes. While functional and atmospheric, the visuals don’t break new ground in terms of technical quality, resulting in a 7/10 for graphics.
The sound and music are fitting, with traditional Chinese compositions that enhance the game’s cultural setting. However, the audio design lacks variety and polish, making it serviceable but not memorable. Sound and music score a 7/10.
Replayability is a strength of Oriental Empires, with a wide array of factions to play as, each offering unique starting conditions and playstyles. The sandbox nature of the game and dynamic AI ensure each playthrough feels distinct, earning replayability a commendable 8/10.
Innovation shines in the game’s simultaneous movement system, which adds a new layer of strategy to army positioning and movements. Instead of waiting for turns to resolve sequentially, players must anticipate and counteract enemy movements in real time. This mechanic creates tense and rewarding strategic moments, earning innovation an 8/10.
In summary, Oriental Empires offers a refreshing take on the 4X strategy genre, grounded in the rich history and culture of ancient China. The simultaneous movement system, combined with the game’s focus on cultural development and historical authenticity, makes it a compelling choice for strategy enthusiasts. It’s a solid game that rewards careful planning and thoughtful empire-building.
This has been on my wishlist a while, and it had a deep price reduction on the Black Friday 2024 sales.
I expected a CIV clone, but instead got more of a Heroes of Might and Magic clone minus all the supernatural elements, but with added historical realism. It is a hex-based game, which I prefer for this genre, I have played this game once so far for about six hours straight. While I could have played the Han, I instead played the group of people from near Szechuan/Sichuan (their name escapes me; I'm not a East Asian / Sino area studies specialist), and learned lots about the historical evolution of East Asian technologies that enabled urbanization and empire formation. That in and of itself is probably worth the price for me.
What else do I find compelling about the game? In no particular order: Peasants can be set to develop farmland, built roads, clear trees and the like (though gated by technological advances) without needing to build a settler unit. You can learn about/ invest in four technologies at a time, with each turn counting as investments into each of the four. You have advisors, there is a marriage system (though not as advanced as others), and innovations allow you to add more kinds of advisors/flunkies. Corruption is an issue, as it becomes worse over time. You can build shrines to placate the peasants, but I'm not sure if the shrines only benefit the nearest settlement or are empire-wide. The same goes with the installations to improve nobles' moods. Bandits flee combat. So, too, will your foes. And your units. It is relatively easy to recapture a settlement, at least before you add walls. Troops come in two flavors: nobles and peasant levies. Peasant levies are cheaper to maintain. Nobles are more effective. I had begun researching crossbows, having already gotten chariots, bows and metal weapons. Copper and jade can be mined. Mulberry trees improve your silk production. Internal trade is important. External trade is important. I don't know how large the map is, as I never reached the edge. Also, I don't know China well enough to place the rivers in my mental map, so I couldn't estimate hex-size.
In general, I find this game similar enough to western games that I can usually understand what is going on, but it is inflected with enough mainland East Asian history to make it intriguing.

"This may be the most important post you’ll ever read because it provides a simple explanation about why our world is being destroyed, by design.
I’m not antisem itic nor a N azi. I’m simply a former hacker with great analytical skills who understands what’s happening in the world.
At the end of this post I will quote from a world domination plan. You will recognize the truth immediately because that’s what’s currently happening in the world. Today’s reality suggests that this plan is real.
When you do your own research you will learn that the origin of this plan was discredited and that the alleged creators have nothing to do with it. But who was the person providing the key evidence?
It was allen dulles. The man who raised money from US industrialists to fund Ad olf Hi tler, his Na zi party and his war. The man who later became the director of the CIA during Kennedy and the head of The Warren Commission that investigated the Kennedy Incident. Why would anybody believe a man with such a questionable character?
The protocols of the elders of zion have unquestionably borrowed ideas from several authors but you can say that about most important writings throughout history. It was called a fabrication and is one of the first uses of the term ‘conspiracy theory’.
Why do zionists have a massive over-representation in the media, politics, banking, and world-affairs? How did such a small community get to dominate all the centers of power and information?
Why can isreal ignore UN resolutions, international-law, and commit a genocide in Ga za, to standing ovations in the US Congress? Why is isreal acting like it is above the law seemingly without any fear of consequences.
Read some of the alleged zi onist world domination plan below and compare it with reality. Is all of this just a coincidence?
“Our power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.”
“We shall absolutely control the media, so that not a single announcement will ever reach the public without our control. In this way we shall have a sure triumph over our opponents, for without the media, they are helpless.”
“We will distract the brainless heads with vain conceptions, fantastic theories, rotten amusement, games, and filthy passions, so that they will be unable to use what intellect they have. They will never suspect that they have been stage managed by us.”
“We shall establish huge monopolies, so that all will go to ruin when the political smash-up comes. We must, at all cost, deprive them of their lands, we must lower wages, and raise the prices of all necessities of life.”
“We shall create an economic crisis, which will stop dealings in all exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall throw onto the streets whole mobs of workers, simultaneously, all over the world, who will rush to loot property and delight to shed blood.”
“In our government, besides ourselves, there must only be the mass of enslaved people, a few billionaires devoted entirely to us, police, and soldiers. To do this we must create chaos and hostilities, and we must use all deceit, treachery and falseness, possible. Our greatest weapon is the media.”
“We shall establish one king over all of earth who will annihilate all causes of discord, such as borders, nationalities, religion, state debts, etc., and get peace and quiet which cannot be secured in any other way. To attain our ends we must foment trouble in all countries, utterly exhaust all of humanity with hatred, struggle, envies, torture, starvation, and diseases, so that the people will be forced to take refuge in our complete sovereignty.”
“Our master card has been, is, and shall be, the destruction of all privileges, on the ruins of which we shall set up our absolute autocracy.”
Please be mindful that most pro-isreal comments on social media are generated by the largest bot network in the world, not by real people.
Specifically, this is what has been done, using video-games to brain-wash, indoctrinate, demoralize, and fractionalize, young(er) people who would otherwise be focused-on family and community, is IN-YOUR-FACE, now, and is openly-known to be happening with the games we buy from Steam, and others.

""How the tables have turned in the past decade. If you were involved at the inception of the culture war around a decade ago then you probably remember an abrupt and distinct change in popular media from 2015 to 2016. There was a surge of far-left and feminist propaganda in movies, television, commercials and even video games that was highly aggressive, perhaps even militant. Some people spoke out at the time and questioned the motives behind the trend, only to be smacked down by angry mobs of activists and corporate journalists with accusations of “conspiracy theory” and “bigotry.”
In other words, their claim was that you were not seeing what you thought you were seeing. There was no feminist agenda. There was no gay or trans agenda. There was no socialist messaging. It was only in your head.
If there is one rule that encompasses all political endeavors, it is this: If you have to hide your intentions and lie about your goals when trying to spread your ideology, then something is probably very wrong with your ideology. This is exactly the problem inherent in the attempt to spread woke doctrine – Activists and provocateurs never ask anyone if they want to hear about woke ideas; they seek to force everyone to see and hear woke ideas, to the point that people cannot escape the messaging.
Even more insulting is the fact that even though most of these activists claim to be fans of the media they target, they are usually discovered to be frauds. Woke ideologues have little sincere interest in nostalgia, movie making, video games, comic books, etc. They only care about these properties because they see them as a vehicle to be co-opted, infected and dominated. Leftists know well that if they control pop culture they can control the thinking of the next generation."...
I'm racking up that social credit and trading pottery, what are you doing with your life?
Pretty good game with two pretty nice expansions, I don't think it gets worked on anymore I've kinda heard yes and no on that regard but I'll just assume no? Get it on sale if you're interested, I think you'll definitely enjoy it.
Simple mechanics create complex choices
A distinctly Chinese (with hints of Mongol and Korean) 4X style game. Somewhat minimalist tactical battles (stack v stack in automatic combat). A fun economy to master. Alright diplomacy (which is normally pretty weak in 4X, so IDK).
I somehow keep coming back to it.
