Our take on Circle Empires
Instead of relying on a fixed map, the game organizes expansion around connected circles that change between sessions. It also places pumpkin cultivation alongside battles, resources, faction bonuses, and boss encounters within its RTS structure.
What is Circle Empires?
Circle Empires is a real-time strategy game set in a world of interconnected circles.
Each circle contains loot to plunder and foes to defeat as players expand a small kingdom across the map. Units gain experience and level up, while increasingly strong enemies and 12 boss monsters provide combat challenges. Procedurally generated worlds change between games and include distinct flora and fauna. The game features more than 150 creatures, buildings, and resources, along with 18 faction leaders offering different bonuses. A treasury grows after battles, and empire expansion proceeds circle by circle. The game also includes pumpkin cultivation as part of its world and management systems.
