Even before we mention what Empires in Ruins is and why it is so, a few words about the current state of the game build.
The build available is a battle map-only beta (it has one map, one terrain, and none of the 4X or management part). It is still rough, but it has everything the final map engine will have in, minus a lot of polishing.
Having EVERYTHING in since the first start of the game might seem overwhelming, but at this stage we really need to test it all. Later on, in the game, you will unlock progressively towers, abilities, new enemies, etc.
What we would now really need from you guys is feedback. All sort of it, about everything, and if you like what we did here, join our community so to come along with us in the last months of work to get Empires in Ruins finally done.

The GAME
The bastard child of 4X and Tower defense, with a black humor infused plot, set in a grim, disillusioned world.
Empire In Ruins presents a new take at strategy by merging the Tower Defense genre's detailed, recognizable gameplay with elements of Turn-Based Empire Management, in a hybrid never before seen.
Conquer, build, defend and lead the grumpy Sgt. Hans Heimer in his own personal vendetta against "the system".
KEY FEATURES
Plot driven campaign - betrayals, diplomacy and nasty twists
Turn based strategy - quell the rebellion, kick back the enemy and restore the law.
Empire management - conquer back the provinces, strengthen your command, chose your best governors and grant your military campaign a steady flow of resources
Arcade play mode. Because... FIGHT!
Tower defense-based combat - fight your battles in a new, advanced tower defense style that winks at advanced real time strategy
Dark humor, dark humor everywhere! - Don't smile, it's punishable.
