Using explorers, settlers and mercenary soldiers under your command, you work to carve a nation out of this hostile wilderness. Build colonies, explore virgin territory and search for new rivers, mountains and natural resources, as you fight to protect your emerging nation from the constant threat of attack and natural disaster.
Knowing when to act and when to stay your hand is crucial as you steer a course through the greed and malice behind shifting alliances and broken treaties. Only through a perfect balance of diplomacy, exploration, trade and warfare can you build the ultimate nation and experience the true power of total conquest.
