Experience the future of large-scale MMO gameplay by joining the Anvil Empires demo, available for a limited time. Whether you’re helping construct a frontier town, establishing vital trade routes, or leading a siege on enemy fortifications, your actions have a lasting impact in a world that never resets.
What is Anvil Empires about?
Take command of catapults, battering rams, and siege towers in Anvil Empires as you march alongside an army of real players—or man the ramparts for a desperate last stand behind your Keep’s crumbling walls. This is warfare on a scale rarely seen in online gaming, where strategy, logistics, and coordination define the path to victory.
Build settlements and grow them from small hamlets into large bustling towns shared by dozens if not hundreds of players. Engage in farming, hunting, husbandry and more to support the war effort. Trade with nearby player settlements to further optimize your economy. Design and build elaborate, multi-level keeps and fortresses for withstanding prolonged sieges.
Play in a large-scale game of conquest that takes weeks to play out. Wage war alongside thousands of players across a persistent online world. Custom server technology enables up to 1000 players to fight shoulder to shoulder in a massive real-time melee battle. Battles are organically instigated by players in an open-world sandbox.
Establish supply camps and logistics lines to keep player armies well fed, armed, and rested. Battles are won through strength of arms and require a strong economy and supply chain. Build siege camps in preparation for large-scale assaults on enemy strongholds. Construct equipment like siege ladders and battering rams to breach fortified walls and keep.
