Alter
Empires
The game to rewrite history and conquer the old world. A grand strategy board game of conquest, alliances, and legacy.
A New HistoryThe year is the early 13th century, but not as we know it. Civilizations from the Americas have flourished, developing advanced agriculture, technology, and armies. Now, Emperors launch expeditions eastward, seeking to expand into Europe’s fractured kingdoms. Rival Emperors, each with unique strengths and ambitions, will challenge your rise. Only one will forge an empire that stands the test of time.
Become the ruler of a unique civilization from 13th century Americas
Each player has its own Emperor, lore, and special bonus. These asymmetrical powers shape your playstyle. Civilizations thrive on varying combinations of overwhelming force, resource mastery, and defensive prowess.
Choosing a civilization isn’t just cosmetic; it defines your path to victory. From the first roll of the dice to the final conquest, your Emperor’s strengths will guide your empire’s destiny across the Old World.
Territories drawn from the real borders of the 1200s.
The map of Alter Empires is shaped by the real empires and kingdoms of medieval Europe, from the Holy Roman Empire to the fractured crowns of France, England, and beyond. Each territory’s strength reflects the power of its historical counterpart, but no prior knowledge of history is needed as this merely serves as immersive lore for your conquests.
Every match unfolds differently, driven by the mix of civilizations you command, real-life–inspired events that reshape the board, diverse starting ports, and the unique development paths each Emperor chooses. No two games will ever tell the same story.
