Rise of Kingdoms

Rise of Kingdoms is a real-time strategy game where you guide one of 14 historical civilisations from a lone clan into a great power. Command historical figures like Julius Caesar, Sun Tzu, and Joan of Arc as your commanders on a seamless world map. Real-time combat, alliance systems, and territory control are at the heart of this deep strategy game. Join alliances to participate in massive kingdom-vs-kingdom wars.

Rise of Kingdoms is one of the most successful mobile RTS games for a reason. The seamless zoom from a world map overview down to individual city views is still impressive. Real-time combat control allows for actual tactical maneuvers like flanking and baiting, which makes alliance wars highly engaging. Free-to-play progression is possible but requires active participation in a top alliance to stay competitive.

Choose your starting civilisation carefully — China is excellent for building speed bonuses, while Britain is great for alliance actions. Focus on upgrading your City Hall to unlock higher tier troops. Join an active alliance immediately to benefit from help speed-ups and alliance resource territories. Pair your commanders strategically, matching a primary commander with high skill damage with a secondary support commander.
