Era of Conquest Enters a Closed Beta Test

Era of Conquest is getting a closed beta in mid-July 2022. The 4X real-time strategy game has so far only been available in mainland China and is now gearing up to release globally. In case you're not up on the lingo, 4X means that the game contains elements of exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination.

Not only has it reached the number 1 spot on the iOS download charts, but it's also appeared as a featured app several times on the front page of the App Store. Needless to say, it's rare for a game to get that sort of reception. Later this year, once the closed beta test is done and dusted, Era of Conquest will land on Steam, Google Play, and the App Store in a ton of countries all over the world.

At the beginning of the game you'll get to choose your civilization. There are ten to choose from, including Britain, France, Germany, the Vikings, and the Arabs. You will play as a lord who has fallen on hard times. The entire goal of the game is to recover your lost status by outmanoeuvring, outwitting, and outfighting your human rivals. 
Each combat is real-time, and up to 6,000 soldiers can be shown on one screen.Players from all around the world can fight against each other in the same server, too. To make this possible, Era of Conquest boasts support for 19 different languages.

It's cross-platform, too, meaning Android, iOS, and PC/Steam gamers can all play together in the same place at the same time, wherever they are in the world. 
When you're not fighting in Era of Conquest, you're constructing command posts, fortresses, and other strategically significant buildings to aid in the consolidation of your territorial victories. Moreover, in order to claim resources and expand your territory across the map, you'll need to explore your surroundings.

Any troops you lose in battle will be gradually replenished thanks to an automatic conscription process. And conscription boxes, which you may get by participating in PvP battles, can speed up this process.What you can't do is buy up conscription boxes with money or resources. Paying to get ahead is not an option. 

That's a pretty appealing prospect in this day and age. You'll be able to see Era of Conquest in action later this year. Or in mid-July if you're lucky enough to join the closed beta test.
