What is Empires & Allies

Empires & Allies is a military strategy and base-building game. Your island has been left in ruins and it is up to you to rebuild it: you put up houses, farms, production buildings and barracks, manage coins, wood, oil and ore, and grow your population and your level.

With the army, navy and air force you train you can take on the campaign battles and protect what you have built.

How the game plays

Five steps, in the same order the game teaches them to you.

  1. Rebuild your island

    Your island starts in ruins. Clear the land and put up houses, farms and production buildings from the build menu.

  2. Collect resources

    Buildings produce coins, wood, oil and ore over time. When something is ready, click it and it is added to your stock.

  3. Train your army

    Barracks prepare your ground troops. Each unit costs resources and takes a while to be ready.

  4. Add aircraft and ships

    Hangars and shipyards take your army to the air and the sea. The more varied it is, the further you get in the campaign.

  5. Defend your island

    Level up, complete missions and keep your defenses up to date to protect what you have built.

Your island's resources

You always see them at the top while you play.

  • Coins The basic currency: used to build, upgrade and train.
  • Wood Building material for many structures.
  • Oil Fuel for vehicles and machines.
  • Ore Metal needed for many buildings and units.
  • Energy Spent on many actions and recovers on its own over time.
  • Empire Points The game's special currency, used to speed things up and get items.
