Civilizations in Empires break down into nine groups. The first five civilizations exist from 950 A.D. to 1900 A.D., which covers the first three epochs (The Medieval Age, the Gunpowder Age, and the Imperial Age). The other five civilizations roughly cover the years 1900 A.D. to 1950 A.D., which is during the epochs World War I and World War II.

Early Civilizations[edit]

  • Franks- Faster workers, free farms and granaries, able to have more miners per mine, stone is gathered faster, peasants and Town Centers have large line of sight, walls are harder to destroy, troops can move quickly between fortresses, all French buildings and soldiers automatically heal themselves, all French people can cross through forests, soldiers come out of destroyed buildings, People can garrison towers, and peasants can become soldiers.
  • Korea- Korean civilizations start with extra citizens, buildings are built faster, Gold is mined faster, Fishing boats work faster, hunting is faster, battleships can transport military units, siege weapons are more precise, one Korean citizen is added for every enemy citizen killed, soldiers can use martial arts to increase speed and attack, soldiers can become veterans, and soldiers can become attack resistant after being near a temple.
  • England- Citizens are stronger, have more life than usual, and 15 points of resources. England starts with more resources, food warehouses generate food, buildings are automatically built, resources are marked at the beginning of a game, mining camps automatically mine resources, ranged units can hit moving targets, cannons can fire forward or up, enemy artillery can be taken if nearby troops are killed or destroyed, one ship can be a flagship which fires destructive heated shot, town centers can raise the fog of war in an area for a certain amount of time, and spike pits can be placed to kill enemies.

China starts with two town centers, but has zero citizens, and China's commoners collect food faster. All military soldiers are trained at war camps, battleships transport military units, commoners build siege weapons, and commoners can ring forth heavy rains to slow down enemies.
