March of Empires - Tips, Tricks, and Strategies to Become a Great Leader

[Want to know if wrangling all these empires is worth it? Have a look at our March of Empires review.]

So, you’ve just downloaded March of Empires and you’ve got no clue what to do next. Don’t worry, we’re on hand with some useful tips and tricks on how to be the kind of leader that even Genghis Khan would be scared of.



Starting Out

  • Choose your faction carefully. Each of the factions offers different strengths, such as the Highland Kings’ focus on castles, and the Northern Czars’ speedy reactions. It’s a fairly personal choice and no one faction is better than the other, but you need to consider what kind of leader you want to be.
  • March of Empires does a great job of guiding you through the paces early on. Follow what it says in order to complete objectives equally and progress at a steady pace.
  • You can skip some building times for free, especially early on, so look out for when you can do this, thereby speeding things along.
  • Build everything you can but also focus on resource gathering. The more resources you have, the more you can build and develop.
  • Seasons affect things. For instance, summer boosts the speed of pretty much everything, including how quickly food regenerates. Plan accordingly and be ready to adapt when the season changes.
  • Keep busy at all times, yet balanced. Don’t focus on just one thing as you have to be an all rounder to succeed. There’s no point having a great army but a terrible set of city walls, for instance.
  • Complete quests and adventures regularly. They’re a great way to profit easily and your income will soar through this route. Adventures in particular are really easy to finish as you simply hit the button and leave the game to do the rest. There’s no reason not to do these.
  • Join an alliance quickly. You can ask for help in building things. Make sure you help others too though!
  • Keep active in your alliance, communicating often. If you get really involved in the politic of the game, things can get quite convoluted.
  • Research often. There are so many talent trees to follow here, so always take advantage of what’s on offer. Focus on military research early on but diversify as you progress. This is an ideal opportunity to further enhance what kind of empire you have.
  • Don’t spend gold coins till you know what you’re doing. It’s a waste of a premium currency otherwise.
  • In particular, don't use them for speeding things up. Just be patient and wait it out. Sometimes, you'll gain free speed ups. Save these for when you're really desperate.

Battling it out

  • Scout other players and locations near you. Check if they’re worth conquering.
  • Attack inactive areas often. It’s an easy win and these kind of games often have many inactive players within them.
  • Before going to battle, organize your troops properly. Plan formations accordingly and don’t place weak soldiers at the front.
  • Have a steady supply of troops at the ready. They’re great for farming abandoned areas as well as invading new territories.
