Description
In After the Empire, you're a medieval liege ruling your fiefdom, competing with neighboring lords and ladies for resources in the countryside. But when invaders sweep in from the east, old rivalries must be put aside to focus on the common enemy. This worker placement game challenges you to manage resources, build advanced buildings, and recruit refugees to prepare for the onslaught. As you alternate using worker tokens to take actions, you'll gather resources, harvest food, and prepare for combat. Invader cards bring a randomized threat, and only the wealthiest castles will draw the attention of larger forces. You must repair your city, recruit and arm your troops quickly to stand a chance. The goal is to preserve your fiefdom and save up the most gold, protecting your life, wealth, and legacy at all costs in this economic and fighting game set in the medieval era.
