Description

Birth of the Empires (also known as BotE) is a turn-based 4X strategy game set in space in the style of classics such as Microprose's Master of Orion 2 or ST: Birth of the Federation. By choosing one of six major races aim is to gain control and supremacy over a part of the galaxy, either by diplomatic or military means. Further victory conditions are available at game start.

Earth, 2121: Spaceflight coming nearer and the third world war was long in the past, the future looks bright again for mankind. The whole universe with all its fascinating worlds, lifeforms, species and anomalies lies ahead of each brave man and woman aboard their starships eager to find new life, a new home and contact to whatever civilization there may be outside Earth system, to explore the unexplored, to encounter the unencountered.

Take command of one race during the beginning stages of their empire, but beware, there is more than one way leading to victory and each time, mastering it will be different. It will likely change and you are challenged to keep the balance within the galaxy quadrant or seize galactic power for your race and thereby establish your own "balance" in the galaxy!

I will update it as soon as questions arise.

WARNING: For best experience at least a 6" screen is recommended, else fonts and buttons might be too small.
WARNING #2: There is a new Option called "Enable Preload". If you had no issues before version 0.6.19 then you can safely enable it to make the UI snappier. If you had issues then DON'T enable it.
If you have enabled it by accident and your game doesn't starts please go into the device's Settings-Application Manager-Birth of the Empires and tap "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache". This will unfortunately also delete your savegames.

Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 4.2/5 based on 2K+ reviews

(*) is required

1 ★ How am I supposed to know how to do anything? Also Space Empires > Master of Orion

5 ★ I have finally re-established contact between all 6 tribes of Taroka! :D I reccomend making this an achievement. We'll call it "family reunion".

5 ★ I love game like these! Turn based strat game and space battle. I only wish there is multiplayer or hotseat battles. Still 5/5 for me.

5 ★ I always come back to the game no matter how long it's been and I love it every time it does take time to learn but it's worth it

5 ★ Entertaining. It's deep. I'd say it's hard to master, but it's not that easy to learn. Games are highly configurable, so you can customize the experience you want. I like the OST. I'd love to know their names to be able to listen to them. It is fun and engaging. Worth playing. I've sunk at least 30 or so hours into the game across accounts and platforms as of writing this.
