You play against real people – others like you! Welcome to a medieval world way beyond your wildest dreams!

Let us show you how to play Imperia Online - In Short!
Where are you?

- You are located on a huge continent that has room for more than 40,000 Empires.
- Every Empire has a total of 25 available provinces, waiting to be colonized.
- No player can control foreign lands.
- Buildings and research cannot be destroyed or taken away.

What do you have in the beginning?

All players start with 1 colonized province with a village in it.
It can be explored from the village by pointing each building:
Townhall Farm Lumbermill Iron mine Stone quarry Transport station Barracks Fortress Academy Bank Market Tavern


















Lumber mill

- Turns the raw wood from the forest into a building material.
- The more people are hired in it - the more wood will be produced.

First steps

- Keep your population increasing, by building farms.
- Build at least 5-6 levels of lumber mills.
- Hire all your workers to produce wood.
- Build at least 4-5 levels of Granaries.
- After building your 4th level farm, start level 1 Fortress.
- Fortress 1 leads to University 1 and then - Architecture 1.
- Research Trade.
- Remember: University decreases the price of all researches, Architecture - of all buildings.

What then?

- Developing the economy will help you support armies when needed.
- Colonizing new province is a priority.
- Colonizing new province requires Centralization 1 and 500 archers or spearman, which will be new province's first settlers.

Description

Need for Speed Undercover has players racing through speedways, dodging cops and chasing rivals as they go deep undercover to take down an International crime syndicate. The new game heralds the return of high-intensity police chases and introduces the all-new ‘Heroic Driving Engine’ -- a unique technology that generates incredible high-performance moves at 180 miles per hour during breathtaking highway battles.

A mix of stunning computer graphics and live-action movies will immerse gamers in the rich world of the Tri-City Bay Area. The city’s open-world environment features over 80 miles of roads, including an enormous highway system that sets the stage for heart-pounding highway battles. These high-speed, high-stake chase sequences will push players to the limit as they fight off cops and opponents while whipping through traffic at 180 miles per hour.

An intelligent new A.I. mechanic delivers a realistic and high-energy action driving experience. Going back to the franchise’s roots, Need for Speed Undercover features more aggressive and intelligent cops whose sole purpose is to take down the player quickly and by any means necessary. Need for Speed Undercover also features the series’ signature car customization, real-world damage and realistic driving physics. The game includes some of the hottest licensed cars such as the Audi R8, BMW M6 and Lexus IS-F.
