Abandoned empire
An Empire belonging to an inactive player, who hasn't logged into his account for a period of 168 hours. Abandoned empires are subdivided into two types: abandoned empires still producing resources - marked with a chest full of gold, and declining empires - marked with an empty chest. All abandoned empires with active production turn into declining empires when 168 hours have passed from the beginning of their inactiveness. Declining empires stop producing resources.
The travel time to an abandoned empire cannot be less than 2.5 minutes.
There are no limitations of net worth points range for attacks upon abandoned empires. However, no military points and/or honor points are won under any circumstances.
If your account turns into an abandoned empire, don't think it is pointless to return at some point at all. Every player who has got back to his Empire from an absence of at least 2 weeks receives the following generous welcoming gifts so he could easily take up where he has left off:
- all destroyed fortresses are automatically repaired;
- all current happiness values are set at maximum;
- the Empire is under a Welcome back protection, which implies that you can neither be attacked nor send attacks to other players for 48 hours;
- you have the unique right to take the 48 hour production of your Empire for free.
Academy of Military Sciences
The symbol of knowledge and enlightenment along with the Military University. The Academy of Military Sciences is available in the Capital, exclusively, and its first level can be built after level 20 of Military University. It decreases the research time by 2 times per level from the basic time, therefore 1 level of Academy of Military Sciences has the effect of 4 levels of Military University on the research time. The Military Technologies available in the Military University building are also present in the Academy of Military Sciences. Only their price will be 50% more expensive, the research time twice shorter and you will receive half the net worth points in return for the spent resources. Science officer's Academy of Military Sciences level does not influence Alliance Technologies.

Alliance Reinforcements
An alliance mechanic, which allows players to send armies to help their allies. Sent armies automatically fight alongside the receiver's troops.
• Reinforcements can be sent only between players participating in the same alliance. Alliance novices can't send or receive reinforcements until they are approved as full-time members.
• Reinforcements can be sent only to provinces and colonies. Reinforcements can be sent only from provinces.
• The upkeep of reinforcements is paid by the receiver while they are deployed on his side. While travelling the upkeep of reinforcements is paid by the sender.
• Reinforcements join the troops of the receiver (if he has any) and participate in battle alongside them as a whole army. Generals can not be sent as reinforcement.
• Reinforcements participate in battle with the battle technologies of the receiver. There is no requirement for the receiver to have higher class units unlocked in order to receive them as reinforcement. I.e. a player who has only light units unlocked can receive elite units as reinforcement, but they fight with his lower levels of technologies.
• Losses from reinforcements are calculated proportionally according to the ratio of participating soldiers of the receiver and participating soldiers from reinforcements. For example: in a single battle there are 1000 swordsmen of the receiver and 2000 swordsmen from reinforcement, for a total of 3000 swordsmen. In the battle the losses amount for a total of 600 swordsmen and these losses are divided as follows - 200 from the receiver and 400 from the reinforcement.
• The recovery of lost units from reinforcements are based on the recovery percentage of the receiver.
• The receiver can not move reinforcements to a holding different than the one they were sent in. He also can't use them in attack. Reinforcements can not be deployed inside of a garrison.
• Reinforcements can be recalled by the sender at any time. Reinforcements can be sent back by the receiver at any time. When there are less than 5 seconds remaining till a battle reinforcements can neither be recalled, nor sent back.
• Reinforcement auto-return to their sender in the following cases:
- if the receiver does not have enough gold for their upkeep (goes into negative gold);
- if the receiver or sender leave the alliance;
- if the receiver activates Vacation Mode;
- if the receiver or sender are blocked by the administration;
- if the holding in which they are deployed gets destroyed.
• Reinforcements are visible in spy reports but their sender is anonymous.
- Аn ally can receive an army worth no more than 50% of his net points.
- Аn ally can send an army in reinforcements worth no more than 50% of the gold equivalent of his entire available army.
- Тhere is a limit to the number of reinforcements sent and received at the same time; you can send an army to support only one ally, and take advantage of the military support of only one of the members of the alliance at a time. It is not possible to receive or send more than one reinforcement mission at the same time.
You can send reinforcements from the options next to each ally in Alliance -> Members menu. After that they can be managed from your Command center.
Alliance standings

Annexed province
A territory conquered by the player and over which he has full rights - to construct, produce resources, exact taxes, recruit soldiers, order attacks, etc. In order to annex, a vacant Centralization level is required. There are two types of annexed provinces - from independent cities and from empty terrains. The annexed independent cities maintain their preset buildings and population. Any troops present in the fortress siege disappear along with the available resources. You can annex both free terrains and independent cities peacefully. If you wish you can also attack and annex an independent city but then buildings will drop one level down. The annexation of vassals is also possible.

Archery Line
Battle Line.
The Archery Line is the Priority Deployment of all Archer units. It always deploys behind the Frontline and units in this Line have 1 to 3 preliminary attacks, before Melee battle begins.
During Field Battle, the Archery Line is divided into three Divisions: Center and two Flanks. Different types of Archers are proportionally deployed across the three Divisions.
Troop Divisions in the Archery Line can only be engaged in Melee after the Frontline Division in front of them has been destroyed. Destroying a player's Archery Line Division with your Melee troops grants the opportunity for a Flanking Attack against his remaining Frontline Divisions.
During both Fortress Assault and Battle with garrison, the attacking Archers are compounded into an Archery Line with no Divisions.
During both Fortress Assault and Battle with garrison, the defending Archers do not form an Archery Line, but are a part of the defender's Frontline instead.
Archers that deplete their ammo will maintain their position at the Archery line and will only enter battle again if engaged by enemy Melee units.

Army donation
Military units granted to the alliance by its members and sent via Global map to a Rally point or an Alliance castle. The troops become alliance property at the moment they are unloaded and the net worth points won from the recruitment are removed from donator’s current net worth points and are added to alliance value points. Once donated, the troops cannot be recalled.
For more information about alliance army donation click here.
Army Drills
A research which increases initial Morale value in defense and in attack. 1 Morale point per level.
Army queue
Adding training groups in a queue in case the player runs out of barracks vacancies, but still has free groups, allowed by the Military Doctrine level. The groups will get trained one after another. If you dispose of enough resources and population you can recruit and/or upgrade all your remaining free groups at once, but don't forget they will still be queued. The first training group of the queue in the same province and the same barracks can be instantly trained for diamonds. Every group below 6 remaining hours requires 170 diamonds. Instantly training one group implies recalculation of the other queued groups' remaining times.
NB! Army queue is not available while the Empire is under attack*.
*There is the following exception: This option is unlocked under attack when there is a drastic difference between the golden equivalent of the attacker's army and the gold equivalent of the net worth points of the defender.
Army relocation
Sending units from one province/colony/military post to another. There are two ways of moving the army: with buttons "Move to garrison" and "Move to field". The first button sends the selected units in descending order of upkeep, filling in automatically the garrisons of the selected provinces/colonies/military posts. The second button distributes the selected units proportionally through the fields of the selected provinces/colonies/military posts.
NB! The defender cannot relocate troops to and from the province under attack if less than 5 seconds are left until the impact.
Army safe
Sending the army on a long-distance mission to an abandoned empire (recommended), own far away colony (also recommended), active player's or abandoned Empire during the time you plan to be offline. It aims to save it from undesired enemy raids while you are away. Before leaving the Empire to have some well-deserved rest, send the army on travel for the exact time you intend to be offline, considering traveling time in both directions. In this way you won't have to spend extra gold on army upkeep on a mission. If you have a huge amount of resources stashed in your Empire which you are not able to spend at once but you don't want to risk leaving them unprotected you can gather all resources in the capital and leave your army there. This is in case you are sure there is no one with army capable to win against yours.
In Game of Emperors there is also a special option called Evasion which allows you to send your army away for the desired time without selecting a specific target.
Army Specialization
The personal army can be specialized in the building of the Imperial Higher Military Academy which is located next to the barracks in the village. There you have the opportunity to specialize the army by upgrading basic statistics or adding new specific skills. The specialization of each of the 4 main unit types (spearmen, archers, swordsmen, cavalry) is divided into 15 levels, which simultaneously affect the 4 classes (light, heavy, elite and heroic). In 12 of those 15 levels you will be able to improve a basic statistic of spearmen, archers, swordsmen and cavalry by choosing from enhanced attack, hit points or army upkeep. In 2 levels you will be able to enhance an existing special skill of the chosen unit or to grant it a completely new skill that is typical of another type of unit.
Once the maximum level of the Higher Military Academy for each unit is reached and the required research for an elite army of that type is available, the option to train a heroic unit is unlocked.
Once a heroic unit is unlocked, the bonuses from army specialization apply to the heroic class as well.
Siege engines can be specialized in 10 levels. When specializing siege engines you can choose from enhanced attack, hit points and army speed for all 10 levels. There are no heroic siege engines available.
The alliance army can be specialized in the Alliance menu, tab Technologies, menu Army Specialization. The specialization of alliance army affects the units in the alliance army of the alliance, it doesn't grant bonuses to the personal armies of the alliance members. The specialization of alliance army is divided into 10 levels for each of the 5 main unit types (spearmen, archers, swordsmen, cavalry and siege engines) which simultaneously affect the 4 classes (light, heavy, elite and heroic. In 8 of those 10 levels you can improve a basic statistic of spearmen, archers, swordsmen and cavalry by choosing from enhanced attack, hit points or army upkeep. In the remaining 2 levels you can enhance an existing special skill of the chosen unit or to grant it a completely new skill that is typical of another type of unit. When specializing siege engines you will be able to choose from enhanced attack, hit points and army speed for all 10 levels.
You can specialize more than one type of unit. The price is in 1 type of resource which will change for each next level. Specializing is not instantaneous and there is time needed before you will be granted the option to choose an enhanced statistic or skill. The chosen statistic or skill can be changed at any time in exchange for diamonds. After changing a statistic or a skill for diamonds, 12 hours must pass before the next change for diamonds can be made.
It is important to emphasize that specialization increases the base value of the chosen statistic which is then affected by all other modifiers like technologies, terrain, great people, etc.
Artillery (Army Unit Type)
Artillery is a type of Ranged Siege Engines. According to their profile, they may prioritize as target either the enemy Fortress or their Army Units. Artillery units are always deployed on the Artillery Line.
During Fortress Assault, the Artillery units that can simultaneously attack the Fortress are subject to an Artillery Assault Limit. The limit depends on the level of the attacked Fortress: the greater that level is, the more siege engines can attack it simultaneously. The Artillery Assault Limit is filled with units in descending order of Attack rating.
The Artillery Assault Limit for Level 1 Fortress is 4 Artillery units, and this number generally doubles for each incremental level of Fortress.
Common Unit Abilities:
+ Long Range
+ Scattershot
The currently existing Artillery units are:
- Catapult
- Ballista
- Trebuchet
Artillery Assault Limit
The Artillery Assault Limit determines the maximum number of Artillery Siege Engines in the Artillery Line that can attack a particular Fortress simultaneously during a Fortress Assault.
The Artillery Assault Limit prioritizes Siege Engines in the attacker's Artillery Line in descending order of Attack rating.
For personal fortresses, the Artillery Assault Limit is fixed and entirely depends on the level of the attacked Fortress, as follows:
Level 1 Fortress: 4 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 2 Fortress: 8 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 3 Fortress: 15 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 4 Fortress: 30 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 5 Fortress: 60 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 6 Fortress: 125 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 7 Fortress: 250 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 8 Fortress: 500 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 9 Fortress: 1 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 10 Fortress: 2 000 Artillery Assault Limit
For alliance fortresses, the Artillery Assault Limit is fixed and entirely depends on the level of the attacked Fortress, as follows:
Level 1 Fortress: 80 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 2 Fortress: 160 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 3 Fortress: 300 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 4 Fortress: 600 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 5 Fortress: 1 200 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 6 Fortress: 2 500 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 7 Fortress: 5 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 8 Fortress: 10 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 9 Fortress: 20 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 10 Fortress: 40 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Level 11 Fortress: 80 000 Artillery Assault Limit
Artillery Line
Battle Line.
The Artillery Line is the Priority Deployment of all Artillery Siege Engines. It always deploys as the hindmost Battle Line and units in this Line have 2 to 3 preliminary attacks, before Melee battle begins.
The Artillery Line always compounds all the Artillery units of both the attacker and the defender; it has no Divisions.
During Fortress Assault, the defender's Battering Rams are deployed in the Artillery Line and remain inert. During Field Battle and Battle with garrison, all the Battering Rams of both the attacker and the defender are deployed in the Artillery Line and remain inert.
Ask a player
It is the place where players can report bugs or any irregularities, ask questions and clear doubts out.
Assassination
Emperors who have attained the trait Disgraceful can be killed by the player, meaning that the successor will ascend to the throne immediately. In order for the option to be unlocked there is also another condition: the Emperor must have at least one grandchild.
Assault Limit
The Assault Limits determine the maximum number of units of a particular type that can attack a Fortress simultaneously during a Fortress Assault. The Assault Limits depend on the attacked Fortress' level, and as such may vary.
The currently active Assault Limits are:
- Infantry Assault Limit
- Demolitions Assault Limit
- Artillery Assault Limit
Assault Line
Battle Line.
The Assault Line is only formed during a Fortress Assault. It is composed of Battering Rams and Melee Infantry troops which attempt to bring down the enemy Fortress walls, while being shot at by Garrisoned Archers and Towers.
The Melee Infantry troops that can attack simultaneously in the Assault Line are subject to Infantry Assault Limit: a limit equal to 3 times the Base Garrison of the attacked Fortress. Melee Infantry above that limit is deployed on the Frontline, where it will await to replace any losses in the Assault Line.
The Assault Line Infantry composition prioritizes Swordsmen over Spearmen; units of the same type are prioritized in descending order of Attack rating. Cavalry is never included in the Assault Line.
The Battering Rams that can attack simultaneously in the Assault Line are subject to Demolitions Assault Limit: a limit equal to 3 times the Base Garrison of the attacked Fortress, divided by the Operating Crew of the attacking Siege Engines. Battering Rams above that limit are deployed on the Frontline, where they will await to replace any losses in the Assault Line.
The Assault Line troops are subject to Hit Points penalty according to the enemy Moat level.
Assault Line and Frontline troops share the same Morale; if the Assault Line is Routed, so will be the entire Frontline. If the enemy Fortress id destroyed, Fortress Sacking begins: all the remaining Assault Line Infantry joins the attacker's Frontline, all the remaining Battering Rams return to the Artillery Line.
Attack
1. The military interaction between two players, between two alliance armies or between a player and independent cities. The attack ordered by one player and targeted to another implies the conduction of three types of battles: Fortress Siege, Field battle and Pillage, and it's visible for the defender right after having been ordered, in case it lasts for less than 60 minutes, and 60 minutes before the impact, in case mission time is more than an hour. The attack ordered by the leader of one alliance and targeted to engage another alliance army implies the conduction of either Fortress siege or Field battle. The defender will see the attack right after it's been sent. The attack ordered by a player targeting an independent city is subdivided into three types according to the final aim of the attack: attack for annexing, for turning into a vassal and fortress siege for looting resources.
NB! The attacker cannot recall the army when less then 5 seconds are left until the impact.
2. Unit parameter determining the strength and the damage infliction of the unit. The attack of a certain unit type increases with accordance to the class – light, heavy, elite, and is boosted by Range attack and Melee attack levels and Premium. The units with the highest attack values, regardless the class, are all siege engines.
Attack for annexing
An option available by clicking on the respective independent city via Global map only if there is a vacant Centralization level. It sends the troops to fight in a Fortress siege battle against the independent city Fortress walls and garrison with the purpose of conquering the province and obtaining all the rights over it.
