Just because you’re close to another power doesn’t make it your friend.
Feral Interactive has been porting The Creative Assembly’s historical strategy titles to iOS for some time now, and has finally arrived at 2009’s Empire, the most up to date of the games in terms of its setting. The empire in question is an 18th century European or Asian one, rather than Galactic, Cylon or Idiran, and it’s a game of massed musket barrages, cannons, naval battles, and the very real possibility of cavalry charging with war elephants.
