Empire Forge: Idle Builder

Empire Forge is an idle builder and town builder where you raise a small hamlet into a royal capital. Place buildings on your 5×5 town grid, merge buildings of the same kind to raise their tier, and watch your settlement climb through five ages of history — earning coins the whole time, even while you are away. It plays like a relaxed city builder with a merge at its heart. Houses, Farms, Workshops, Markets and Towers each earn coins every minute, and merging two of a kind is free and always an upgrade. Where you place things matters, too: a building set beside a different type earns a +25% synergy bonus, so a thoughtful layout pays better than a crowded one. YOUR TOWN WORKS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Offline earnings keep your town producing for up to 8 hours while the app is closed. Come back to an earnings report, collect your coins, claim a daily bonus on top, and decide what to build or merge next. BUILD, MERGE, ADVANCE THROUGH FIVE AGES • 5 building types across 5 tiers each, from simple Stone Age shelters to a Royal capital • Five eras to climb: Stone, Bronze, Iron, Castle and Royal — each unlocking new buildings and army units • Citizen quests that pay coin contracts for building, merging and battling TRAIN AN ARMY, RAID THE CAMPS An idle builder with something to spend strength on: train Spearmen, Archers and Knights, then take on the Goblin Camp, Orc Warband, Bandit Fort and Dragon Roost. Battle strength is shown up front before you commit, victory pays the stated loot, and the camps rebuild stronger each time you clear them. Defeat costs one unit, never your town or your progress. SPEND COINS HONESTLY Every purchase shows the cost, your purse, and your balance after, and Confirm stays disabled until you can afford it. No pop-ups spend for you. There are no purchases and no pay-to-win. Bright storybook art and gentle chimes keep the pace calm — a town that grows at your speed.
