Major Technical Update!
Hello Everyone,
Circle Empires Rivals has received a major technical update.
We have switched the service provider from Improbable to Amazon Gamelift. A lot has changed under the hood. The update should now be live and up and running.
This change has taken place because Improbable shut down its game server branch.
There are small changes to starting a new multiplayer game. When creating a new lobby, players now choose between co-op and pvp mode, set the name for the lobby, and can optionally set a password. These settings can not be updated once the lobby has been created due to limitations on Gamelift.
If you find any strange issues related to multiplayer, please let us know on Discord or our other social media channels!
There's nothing better than a fair scrap between two balanced forces, right? Wrong! Introducing the all-new cheat menu for Circle Empires Rivals! Ever wanted to trample over your foes with an army of 300 max-level knights? Easy. Defend a single circle from an armada of dragons? Now you can!
And that's not the only good news. You can pick up Circle Empires Rivals at 55% off during our weeklong sale!
When you create a game lobby, click on the advanced button. In this menu, tick the box that says Ingame cheats are allowed.
Once in game, place your storehouse as you normally would. After this, you'll notice a new button has popped up next to your usual unit and structure buttons.
Using this menu, you can spawn anything your heart desires, and for any faction!
First, select who you want to spawn the unit for. You can choose between monsters, hostile empires, barbarians, bandits, and of course yourself. Next, you can fill in how many units you want to spawn.
Pick a unit from the list, or search for it in the search bar, then all you need to do is click on a circle and watch the magic happen!
How many units can you spawn with it? A lot.
You can now answer the age-old question of: "can a level 3 swordsman win against 300 poison zombies?" The answer, as you might expect, is no.
Multiplayer?
Yes, the spawning menu is also available in multiplayer! Play with your friends and spawn massive armies to defeat. In multiplayer, the host can enable cheats in the same way as in single player, after which both players will have access to them.
Note that in multiplayer, spawns are limited by the population limit setting. This can be changed in the same advanced menu as the cheats.
That's all from us. Go out there and create some seriously epic battles, and please do share the insanity with us on Discord!
The time is NOW — Circle Empires Tactics is available on Steam!
Sharpen your swords and mount the horses, because this is Circle Empires unlike ever before! Flex your tactical muscles in single-player as you empower your army with various upgrades, or show your strategic superiority in multiplayer.
You can buy Circle Empires Tactics on Steam from today onwards for $14.99, with a 10% discount during the launch week. Plus, for our veteran players who own previous Circle Empires games, there will be an additional 15% off via bundle deals ON TOP of that!

[previewyoutube="QdRpOs-cf28;full"]
Circle Empires Tactics will offer a fresh spin on the Circle Empires series you know and love. CE Tactics is a simultaneous turn-based strategy game in which you will have to predict your opponent's moves, plan your own moves to counter them, then end the turn and watch the chaos unfold.
Features
Play three story-based single-player campaigns focused on Circle Empires’ ruling factions and uncover a gripping story where not everything is as it seems.
Level up your leader and gain new skills allowing you to implement different strategies throughout the campaign
Play with your friends in multiplayer co-op or challenge them for a game in PvP mode
Each faction has a variety of units and creatures, all with their own special abilities and traits, offering a dynamic playstyle and making every battle unique.
Choose the difficulty level that fits your experience (or ego), ranging from a new recruit to being a descendant of Sun Tzu. Circle Empires Tactics offers a wide range of difficulty levels for both single-player and co-op.
Did you play through all the campaigns? Or are you looking for a new challenge? Then have a go at the map editor and create your own scenario. Share it with friends via Steam Workshop.
