What is Medieval Empires?
Medieval Empires is a multiplayer online strategy game built on the Polygon blockchain by MoonGaming, a studio founded in 2021 and based in Dubai. It is set at the end of the 13th century in the territory of modern Türkiye, and draws its lore from the historical figure Ertuğrul Gazi, leader of the Kayi Turkic tribe. The setting places the Kayi against other powers of the period, including crusader forces associated with the future Edward I of England, and the Mongols. The game is developed in Unity and is planned for Windows PC and Mac alongside mobile builds for iOS and Android, with a browser-based "Show Room" experience built using WebAssembly and WebGL.
How to play Medieval Empires
Players settle a city and expand it by constructing and upgrading buildings, researching technologies, gathering and crafting resources, recruiting heroes, and raising armies. Roles are flexible: a player can develop primarily as a warrior, a clan leader, or a merchant, and clans can be formed for cooperative play. Progression is driven by story quests, neutral tasks, and daily missions. The journey begins in a PvE zone, with more aggressive PvE and PvP modes presented as optional rather than mandatory.
Medieval Empires tokenomics & earning
The economy uses two assets: Silver, an in-game currency, and MEE, a utility token on Polygon with a total supply of 3,000,000,000, distributed through public sales in December 2022. MEE is used for premium content, upgrades and skills, land rent, and player-to-player taxes, and carries voting rights. Land is sold as NFTs, and depending on tier a land NFT contains between 4 and 16 city slots, which the owner may rent to other players. Land held this way cannot be conquered or taken from its owner, and owners can tax players who build, gather, craft, or loot on their plot.
Is Medieval Empires worth playing?
The design favours players who enjoy long-form city-building and empire management rather than fast action, and the ownership layer mainly benefits landholders, since renting and taxation depend on owning a land NFT. Feature availability and build status have shifted since launch, so the official website and whitepaper are the appropriate places to confirm what is currently playable.
