Trade Empires is a strategy game that challenges the player to build and maintain a mercantile domain across dynamic world conditions that span the course of human history. By developing efficient and profitable trade routes and leveraging advantages to dominate any competition, the player gains wealth and power that allows further development and new advances. The game is broken into 15 episodes. As the world's civilization evolves, new technologies call for new goods and allow new means of distribution. Players must change with the times to exploit new markets, lest they end up a forgotten footnote in the pages of history. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
