Rise of Kingdoms (officially Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade) is a free-to-play real-time strategy mobile game developed and published by Lilith Games. Players choose from over a dozen real-world civilizations — including Rome, China, France, Japan, and others — each offering unique troops, architecture, and a special commander unit tied to that culture's history.\n\nThe core gameplay blends city-building with large-scale real-time warfare on a shared open-world map. Players grow their cities, research technologies, train armies, and form alliances with other players to compete for territory, resources, and control of key map objectives. Combat occurs directly on the map rather than in isolated battle screens, making troop positioning and coordination meaningful.\n\nCommanders are a central feature — legendary historical figures like Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, and Joan of Arc are collected, leveled up, and deployed to lead armies. Multiplayer alliance warfare, including massive kingdom-vs-kingdom events, forms the endgame. The game is available on iOS, Android, and PC via an official emulator client.
