Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom is the sixth title in the City Building Series. BreakAway Games was contracted for Emperor after having previously worked on Queen of the Nile. Emperor is the last of the series to use the same 2D-sprite game engine as seen in the earlier titles, and the first to introduce a multiplayer option.
Not unlike the earlier games, Emperor focuses on the building and development of a city in ancient times, this time Ancient China, from the Xia Dynasty (2033 BC) to the Song-Jin dynasties (1234 AD).
Game mechanics[edit]
The most basic task in each mission is to maintain the city. This involves keeping the populace well-fed, healthy, and safe from hazards. If food and basic goods and services are provided in abundance, the city will eventually improve. Beyond this, the player must manage trade and taxes in order to fund further development and expansion.
In the meantime, the player may elect to make offerings to the ancestral heroes. Principally, offerings are made to appease the heroes and prevent them from becoming angry and inflicting disasters upon the city. But heroes can also be made very happy, which can prompt them to visit the city and confer benefits to it.
Beyond the city itself, the player must pay heed to rivals and enemies. Troops and guards are necessary to protect the city from military invasions and subterfuge. The player can build defensive walls and man them with archers for improved defense.
Eventually, the player may be required to build monuments, which are costly both in time and materials, giving enemies an opportunity to take advantage of possible weaknesses. As such, building a monument generally requires that the city first establish a strong economy and military.
Campaign[edit]
The seven campaigns of Emperor span nearly 3300 years of classical Chinese history, from the Xia Dynasty to the Jin dynasty. Notable monuments that can be built include the Great Wall of China, the Grand Canal connecting the Yellow and Yangzi Rivers, and the Terracotta Army. In the first campaign, the player is simply a humble village elder, in charge of leading a nomadic tribe to settle down along the river. In the final levels, the player is servant to the Emperor of China, and oversees the construction of the Imperial capital Zhongdu (modern-day Beijing) and fortifying its defense to foil the invading Mongols and their leader, Genghis Khan.
Foodstuffs, technologies, and religions evolve over the centuries, closely matching the actual history of Chinese culture. Because players serve several dynasties and Emperors throughout the game, they will not always be building the same city. Often, they will be sent to build up a new city, or be sent back to a previous city to accomplish a new goal. In some cases, a city may be revisited after centuries have passed, having changed dramatically or fallen into ruins during the intervening years.
Players may play the campaigns in any order they choose, though the difficulty level ramps up parallel to the chronology. Often the objectives involve producing a set amount of a commodity, conquering other cities, achieving a certain population level, or building a monument.

Housing Block Essay
The New Kingdom
The first thing that you need to do is place roads. The example below contains a 58-tile loop (24 tiles x 7 tiles) and a 9-tile access road.
The loop doesn't have to be rectangular. Sometimes it is necessary to adapt the layout to accommodate the terrain. The shortest walk by the service providing structures limits the number of road tiles that can be in the loop. For Emperor, the shortest walk is 30 tiles by the Herbalist and Acupuncturist. When walkers reach their limit, they will take the shortest path (by road) back to the building that generated them. With a 58-tile loop, the shortest path is to complete the loop and thereby provide service to all of the houses in the block. If the loop is too large, the service walkers will reverse direction a leave the remainder of the block uncovered.
I want this Housing Block to be a very desirable neighborhood so that I can evolve the houses to Luxury Apartments (the highest level of common housing). To improve the desirability of the area, I chose to build Grand Ways over the roads in the loop. At this time, I also placed a Residential Gate to prevent my service walkers from leaving the block. I chose a Residential Gate instead of a Roadblock because I can set it 'open' to allow access by Market Employees. It is a good idea to set the Gate as soon as you place it, so that you don't forget to change it later.
The disadvantage of using Grand Ways to increase the desirability of the area is that they have to be in place before you can add houses and support structures around the outer perimeter of the loop. This is a high initial expense, which can be a problem if money is short. A double row of Gardens will generate the same desirability as a Grand Way, and Gardens can be added later when the city is making a profit. The disadvantages of Gardens are that they take up more space and, in the long run, they will cost more than the Grand Ways.
