Echoes of Emperors

Volcaban Studios · 2025

Editing, German edition

A strategy title with some deckbuilding that models its factions on real-world civilisations and cultures in roughly the mid-to-late Middle Ages. It offers very high historical accuracy in terms of each civilisation’s available units and strategies. With resource management, unit- and terrain-specific movement rules and outpost and settlement construction, it packs a lot of strategy into a pretty manageable footprint. All units come with cards, each of which has a short footnote with a historical fact or anecdote. The translator and myself did a fair amount of terminology digging to get everything up to spec, plus adjusting the length of text passages (game and flavour) on the cards made for a challenge.
