New screens: Trade Empires

Eidos Interactive today released a group of new screenshots from its upcoming economic strategy game, Trade Empires. The new screens show off some of the different structures and locations that will be included in the game, along with some views of the game interface. Trade Empires will let players take control of a small caravan during ancient times. The goal is to build a vast transport and trade network that spans the world over the course of thousands of years. As new technology is developed, players will discover additional products to trade and new ways to transport those products. The game will include 15 episodes, each of which covers a specific time period, and it will feature more than 200 units and structures on detailed 3D maps.

Trade Empires is in development at San Francisco-based Frog City Software, the studio that created the Imperialism series, and it is scheduled for release later this year. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game.
