Rising Generals Is the New Strategy Game From Bruce Shelley and the Makers of Tribal Wars

Rising Generals is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online strategy game from German strategy specialists InnoGames that runs across iOS, Android, and your browser. Playing a little like a modern combat variant of Risk (only one in which there are up to 40,000 players on a single map), it is designed to be a faster-paced game than previous offerings from the studio such as Forge of Empires or Tribal Wars. Despite this attention to speed, the game is no less deep than the studio's other titles, and has a strong focus on research and unit variety as players battle each other for dominance over the huge map.

Of note to strategy game fans is that legendary game designer Bruce Shelley is on board as a consultant for the project. Shelley is strategy game design royalty. He's the man responsible for Railroad Tycoon and Age of Empires, and he worked with Sid Meier on the original Civilization.

There will be a beta of the game this summer, and you can sign up to be a part of that here.
