~ Oriental Empires ~
Créé par des anciens de Créative Assembly et prévu pour cette année en Early Access, Oriental Empires est un 4X vous plongeant dans la Chine impériale (les developpeurs annonce que le jeu couvre la période de -1500 à 1500, avec au programme conquête de la chine en partant d'une simple tribu, gestion de l'empire et bataille tactiques dantesques avec des milliers d'unités a l'écran.
Le jeu se veut très réaliste et pourrait bien être le jeu de stratégie ultime sur la chine (thème qui est totalement sous-exploité dans les JV)
Le fait que les batailles se passent directement sur la carte du monde qui permet de zoomer sans transition jusqu'aux soldats a l'air particulièrement alléchant.
