About Circle Empires Rivals: Forces of Nature
Ancient beings have awoken to lay claim to our circles once more! From the depths come monsters befriended by the crafty merfolk. From the forests come the elves and their woodland allies. Searching for ways to optimize their warfare, these opposing forces harness magics of old - taming beasts to do their bidding, and building structures that will instantly transform the land.
Now that power rests within you! Play as two new leaders and control their unique factions. Recruit special units - a wide array of elves, beasts, and tree creatures - even some ferocious fire units! Use their mysterious magic to transform circles into your desired biome. Water circle? Child’s play. Lush forests? Easy peasy. Acid pits that deal damage to everything in the circle? You got it!
