Birth of the Empires (also known as BotE) is a turn-based 4X strategy game set in space in the style of classics such as Microprose's Master of Orion 2 or ST: Birth of the Federation. By choosing one of six major races goal is to gain control and supremacy over a part of the galaxy, either by diplomatic or military means. Further victory conditions are available at game start. Due to AI, adjustable difficulty level and a large galaxy map within up to 140 minor races long-term pleasure is sure - on your own or with friends. BotE is available in English or German, further languages or many other options are moddable.

BotE is available in two versions:

  • C++ product (>> BotE Alpha 7) runs at 32- or 64bit Windows and even at Linux (using Wine) and provides single- or multiplayer mode (LAN, internet) -> most to this version is notified here, in German and partly in English
  • Java product (>> BotE Android 0.6.73) runs at Android, but also at Windows or Linux. -> most of this Wiki belongs to the Java product
