Gigantic RTS game is like Age of Empires 2 but with 1,000 actual players

Everyone loves the trebuchet, the Hassar, and the stoic, impervious Teutonic Knight. But do you know who’s the true hero of Age of Empires 2? The humble villager. The villager gathers your wood, farms your food, and digs up your stone and gold. Without them, you’re totally helpless. The same is true in other RTS classics. Where would you be in Command and Conquer without the diligent Harvester? How far could you get in Homeworld if you didn’t have a carrier and a cargo barge? This is what real strategy is about, the combination of both logistics and hubristics. With Foxhole, Siege Camp has already changed the game. Now, the developer is back with a gigantic new RTS and medieval MMO hybrid. This is Anvil Empires, and you'll be able to play it soon.
