Zynga Channels Settlers Of Catan In New Social Combat Game Empires & Allies; Debuts In 12 Languages

Social gaming giant Zynga is launching its latest game tomorrow"Empires & Allies, the company's first strategy combat game. Zynga is going big with this launch, debuting the game on Facebook in 12 languages (CityVille only launched in 5 languages). Zynga says this is the gaming company's most social title to date. Empires & Allies, which is the company's first title to be launched out of Zynga's Los Angeles studio, is set on a sprawling multi-island game board. The game itself is a cross between FarmVille and CityVille in terms of the layout and overall feel. There are two main parts to the game. First, players aim to build a island-nation by arming themselves against enemy forces and preparing for battle. Second, throughout the game, players build army units, recruit friends, and encounter allies and villains as fight their way across enemy-held territories on the quest to defeat the final villain. It's sort of like Risk meets CityVille meets Settlers of Catan.
