About the Game

A mysterious continent stretches out before you, waiting to be claimed. To rise among Europe’s great powers, you must transform discovery into domination. Harness the riches of the New World to tip the scales of influence back home.

In Trumpets of War, you guide your nation through the turbulent centuries between the 1500s and 1800s. Expand your holdings, trade for what you lack, and send spies to outpace rivals in technology. Forge armies that command respect, and remember—the ultimate goal is nothing less than uniting Europe beneath a single banner.

Key Features

  • Turn-Based Grand Strategy: Govern your empire across a centuries-spanning campaign. Manage diplomacy, espionage, trade, and technological progress in a strategic layer where every decision shapes the fate of nations.

  • Real-Time Tactical Battles: When armies clash, step onto the battlefield and command forces directly. Victory depends on positioning, timing, and tactical skill—not just raw numbers.

  • Unit Variety: Recruit and command over 40 military and civilian units, each with unique roles in society and on the battlefield.

  • Technological Progression: Unlock more than 100 technologies across multiple eras, shaping your nation’s military, economy, and culture.

  • Dynamic Campaigns: Explore, colonize, and exploit the riches of the New World while managing rivalries in Europe.

  • Espionage & Diplomacy: Deploy spies to sabotage enemies, steal knowledge, and gain the upper hand in the race for supremacy.

Will you rise as a conqueror, a diplomat, or a visionary? The fate of Europe—and the New World—awaits your command.
