Terms of Service

Last updated: November 2026

These terms apply to everyone who plays First Empire (the "Game") at this website. By creating an account or playing, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

1. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for everything done with your account.
One person may not use other players' accounts. Accounts may not be sold, traded or shared for money.
Usernames that are offensive, impersonate other people or staff, or break the law may be changed or removed.

2. Fair play

Do not use bots, scripts, automation, exploits, bugs or modified clients, and do not try to access other accounts or our servers in ways the Game does not allow.
If you find a bug, report it through in-game Support instead of using it.
Be respectful in chat and messages. Harassment, hate speech, spam, scams and sharing other people's private information are not allowed.
We may warn, mute, temporarily ban or permanently close accounts that break these rules, and remove anything gained by cheating.

3. Rules of conduct

These rules apply to everything you write or create in the Game: world chat, alliance chat, private messages, player names, castle names and alliance names. By creating an account you agree to follow them.

No hate speech. Do not attack or insult people because of their religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.
No harassment or threats. Do not bully, threaten, stalk or insult other players, and do not keep messaging a player who asked you to stop.
No sexual content. Do not post sexual messages, links or images, and never anything sexual involving minors.
No spam or ads. Do not flood the chat, post the same message again and again, or advertise other games, websites, services or social accounts.
No real-money trading. Do not buy, sell or trade accounts, rubies, items or resources for real money or for anything outside the Game.
No impersonating staff. Do not pretend to be an admin, a moderator, the support team or another player.
No cheating. Do not use bots, scripts, exploits or multiple accounts to get an advantage, and do not ask other players for their password.
No private information. Do not share anyone's real name, address, phone number, photos or other personal details.

Block and report. You can block any player from a chat message, a private message or their profile. You will no longer see their messages and they cannot send you private messages. You can also report a message or a player (for an offensive name, castle name or alliance name). Messages from the game team and system messages are always shown.

What happens if you break the rules. Depending on how serious it is and how often it happens, we may delete your messages, rename your player, castle or alliance, mute you in chat, ban your account for a while, or close it for good. Serious cases, such as threats or sexual content involving minors, lead to a permanent ban and may be reported to the authorities.

How we review reports. Our team reviews reports within 48 hours. We also use an automatic filter for bad words. If you think a decision was wrong, contact Support inside the Game.

4. Virtual items and purchases

Rubies, resources, troops, tools, equipment and all other in-game items are a limited license to use inside the Game. They have no real-money value, cannot be exchanged for money, and are not your property.
Optional purchases are processed by our payment partner (Xsolla) on the website, and by Google Play in the Android app. Prices are shown before you pay. Except where the law requires otherwise, purchases are final once the items are delivered to your account.
If a payment is reversed or charged back, the items from that purchase may be removed.

5. Changes to the Game

We keep improving the Game. We may change, rebalance, add or remove features, events and items at any time, and we may pause the Game for maintenance. We will try to give notice of big changes inside the Game.

6. Intellectual property

The Game — including its name, logo, artwork, characters, text, music, sound, software and source code — belongs to the owner of First Empire and is protected by copyright and other laws. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, redistribute or run a copy of the Game or any part of it without written permission. You may share screenshots and videos of your own gameplay for non-commercial purposes.

7. No warranty

The Game is provided "as is". We do our best to keep it running and fair, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, error-free or that your progress can never be lost. To the extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect losses arising from use of the Game.

8. Closing accounts

You can stop playing at any time. Inactive accounts may be cleaned up after a long period of inactivity (players with a confirmed email get a warning first).

You can delete your account in the Game (Settings → Delete account) or on the Delete your account page.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If you keep playing after an update, you accept the new version.

10. Contact

For any question, use Support inside the Game.
