Ranking
Being an extremely competitive game, Game of Emperors offers several modules, which rank the players, taking into account multiple criteria, representing the current power of each Ruler. The following rankings are represented here: Combined ranking of players, Net points and Alliance rankings.
Combined ranking of players
Those are the standings of all players in one Realm, according to specific criteria, divided in six categories:
Economy, Military, Technologies, Buildings, Imperial reach and Great People. The Rankings are updated every 2 hours and display: Username, Player Account Level, Medals (if any), Alliance and category-specific information. There is also a gear icon, which offers different actions, such as sending a private message and checking the player and his alliance on the Global map.
The Realm Ranking cannot be used for military interactions, such as attack and espionage – theses are executed via the Global map and the Operation Center.
How to get points in the Realm Ranking?
Economy - prosperity points are gained by increasing your empire's income and population, population growth and Happiness.
Military - battle rating is gained by winning attacks versus players, NPCs cities and barbarian camps. You lose battle rating by losing attacks versus them. It is an Elo rating system where the stronger the opponents you defeat are the more points you get. On the contrary if a weaker opponent defeats you, the weaker he is the more points you will lose. All players start with a battle rating of 1000.
Technologies - technology points are gained by finishing civil or military technologies.
Buildings - build points are gained by finishing civil or military buildings.
Imperial reach - you are ranked based on your imperial reach and the number of provinces, colonies, vassals, trading posts and military posts you own.
Great people - you are ranked based on the age of your oldest great person.
In each category players compete in 6 leagues. There are fixed numbers of slots in each League, except for the Wooden league, so only the best of the best rulers can be present in them. The leagues are:
Wooden - no limitation of players
Iron - 500 players
Bronze - 300 players
Silver - 200 players
Golden - 100 players
Platinum - 50 players
League standings are updated every 2 hours.
How to advance to an upper league?
To advance into an upper League the player must meet a specific criteria, usually to gain enough of a given type of points. The type and amount of points required for each one is displayed in the league's icon tooltip.
Hall of Fame
The most valued Ranking System in Game of Emperors. It is individual and ranks the best 100 players in Game of Emperors globally for the last 365 days, counting from the present date. It also contains an archive of the Rankings of all finished seasons of all Realms in the history of Game of Emperors. The Top 100 players in the Hall of Fame are ranked according to the points won by them for winning seasons and participating in elite Game of Emperors Tournaments.

A realm gets restarted when its season ends. A season ends on a date fixed by Game of Emperors administration.
What happens when a realm is restarted?
- Accounts are transferred to the new season but with different location on the Global map.
- Empires' development starts from 0.
- Diamonds and premium memberships are also transferred.
- Alliances automatically start the new season with the same member composition they have finished the last season with without having to be created all over again or manually invite all members. A transferred alliance implies: same name, same members at same positions (except the alliance commanders) but with nullified loyalty statuses, no holdings, no army, empty treasury, nullified Technologies and cleared diplomacy standings; inactive allies (those who haven't log into their accounts yet) can be expelled by the leader when he is at minimum 1000 net worth points.
Rebellion
Annexed province and colony condition caused by population dissatisfaction due to low local Happiness value. When the Happiness drops below 20, there is a chance, increasing progressively by 2% with every Happiness point (e.g. at 19 points with 2%, at 18 point with 4% and so on), for a rebellion, which could lead to a production suspension, no recruitment and no constructions until Happiness is increased again.
Recovery
The percentage of lost units a player restores after the battle. The recovery percentage can be increased by researching Military Medicine.
For more information about recovery click here.
Recruitment
Ordering the unit training in the respective barracks. Recruitment requires recruitment price in wood and iron, which increases in accordance with the classes – light, heavy, elite, and idle population – one villager per soldier, but 1 siege engine requires more than one villager for construction.

Research queue
Players can add up to 4 Technologies (4 economy and 4 military) in a queueand they will be conducted one after another automatically. All queued Technologies, except the first one, are in pending mode - their timers are frozen and the time will start start running as soon as they reach the first position in the queue. A pending Technology can be moved to the top of the queue. The progress of the Technologies moved down is not annulled, but just paused. All Technologies in progress can be canceled, which gives 50% of the invested resources back. More than one level of the same Technology can be ordered in one queue, but only the last ordered one can be canceled. Each Technology with remaining Research Time less than 3 can be instantly finished for diamonds.
NB! Technologies queue and canceling a Technology are both not available while the Empire is under attack*. Moving Technologies in the queue is an option available for accounts with account level 7 or higher.
*There is the following exception: This option is unlocked under attack when there is a drastic difference between the golden equivalent of the attacker's army and the gold equivalent of the net worth points of the defender.
