Anvil Empires is a Massively Multiplayer Open-World Conquest Game From Foxhole Developer Siege Camp
Anvil Empires is a newly announced massively-multiplayer war game from Foxhole developer Siege Camp. The upcoming open-world sandbox conquest game is set to begin pre-alpha testing in April.

The battle is everywhere, as there are no safe zones and it's entirely an open world PVP game.
Since it is set in a Medieval time period, the logistics of setting your camps will rely on Medieval techniques and methods. You’ll have to build settlements and establish supply camps, keep your armies armed, fed, and rested.

So expect to build things like siege ladders or battering rams and to strengthen fortresses and keeps to let your side defend against attacks.
Your settlements can be simple, or they can grow into well-populated towns with people ready to lend their efforts.

Anvil Empires is heading into pre-alpha next month, and the
