About Rising Kingdoms
Rising Kingdoms is a fantasy‑themed real‑time strategy game released in 2005 by Haemimont Games. It is set in the world of Equiada, where magical creatures and powerful wizards exist alongside human leaders.
The title offers two distinct play styles: a strategy mode that lets players choose a primary race and subjugate smaller nations, and an adventure mode that follows heroes and a small squad through a multi‑generational story.
01 / THE GUIDE
Races and Alliances
In strategy mode the player selects one of three major races—Humans, Foresters, or Darklings—each described with its own thematic traits.
Beyond the primary choice, the player may subjugate up to five smaller independent nations—Shades, Nomads, Dragons, Trolls, and Elves—adding their units to the chosen race’s forces.
- Compare the unit types of each small nation with the strengths of your primary race.
- Note which combinations reduce the need for multiple production buildings.
02 / THE GUIDE
Adventure Mode Story
Adventure mode places a group of heroes and a small squad of troops under the player’s control as they uncover dark secrets and surprising twists.
The narrative spans several generations, depicting ancient artifacts, the rise and fall of leaders, and the emergence of new mystic creatures and races.
- Watch for story cues that introduce new unit types.
- Track generational shifts to anticipate changes in enemy composition.
03 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Options
Rising Kingdoms lists several multiplayer features, including PvP, Shared/Split Screen PvP, Remote Play Together, and general Multi‑player support.
These features indicate that both online and local multiplayer sessions are possible, without specifying any additional requirements.
- Test both split‑screen and Remote Play Together to see which fits your group’s setup.
- Verify that each participant has a stable internet connection for online PvP.

Platform Availability
The official platform list marks Windows as supported and macOS and Linux as unsupported, defining the operating systems on which the game can run.
All game modes—single‑player, strategy, adventure, and multiplayer—are therefore limited to Windows environments.
- Check that your Windows version meets the game’s minimum specifications before installing.
- Keep Windows updates current to avoid compatibility issues.

Regional Titles
Rising Kingdoms has been released under different names in several regions: Bulgaria’s "Вълшебни кралства", Spain’s "Final Conquest", and Russia’s "Королевства: Восхождение к власти".
These titles refer to the same core game; the naming differences reflect localized marketing rather than gameplay changes.
- Include regional titles when searching for community guides in non‑English languages.
- Expect the same feature set regardless of the title you encounter.
