Artifact is the Multi-Player, Real-Time Strategy (RTS) Game from Samu Games.

Build an empire from a single city. Form alliances with other players. Search the world for the Ancient Artifacts and claim them for your own. Use their powers to help you and your allies conquer the world!

Here are just few of the Ancient Artifacts:

	The Red Dragon Artifact increases the damage your cavalry does to an enemy.
	The Air Artifact increases the speed of all military units.
	The Bone Artifact reduces the fatigue of all military units and workers so you can work them harder and longer.
	The Fire Artifact grants an attack bonus to all military units.

• Compete against Live Opponents - Real, Live Players from all over the United States and the World come together to battle for control of the Artifacts. Not only do you compete with other players, but you can also create alliances with them to "guard your back" while you're offline. More than just a game, Artifact has been a thriving online community since 1999!
  
  
• The Thrill of Real-time Combat - All building, movement and combat are resolved in "real time." Build your empire, scout your neighbors, and wage war on your enemies, all in real time.
  
  
• The Challenge of a Persistent World - Artifact is always running. When you log out, your empire is still there--your population is still growing, your workers are still working, your military is still there defending your holdings. Your enemies will still be there too, so make sure you have allies you can trust!
  
  
• Free to Play! - Artifact is FREE to play for as long as you like. Learn to play without paying a cent, or go for Full Access right from the start. It's your choice!
