Zynga drops the ‘ville’ for latest Facebook game

The Zynga game is a mix of classic strategy game Risk and CityVille, where players oversee virtual cities.

Unlike the company’s other games, which give points for helping neighbours, Empires lets Facebook users play against one another.

“You can do altruistic things like helping out your friends, or you can attack them,” the game’s executive producer, Amer Ajami, said. “We give you honour points or infamy points.”
