Features

Category	Description
Connection	WebSocket with background threads, auto-reconnect, keepalive
Protocol Models	Pydantic models for all GGE commands with type-safe request/response handling
Services	High-level APIs for alliance, castle, and more - auto-attached to client
State Tracking	Player, castles, resources, movements

Installation

# Using uv (recommended)
uv add empire-core

# Or with pip
pip install empire-core

For development:

git clone https://github.com/eschnitzler/EmpireCore.git
cd EmpireCore
uv sync

Quick Start

from empire_core import EmpireClient

client = EmpireClient(username="your_user", password="your_pass")
client.login()

# Services are auto-attached to the client
client.alliance.send_chat("Hello alliance!")
client.alliance.help_all()

castles = client.castle.get_all()
for c in castles:
    print(f"{c.castle_name} at ({c.x}, {c.y})")

client.close()

Services

Services provide high-level APIs and are automatically attached to the client.

AllianceService (client.alliance)

# Send chat message
client.alliance.send_chat("Hello!")

# Get chat history
history = client.alliance.get_chat_log()
for entry in history:
    print(f"{entry.player_name}: {entry.decoded_text}")

# Help all members
response = client.alliance.help_all()
print(f"Helped {response.helped_count} members")

# Subscribe to incoming messages
def on_message(msg):
    print(f"[{msg.player_name}] {msg.decoded_text}")

client.alliance.on_chat_message(on_message)

CastleService (client.castle)

# Get all castles
castles = client.castle.get_all()

# Get detailed info
details = client.castle.get_details(castle_id=12345)
print(f"Buildings: {len(details.buildings)}")

# Select a castle
client.castle.select(castle_id=12345)

# Get resources
resources = client.castle.get_resources(castle_id=12345)
print(f"Wood: {resources.wood}, Stone: {resources.stone}")

Protocol Models

For lower-level access, use protocol models directly:

from empire_core.protocol.models import (
    AllianceChatMessageRequest,
    GetCastlesRequest,
    parse_response,
)

# Build a request
request = AllianceChatMessageRequest.create("Hello 100%!")
packet = request.to_packet()
# -> "%xt%EmpireEx_21%acm%1%{"M": "Hello 100%!"}%"

# Send via client
client.send(request)

# Or wait for response
response = client.send(GetCastlesRequest(), wait=True)
