FarmVille' Maker Looks to Grow Empire

The creator of "Farmville" and "FrontierVille" is a retrenchment in the "elephant" subsequent to his final game for Facebook, "Empires and allies."


The game is set for the launch of the Zynga Wednesday. It is like a combination of a "risk" strategy for the classic game and "CityVille", which honors the players of virtual cities. Unlike the company's
other games, which give points to help the neighboring countries, "empires" Facebook allows users to play against each other.

A new game comes amid increasing talk of an initial public offering by Zynga San Francisco-based firm. The company is not commenting until now did not give any securities underwriting.
