About

Real-time strategy where you lead one of three civilizations—Roman, Egyptian, or Chinese—competing to prove your worth to a pantheon of gods who've been sentenced to repaint the universe unless they find a champion. You'll gather resources, construct buildings, and train military units to expand your territory across interconnected maps. Each civilization plays identically in mechanics but differs in visual style and unit appearances. The economy chains raw materials into finished goods: foresters plant trees, lumberjacks fell them, sawmills process lumber for construction. Settlers haul everything between buildings automatically, so you're managing supply lines rather than micromanaging workers. Combat is numbers-driven—larger armies win. Maps feature territory nodes you capture by building nearby, unlocking new resource patches. It's methodical expansion over quick reflexes, with campaigns for each faction following their divine sponsor's quest to avoid cosmic punishment.
