Make History, Your Way.
The regions of the world, the seas and the names of the cultures are all procedurally generated, making each play-through totally unique.Play against up to 8 procedurally generated AI Civilizations, each with their own individual personality and goals.
Alongside other major Civilizations, you will also interact with less developed Tribes. They can be either friendly or aggressive towards you, depending on their personality.
Develop a friendship with each tribe, who in-turn will gift you resources, units and more. Tribes can also develop or be helped to become major Civilizations during the course of a game.
Ethics and Culture
Ethics are the guiding principles by which your empire acts and grows. Your ethics control how you are able to treat your population, as well as how you interact with other civilizations and tribes.Select Culture cards based on your Ethics, which increase your productivity, and give you access to more powerful forms of governments.
Ethics can also enter your nation through migration and conquest, which can both help and hinder you. Having too many conflicting ethics in your empire can water down your cultural growth, and cause tensions - resulting in rioting and even a civil war.
Governments
