Economy

• No direct control over population and economy: They breed, age, work and buy things according to the simulation.
  
• Population divided in social classes with specific incomes, purchasing power and revenues.
  
• Dynamic resources prices based on supply/demand, rarity and production costs.
  
• Even player consumed resources are taken into account: materials for buildings have to be bough at their market prices, generating incomes to the producers and affecting the economy.
  
• A simulator instead of a set of independent game rules : all variables and actions influence each other in sometimes unpredictable ways that makes things frustratingly challenging.
  
• Producing too much of something can be as damaging as not enough making the logic of the game quite different from classic management games. ( ex: instead of having positive effects, distributing a new resource can actually destabilize your economy if you're not careful )

Military

• Real-time battles are not instantiated and actually take place in your cities.
  
• Build and customize your fortifications with walls, bridges, gates, stairs, towers and battlements.
  
• With the terrain tools, modify the terrain heights to take maximum advantage of natural defenses like cliffs and hill tops.
  
• Water forces troops to embark and cross with slow vulnerable rafts: dig canals around your forts, secure your bridges or build a citadel on a river-island with fortified bridges.
  
• A Strategic-tool allows players to design their local defensive strategy in each one of their cities in case of attack: creating defensive zones, setting troops initial deployment positions and setting their behavior in battle.
  
• Battles are not instantaneous and belligerents can send reinforcements while a battle is still in progress.
  
• Battles can include unlimited 'teams' at the same time, each one fighting according to its allegiances.
  
• Battle troops during a battle are all AI controlled ( so that battles can happen independently of the player's presence ).
  
• Dozens of unit types including mounted camels, elephants and armored mammoths.

Main game modes

• Real-time mode : a 'classical' mode to be played alone or with a few friends, meant to be played with the permanent presence of all players and to be stopped/continued over several playing sessions.
  
• Persistent mode : a more "MMO" mode where the game server is to be left running 24/7 at all times even when players are offline and where actions take much more time than in the real-time mode. Meant to be played with the maximum number of players on a day-to-day basis, with games lasting several weeks.

IMPORTANT

• This game is a one-man project: development is slow.
  
• This game is likely to forever remain an experimental work-in-progress and to never reach the quality, stability and optimization of a finished product: buy it only if you think it's worth it NOW, and not based on future expectations.
  
• Playing solo is possible, but the main focus of this game is multiplayer.
  
• The game is available in more languages than English, but localization is done by the community and might be partial and incomplete.
