Write your own story of a new civilization in Millennia, a historical turn-based 4x empire builder from C Prompt Studios and Paradox Interactive, releasing on March 26, 2024.
Millennia revolutionizes the 4x genre by putting the direction of history itself in the hands of the players. Dynamic and Unique Ages encourage players to pursue goals that dramatically change the march of humanity, transforming an Iron Age into an Age of Heroes, or, if things are planned poorly, a Renaissance into an Age of Ignorance. Player choices in National Spirits and other traits make each playthrough different, as a nation of explorers in one game could be a nation of scholars in another. Develop strong economic centers and export surpluses to the corners of your empire to speed up production or distribute luxuries.
Features of Millennia Include:
• History and Alternate History: Lead your people through ten dynamic ages, steer your timeline into the uncharted alternate history of a Variant Age or the danger and opportunity of a Crisis Age. Each age involves unique rules, units, buildings, goods, and challenges, which can alter the path of history.
• National Spirits: Decide what your nation is famous for by selecting National Spirits and using the bonuses they provide to achieve your goals. Combine multiple National Spirits as you progress through history to craft a unique civilization in every game.
• Develop a Strong Society: Invest in six different domains that influence the focus of your nation – Exploration, Government, Warfare, Diplomacy, Engineering, and Arts. The better you provide for each, the more your nation can make use of unique Domain Powers. Everything from claiming territory, to adopting new governments, to spreading religion, to reinforcing armies flows from mastery of the domains.
• Deep Economy: Design your economy to support your strategy. Gather raw materials, then build improvements to refine basic goods like logs or iron into lumber, paper, books, ingots, tools, or weapons – specialized products that allow you to improve and adjust your economic engine to suit whatever history sends your way.
• Combined Arms Warfare: Customize your approach to war by combining individual units into powerful armies. Each unit influences the capabilities of its army, allowing you to employ a vast number of varied strategies. Once in conflict, watch the action unfold through the Combat Viewer, where battles play out and provide details on how different armies perform.
• And more: Discover natural landmarks, build the pyramids, compete in the space race, finance expeditions, survive plagues, use diplomacy to your advantage, defeat barbarians, unleash innovations, deal with alien visitors, govern underwater cities, manage air combat, and master a host of other historical-themed content.
Millennia will be available on March 26, 2024, for the suggested retail price of $39.99.
