• A Conqueror tells his storySeptember 24, 2026
  The first major multiplayer test concluded at the beginning of August. In my opinion, it proved that the underpinning principle of the entire game was true – that it could be a platform where people play out the same social, political and strategic dynamics that drive cooperation and conflict in the real world. Typically, computer… Read more: A Conqueror tells his story
• Development continuesAugust 15, 2026
  Development is progressing at the same speed as before. There will be no updates on the live site for a while, however, at least not until the game is a little more presentable. After PROTO (the first truly functional live test), dozens of new design decisions were made, and many bugs and issues identified. Some… Read more: Development continues
• PROTO HAS ENDEDAugust 2, 2026
  The first real game with committed players has ended. It was more successful than I had hoped. Thank you to everyone who participated, your feedback has been a huge influence on development and direction. This thing would be far worse without you. The final rank included 5 remaining players: RANK PLAYER GOLD 1. ansik 1,337… Read more: PROTO HAS ENDED
• Big gameplay update in the worksJune 29, 2026
  A significant update is in progress, which will have huge affects on gameplay, and will probably bring a lot of bugs along with it.

• The philosophy behind work/combat calculationsMay 22, 2026
  In any enterprise, luck plays a part. Whether starting a business, buying stocks, growing vegetables, building a house, or starting a war, a large part of their fortune lies in unforeseeable events outside their control. Weather, accidents, betrayal, technology which under-performed or failed, a shifting economy… there are countless unknowns. It’s difficult to predict the… Read more: The philosophy behind work/combat calculations
• Fixes and adjustmentsMay 18, 2026
  Some of the fixes over the last few days:
• Resource management updateMay 15, 2026
  Some updates after issues were identified which resulted in players accidentally starving their populations to death, and quality of life suggestions to manage all resources. If you choose, it should hopefully be possible to just stick with defaults and the units will mostly manage themselves. Food now works more safely: Added two unit resource controls:… Read more: Resource management update
• Fog of war implemented, several fixesMay 13, 2026
  Please report any issues after this update, the Discord is probably the best place to do that.
