(no. 3: Critias Empire)
eXplorminate note:
This is an article series dedicated to the smaller developers, some of whom may not have managed to get onto the SteamFest. While we at eXplorminate do like the bigger games in the genre (Eo, Old World, Age of Wonders etc) I thought this was a great chance to highlight visibility for the smaller developers. I think the best ideas often come from smaller developers, who are more willing to bend the rules, challenge conventions and take risks.
James Coote has also contributed to the 4X Iceberg series, and you can read that article here. This game is an intriguing proposition. No war or combat? And did someone mention Atlantis?
Game: Critias Empire
Developer: Crystalline Green (aka James Coote on the Discord!)
Game Description:
Critias Empire is a Turn-Based Strategy game where you build your empire
without war, combat and rival civilizations. Instead danger comes from Disasters rained down by the Gods of Olympus.
This is a game for those who like the empire building of 4X games, as opposed to war and conflict, but still want a challenging dynamic world to play in.
