In the ancient times of 2023 we reported about a small 4X game called “Theocracy”, and today the author passed by to tell us again something about it. Marcel was inspired by Civ2 to create a 4X himself, so he did that. The game itself is not a traditional 4X as you know it, as it focuses on religion, how to spread it and dominate other cultures with it. You can also summon creatures from various religions and cast disasters and miracles.You compete with other theocracies to convert the pagans and heretics, which are spread over the world.
The game also comes with old-school graphics, and therefore should run on most modern PCs.
If you are curious, Theocracy is currently on sale, -80% off for only 2.97€. And if you want to discuss the game with us (and maybe with the author), then check this thread.
Last month Elemental: Reforged was announced, and now the first few dev diaries are available.
Elemental: Reforged is less of a new title really. It is a remake of the old 4X game Elemental: War Of Magic (designed by CFC member Kael), merging in the best mechanics from its successors Fallen Enchantress and the side off shot Sorcerer King. The game will come less with new graphics (Stardock saying they use old assets), but rather with a gameplay overhaul.
You can read the first of the available dev diaries here, and discuss them with us here.
The developers of Yield! Fall Of Rome have now released version 1.0 of their game, so it is not anymore early access.
Yield is a light-weight historic 4X game, set in the time when the Barbarians are invading Rome. You start with a single settler, develop technologies and expand over the map, as in all 4X games, but in a very cute graphics style, and not evening-filling, but rather a 4X game for in-between.
If you are curious, the game is right now on discount with 50% off, now for 9.99€. You can get it here, and discuss it with us here.
As mentioned by Gamespot, Endless Legend 2 now has a demo available.
This demo is available until August 18, while the early access has been postponed from August 7 to September 22.
In the demo you have 2 factions available, a 90 turns play limit, together with a few other restrictions.
Get the demo here, and discuss it with us here.
