Civilizations come and go; common men and kings they get covered by the dust of time in the same way. Monuments and wonders crumble under their own weight. But the cultural legacy is not bygone. Stories and tales about ancestors and their deeds pass through generations, the old knowledge is not lost forever. Soon, new societies, new kingdoms, new civilizations rise from the seeds of the ones which predated them. Decadence is not the end. Will your legacy stand the test of time? Field of Glory: Empires is a grand strategy game in which you will have to move in an intricate and living tapestry of nations and tribes, each one with their distinctive culture. Set in Europe and in the Mediterranean Area during the Classical Age, experience what truly means to manage an Empire. Expand your dominion through wars of conquest and make your culture a beacon of light, but be careful though. The risk of Decadence is not trivial. Many civilizations have collapsed for not having seen in time the signs of impending crisis. The older your empire, the more challenges will lurk in the shadows. Just expanding your borders without carefully shaping your form of government and culture won’t be the wisest of strategies. Manage your Empire on a scale that fits you: adjust all the details of an important region, form provinces to oversee your growing realm. Construct buildings to enhance your army, the life of your citizens, and the economy. Establish and grow a trade network of goods and resources. The battle system is not just about who brings the larger force. Army composition and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of you and your enemy are decisive, so is choosing wisely the battlefield and the general to lead your troops. And, if you want even more direct control, Field of Glory: Empires lets you export and load your battles into Field of Glory II and then load the results back into Field of Glory: Empires! War is decided not just by battles though, but also clever manoeuvres. Simultaneous (WEGO) turn resolution means thinking ahead to intercept – or to escape! – enemy armies will be essential. Field of Glory: Empires offers a living world where every decision has an impact on every actor. And once you think you are ready to be challenged, play against real opponents in one of the largest asynchronous multiplayer system ever created.
The Galaxy Expands! The second Distant Worlds 2 expansion brings two new playable factions – the introverted puzzle-solving Quameno and the numberless and ruthless Gizureans! The Quameno mostly prefer to be left alone to focus on their research and their societies are often organized like war-time economies, but with a focus on research instead of military matters. They value puzzle-solving and the discovery of new knowledge above almost everything else, certainly more than distractions such as diplomacy, war or espionage. They also have a natural aptitude when it comes to energy technologies and because of the abundance of energy in their ships, stations and cities, they use energy fields where many others might use solid materials. Their governments are typically based on a Geniocracy, which uses unique facilities such as the Enigma Maze to determine which are the most worthy to lead and the Transcendence Hub, a wonder which will trigger a singularity of sorts, which will free them from their physical limits and allow research to continue through eternity. The Gizureans are legion, with an incredible reproduction rate, along with a ruthless focus on gaining and consuming enough resources to keep their burgeoning populations happy enough to stave off their tendency towards tribal strife. They also have a mysterious past, as the hive mind they once had was broken and a more limited shared consciousness is all that remains. They engineer their ships through partially organic processes, which allows them to be tougher, but their real focus is in their numbers. Gizureans tend to focus on numbers and tactics based on quantity in space combat, specializing in many smaller ships and large quantities of hive starfighters for their ships, stations and colony defense with the earliest access of any faction to planetary starfighter bases. Each of these new factions also comes with their own special storyline and unique story locations, adding to the possible exploration events and to your knowledge of galactic lore. The Quameno will give you some additional insights on the Ancient galaxy and some of the mysteries the Ancient Guardians left behind, while the history of the Gizureans is connected with that of the Hive threat as well as the ancient enemy known as the Shakturi!Quameno Unique Features Geniocracy Government starts with better Research Labs and provides the largest research bonus of all government types, at the expense of other areas, including being unable to fund bonus colony growth. Also has the option for additional benefits whenever a research breakthrough or research critical failure happens. The Quameno also are the most gifted researchers in the galaxy, though their single-minded focus also means that they are limited when it comes to concurrent research Additional bonuses when they find new research locations or build new research stations Some temporary penalties due to distraction when treaties are signed or populations are unassimilated, preventing the Quameno from focusing as fully as they are normally able on their research puzzles Novacore Reactors, the best reactor in the game, along with Bubble Shields which have the highest Shield Resistance of all shield types The Transcendence Hub, an end-game victory condition wonder which allows the Quameno to transcend their physical forms Larger Research Stations Special exclusive Leader and Scientist Traits focused on Research Special conditional events Alien Distractions, Integration Studies, Puzzle Solved, Building the Future, A Piece of the Puzzle and The Answer reward them for thematic play Their unique story gives them an advantage when it comes to finding the new Ancient Guardian Vaults scattered throughout the galaxy and recovering the knowledge and artifacts within.Gizurean Unique FeaturesCell Hegemony government type is a form of limited shared consciousness, which includes some of the benefits and fewer of the disadvantages of a full hive mind. Starts with better sensors and command control, more inspiring characters and a generally reduced rate of luxury resource needs. Excellent at boarding combat and gain extra bonuses from salvaging and retiring captured ships Swarm Targeting systems make their ships more accurate the more ships there are in a fleet. Hive Hangars and Hex Armor allow them to build and repair starfighters more quickly and cover their ships with partially organic armor that is stronger than normal alloys. Hive Fighter Bases are available to defend their planets from the very early game Internecine Tribal Conflicts can hold them back at times and they will need to supplement their slower research through reverse engineering and conquest Larger Carriers Special exclusive Leader and General traits focused on improving their collective consciousness and increasing the size and resiliency of their armies Special conditional events, such as Waste Nothing and The Scouring, give them extra bonuses when retiring ships or conquering planets. The Rivalry event means that their characters periodically engage in power struggles to eliminate the weak and Breeding World allows them to choose to boost their own growth rate further by using other species as food.
Вас ждет сложный симулятор средневековой рыночной экономики и градостроительства. Королевская семья доверила вам развитие новых земель, и теперь ваш долг – извлечь из них максимум выгоды для государства, для себя и, если захотите, даже для жителей поселения! Вам придется распределять землю, строить дома, определять налоговую политику, расставлять приоритеты и наращивать систему снабжения, чтобы обеспечивать растущее население всем необходимым. В Lords and Villeins семья – это главная ячейка общества. Профессия семьи определяет ее род занятий и место в экономике. Выдайте им земельный участок, постройте дом – и семья самостоятельно займется развитием хозяйства и собственного дела, а также будет распоряжаться своими товарами, откладывать часть на уплату налогов и вести торговлю с караванами и другими семьями, чтобы получать деньги и пополнять припасы. Ваша задача – регулирование и развитие экономики. Следите за балансом спроса и предложения, обеспечивайте жителей необходимыми ресурсами и поддерживайте стабильный рост прибыли. Lords and Villeins предлагает вам песочницу со сложной симуляцией и большой выбор стратегий развития – от коммунистической экономики, при которой вся продукция собирается у производителей и перераспределяется с вашего склада, до свободной рыночной экономики, в которую вы практически не вмешиваетесь. Проявите свои способности в организации логистики. Поселение будет расти, а значит, при дальнейшем распределении земель и природных ресурсов вам нужно будет учитывать расстояния, размещение хранилищ, частных рынков и жилых домов, чтобы добиться максимальной продуктивности всех жителей. Тонкая настройка игрового процесса позволит вам получить максимум удовольствия от игры! Большое количество игровых модулей и настроек сложности дает возможность сосредоточиться на тех аспектах игры, которые вам наиболее интересны. Несмотря на то что Lords and Villeins – прежде всего симулятор экономики и военные конфликты играют в нем не основную роль, вам будет доступно множество других занятий! Особенности: Уникальная механика управления семьями: распределяйте земельные участки между семьями и следите за местной налоговой политикой, приоритетами производства и логистикой. Углубленная механика развития рыночной экономики и личной собственности: жители поселения держат лавки, что позволяет им продавать излишки товаров и покупать пищу и материалы друг у друга в рамках кооперативной производственной цепочки. Цены на товары колеблются в зависимости от спроса и предложения, а торговые караваны обеспечивают импорт и экспорт. Полностью смоделированная процедурно сгенерированная среда с продвинутым искусственным интеллектом, способным развивать взаимоотношения жителей, следить за их потребностями, ежедневными занятиями и личными устремлениями. Тонкая настройка сложности: только от вас зависит, насколько сложным или легким будет для вас прохождение игры! Режим кампании с 15 эпизодами, позволяющий игрокам ознакомиться с основными понятиями и механиками игры. Развитие дипломатических отношений со знатными домами, которые будут посещать ваше поселение, запрашивать ресурсы и присылать вам подарки. Возможность построить монастырь, церкви и часовни, где будут проводиться воскресные мессы. В монастыре производят уникальные ресурсы, а монахи лечат жителей во время эпидемий. Из числа жителей вы можете набрать личных слуг или стражу, которая будет следить за правопорядком в поселении. Редактор персонажей позволит вам настроить внешний вид и имя каждого из членов правящей семьи. Более 160 объектов для строительства, отделки и развития поселения. 53 различные зоны и 40 профессий для жителей поселения. Более 130 вариантов ресурсов для создания производственной цепочки. Большое количество домашних и диких животных. Визуально отличающиеся времена года с уникальным саундтреком для каждого. Смоделированный динамический мир с постоянно меняющимися погодными эффектами и температурой. Создатели Lords and Villeins вдохновлялись историей Средневековья, руководствовались историческими темами и учитывали доступные тогда материалы и методы производства. Однако игра не является исторически точной реконструкцией средневекового общества и экономики, поскольку во многих аспектах отклоняется от исторической действительности ради разнообразия игрового процесса.
