Our take on Epic Palace : Knossos
Rather than centering strategy on military expansion, this game ties palace growth to trade, diplomacy, and technological development. Its throne-room decoration adds a customization layer to the historical construction and economic focus.
What is Epic Palace : Knossos?
Build the Palace of Knossos on Crete and progress through its 5 stages using trade and diplomacy with other societies, including Byblos, Troy, and Mycenae.
Trade goods to expand across Crete and use knowledge gained abroad to improve agriculture, architecture, handicrafts, and shipbuilding. Manage resources, hold religious festivals, negotiate with trading partners, and prepare for enemy attacks and natural disasters.
