Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a compact strategy game without base construction, resource allocation, or ship configuration

- Players looking for a historical military setting rather than a science-fiction story about colonization and human survival
Our take on ERA ONE
The defining structural choice is unrestricted modular base construction: players can assemble a space base with no stated limit on its shape or size, then connect that building system to resource management and defense.
What is ERA ONE?
Era One combines real-time strategy, base construction, space survival, and tactical fleet combat.
Players create bases from modular parts, selecting layouts, buildings, defenses, and visual details without a stated limit on shape or size. Resource management covers raw materials, energy, and workforce needed for construction and upgrades. Research adds technologies for expansion, extraction, and protection. Starships can be assembled from modular systems, including propulsion, weapons, cargo, and utility components, then upgraded with improved engines, shields, weapons, and scanners. The game also presents a story about humanity’s colonization of space, resource shortages, political collapse, engineered biominers, and a journey beyond the Solar System.
