Our take on Evolution of Ages: Settlements
Rather than stopping at settlement growth in one historical period, the game makes technological progression its central arc, spanning 10 eras from stone tools to space-age development. Resource limits, character specialization, crafting, and the threat of repeating humanity’s destruction replace a standard expansion-only structure.
