Our take on Worlds Collide
The defining structure is real-time empire management with a pause: city growth, production, military movement, and responses to crises all occur within one continuously running campaign.
What is Worlds Collide?
Worlds Collide is a real-time strategy game about governing an expanding empire.
Build a city, claim territory, collect resources, and establish production lines before forming an army to attack other powers. The game runs without rounds, with a pause option for suspending deployment and planning. Empire management includes technological development, national progression, era quests, and responses to natural disasters, civilian uprisings, and resource pressures. Heroes provide skills that affect the city and army. Battlefield units gain experience and receive a choice of one trait from three random options after leveling. Logistics units carry war materials from city production lines to frontline forces.
