Follow the Rise and Fall of Great Empires: Iron Age
Hi Universe Architects,
Coming hot from the release of our latest dev diary, new Civilization content has been added to the Main Simulation. The three metal ages are coming to an end with the arrival of the final epoch — Iron Age.
As a replacement to bronze, iron became more widespread with the discovery of steel. The Iron Age gave rise to many cultural achievements and political reform, influencing both the West and the East.
Did you know that iron was more accessible to the public than Bronze? It led to the production of weapons that allowed nations to build bigger armies. Other accomplishments to human culture and history were made and declined during the Iron Age. Learn more about these accomplishments by unlocking six new trait nodes such as the library, catapult, Astronomical calendar and more.
The advent of iron paved the way to advancements in weaponry and organized community systems. Experience history with five new animated unlocks in the Civilization garden.
Relive an important historical moment at the tap of a finger through a new secret achievement in the updated Iron Age garden.
Five new artifacts await in the Augmentation Store. Add a piece of history to your simulation — Parthenon, Great Library of Alexandria, Great Wall of China and Colossus of Rhodes.
We have updated our game transfer system where save files will auto upload to the cloud the moment the device has internet connection. To ensure all save files are intact, please manually upload your save files to the cloud. Players will also need to opt-in to this autosave feature.
We recently released our dev diary for March- April along with an updated roadmap. If you’ve missed it, find it here. We hope players are excited for the future revamped multiplayer features. History was built from the joint unity of human efforts and multiplayer is a natural progression of evolution in our game. We are building a system where players can both enjoy a solo and collaborative experience. Join our beta + Discord and contribute your feedback to the development process: link
The next Beyond episode is currently undergoing polish and will be ready for release soon. We’ve seen what happens when a massive star explodes, and yet some bring new life. Join Semblance as she journeys into the gas and dust to observe the miracle of life. Beyond E24: Cosmic Cradles will rock the simulation soon.
We’d also like to hear more of our players’ thoughts regarding Explore Events. We released a survey last year to gauge player interest and it’s time to bring it back. Some ideas from the past survey have already been implemented in the game. As we plan out our next roadmap, we’d like to hear from players what our future Explore events would be next. Thank you everyone for your support, watch out for the survey soon.
Stay cellular!
