Crucible of Time is announced
A first look at the game, the announcement trailer, and where to follow development.
Crucible of Time is a retro 4X game inspired by classic versions of the genre. A campaign begins with a small nomadic tribe and, for the empires that endure, ends with a globe-spanning, space-faring civilization.
The game is built around the systems that defined the genre’s early entries: a single sweeping tech tree, cities managed tile by tile, and negotiations with rival leaders drawn from across recorded history.
Seven ages
Each campaign passes through seven ages, from the Nomadic Age to the Space Age. Technologies, wonders and leaders are catalogued in the Crucipedia, published here in full.
