The core gameplay of Critias Empire, along with the majority of the art, UI and music/sound have all already been completed. The game will be balanced during the remainder of 2022, as well as having more features and disasters added before full release in early 2023.

In a world where magic is gradually disappearing in favor of technological advances that threaten the balance, you play the role of the Elders, protectors of the continent. While the inhabitants prefer to hunt the creatures and gradually abandon magic, your mission is to restore the balance by saving the fantasy creatures, while using diplomacy and teaching to convince people to live in harmony with them. Set up in the starting point of your choice; each location is unique, with its own difficulty. Build basic infrastructures to unlock new research and buildings that will enable you to welcome creatures and make your refuge prosper. Send your mages out to explore the surrounding area and discover points of interest, including injured or endangered creatures. Bring these creatures back to the refuge, negotiate with hostile populations, make decisions with future repercussions, and collect the five types of ether available, which constitute the game's creation resources and currency. When you bring a creature back to the refuge, first place it in a quarantine area, then transfer it in an existing biotope or create a new one, while respecting its needs and any compatibility or incompatibility with other creatures. Your objective is to look after its well-being and needs until it can be reintroduced into its natural environment, thus contributing to the gradual restoration of magic. In addition to conducting research to optimize your refuge, training your citizens in taking care of the magical creatures will help you enhance its reputation. Use diplomacy to forge strong ties with local populations and restore harmony between creatures, people, resources and magic. Each new creature released helps restore magic and stabilize the balance of the world. Once the magic has been fully restored in a region, your mission is complete. However, there are many other areas where your help is needed.

<a href="https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=https://discord.gg/QgERDnU" target="_blank" rel=" noopener" ></a> Make sure to wishlist and follow us to stay updated! Direct your subjects and build up your settlements, castles, as well as your alliance of bannermen. Will you call your serfs from the fields or spend your coin building a standing army? Do you become a bannerman for another noble or start your own coalition to back up your claim? You will need a strong economy, a strong army, and loyal allies to take the crown. Create your unique coat of arms and develop your family dynasty by winning traits and titles over multiple game sessions. Feudums has multiple ways to win and features an in-depth vassalage system. Each session is a community-driven narrative which will flow differently than previous games. Both sword and mind need to be tempered to walk the path that leads to the crown. Is it your destiny to sit on the throne? Heavily influenced by old-school strategy games like Lords of the Realm, Defender of the Crown or Genesia, early CRPG MUSHes, Crusader Kings and classic board games, Feudums is part builder, part strategy, completely moddable and is fully built around its players, with carefully crafted, hand-drawn visual style, contextual music tracks and original melodies. <h2 class="bb_tag">A Feudal Society</h2>Vassalage is a central element of the game. Build your feudal social network by enrolling others - friends or strangers - as vassals or take a carefully worded oath and side with another. Changes in feudal society lead to new opportunities and dilemmas, but grasping them has consequences for all parties involved.<h2 class="bb_tag">A Stable Domain</h2>Every aspect of medieval life - such as growth, health or labor - is heavily affected by the seasons. People living on your land can switch between dozens of seasonal and non-seasonal jobs to contribute to your domain's prosperity. But remember, winter is always just around the corner! Levied troops will be solely missed when its harvest time and ill-fated military campaigns, like the crops, are buried under the snow.<h2 class="bb_tag">Your Legacy and Lore</h2>Grow and strengthen your Noble House like a massive oak and enjoy its long and protective shadow by unlocking House Traits. Design your coat of arms from a vast library of historic heraldic devices, offering millions of combinations. With every single device and variation telling a different story and representing different merits, deeds, stains or attributes, watch your house's and your characters’ history unfold and told on the very shields they wield. <h2 class="bb_tag">With Wits or by Scheming</h2>Feudums is a fluid and narrative-driven system; but beware, the narrative can change with a single decision. No agreement is set in stone, but one must have a proper reason – or at the very least a fabricated one – before breaking an oath, or their action may backfire and their rivals may take control of the events.<h2 class="bb_tag">With Blood and Sweat</h2>War is expensive, bitter, and may have long-standing effects on your realm. Battles have multiple phases, offering a variety of setups and tactical decisions, and may take multiple rounds, allowing others to join in. Seasonal military campaigns with levy troops called lances are cornerstones of the system. War Plans can be drawn up on the game map - setting rally points, marching routes or marking targets – and be shared with your allies. <h2 class="bb_tag">In Your Own Way</h2>Play casually or as a hardcore player, find - or alter - your place easily through the unique vassal system that blends differences between players and make everyone equally useful in the feudal society. Unlock character traits and reform your personas to change the course of your strategy, or go for a House trait that spans across game instances with one character’s to save another’s campaign in a different game.<h2 class="bb_tag">By Your Own Achievements</h2>Feudums is tick (turn) based, which encourages strategic thinking, and is strictly fair to play, so players cannot ever buy anything for real money that would offer gameplay bonuses. No loot-boxes, faster ability recharges or unbalanced, high-tier units behind a paywall. You cannot buy your path to victory but can only win by outmaneuvering your opponents. <h2 class="bb_tag">The Game</h2>The game is built from its core to offer various modding opportunities, from soft tweaks, like turning features on-off or creating a custom rulebook or a world template for a game, to total conversions, like changing the logic of the game mechanics or AI characters. You don’t have to play the same setup twice.<h2 class="bb_tag">The Course of the Story</h2>With most major decisions, various dilemmas will pop up, creating exciting situations for new diplomatic, economic and military actions, keeping an ever-evolving social environment in constant move and leading to a unique, community-driven narrative in each game. Remember, whole narratives can change course with a single decision.

<ul class="bb_ul"><li> An adventure that will last from the beginning of the 1st World War to the end of the 2nd World War is waiting for you. </li><li> You will start to produce weapons in a small workshop, and as the weapons you produce win the wars, you will gain money and experience. </li><li> With this experience and money, You can manufacture pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, bolt actions, and more... </li><li> Maybe if your government trusts you enough, you'll be well-equipped to produce tanks, what do you think?</li></ul>
