10 itemsAbout the Game
A unique 4X real-time historical strategy game, set on a procedurally generated globe. Play from ancient times, right through to the modern day. Expand your empire, build settlements, units, buildings and construct world wonders.
Play against up to 8 procedurally generated AI Civilizations, each with their own individual personality and goals.
Alongside other major Civilizations, you will also interact with less developed Tribes. They can be either friendly or aggressive towards you, depending on their personality.
Develop a friendship with each tribe, who in-turn will gift you resources, units and more. Tribes can also develop or be helped to become major Civilizations during the course of a game.
Select Culture cards based on your Ethics, which increase your productivity, and give you access to more powerful forms of governments.
Ethics can also enter your nation through migration and conquest, which can both help and hinder you. Having too many conflicting ethics in your empire can water down your cultural growth, and cause tensions - resulting in rioting and even a civil war.
Also interact with developing Tribes, which range from being very friendly to very hostile. Foster a friendship with them to gain bonuses, or use them against your enemies. Eventually, with (or without) your help, tribes can become fully fledged civilizations.
With so much control over your society, the ways to play Nova Historia are truly vast, and each play-through is a very unique experience.
