We destroyed Hestia, our home, our Earth. You have been charged to execute geopoesis on one of the scarce number of promising, but hostile, alien worlds, Eos. Our only chance of survival is for you to terraform the 13 very challenging areas on this hostile planet. - Terraform areas by cleaning air and land then creating water to establish an ever more powerful base for energy generation. - Develop tactics to correctly select and deploy combinations of different drone types to beat the unforgiving environments presented by each area of the planet. - Beating each level requires experimentation and careful observation of cause and effect. Geopoesis is all about experimentation and is set up not to punish repeated attempts with different strategies. Don't hesitate to abandon a level and try a different approach. Have fun failing. If you get frustrated just try a different strategy. - Timing, energy management, shrewd selection of drone characteristics and base placement will be critical to successfully terraform each area ... And, don’t forget .. you may not be alone ! Think chess-like levels of strategy coupled with real-time action. Before you embark, consider mastering the basic skills required on the friendly simulated world of Artemis (3 very easy areas, free tutorial). You can download it from the app store. Search for Geopoesis: Artemis. Best of luck and if you get stuck don’t hesitate to contact us for hints. We would love to heard from you.
