As technology advances, you will unlock more game systems and mechanisms that greatly expand the game play. - Trade and Diplomacy: Trade resources and engage in diplomacy with other players via a global market. Exchanging resources, forming alliances and fighting for influence - can your culture stand in the end? - Wonder-full Empire: Throughout different eras, construct different world wonders that provide unique bonuses, unlock new game mechanism and make your map look pretty. - Reborn with Great People: When you prestige, you will be able to collect great people - historical great figures, each with unique bonuses and abilities that will help your next run reach new height. - 90s Retro UI: A 90's retro UI, that is a love letter to the golden age of desktop computing, will surely bring back some nostalgia. There's a 1-1 replicated mode which brings maximum authenticity and an "eye protection mode" that captures the essence but is easier on your eye on modern displays.
