Read full description

1895: a valley, a sawmill, a handful of francs. 2055: an empire. Between them, six generations and 160 years of history, and a thousand decisions that will make your dynasty a legend โ€” or a cautionary tale. A SWEEPING INDUSTRIAL SAGA - 30 narrative chapters, from the Belle ร‰poque to the energy of the future. - Each chapter: its map, its objectives, its events, its moral choices. - Wars, crashes, strikes, oil shocks, the digital revolution... live through them. BUILD, PRODUCE, TRANSPORT, SELL - Chain supply lines: 46 goods, ~65 buildings, 8 vehicles (from horse to drone). - Optimize your logistics, factory recipes, prices and research. - Grow living cities that demand your products. RIVALS THAT ACTUALLY PLAY - Competitors that really build, speculate, ally and spy on you. - Pacts, cartels, takeovers, licenses: diplomacy is a weapon. YOUR REPUTATION, YOUR LEGACY - Wages, pollution, ethics: every choice feeds your reputation. - Two endings await: Empire (raw power) or Legacy (a beloved dynasty). HANDCRAFTED, AND HEALTHY - 100% procedural isometric art and period palettes. - No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no data collection. Offline.
