Graveyard of Empires releases on March 4th!
Today we’re really excited to introduce you all to our latest country pack, Graveyard of Empires. Over the coming weeks, we will have a number of developer diaries showcasing the latest countries receiving new or updated focus trees. We will also have a number of streams so you can really get to grips with what to expect of all the latest content and we shall also be doing an AMA with the developer team.
Have a look at what’s coming:
To give you a quick overview of what to expect in this country pack, let’s start by taking a high-level view of each country.
India
The Raj is the jewel of the British Empire, rich and strategically vital. However, a growing independence movement threatens to disrupt the war effort and dissolve the empire. A large focus tree emphasising the struggle of Indian Independence offers many alternate historical paths, including not just the revival of the East India Company as a corporate nation, but also the possibility of freedom for the Princely States, and the formation of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Iran
Iran is a potential great power, hemmed in by the imperial pressure of the Soviet Union and the British Empire. A significant new focus tree will allow you to resist the imperial incursions that historically weakened Iran, as well as offering potential for a new and modern Persian Empire.
Iraq
Take control of this British client state and try to chart your own path, choosing to side against your overlord. Manage the many competing ethnic and religious factions in Iraq and develop the strategically important oil fields.
Afghanistan
Historically known as the Graveyard of Empires, isolated from the wider war, Afghanistan offers many alternate paths. Continue the historical path of neutrality and isolation, or choose the road of rapid industrialization and building a new power in the mountains of Central Asia.
Art & Achievements
While, at this point, some of this Diary is still in draft mode and has images like this…
I do want to quote marblemadness, one of our marvelous artists: “…we’ve greased our elbows and dug deep into the sand to excavate the best art we could find, so I really hope you enjoy what we have to show!”
And leave you with a nice teaser..
