update details
Epicinium is a turn-based strategy game in which the player plans his actions ahead, issuing orders to all units several steps ahead. A big emphasis in this game, which was developed by a small group of indie creators, is placed on the economic component. The most valuable is a natural resource, which tends to run out when mining is too active. Having built a clear line of development, the gamer gets a chance to defeat his opponents, be they other people online, or bots controlled by advanced artificial intelligence, which can adapt and make unexpected moves. Multiplayer battles take place thanks to an Internet connection; up to 8 users can log into the server at the same time.
The developers spent a huge amount of time adjusting the balance and adding weather, which changes automatically and changes the gameplay depending on precipitation, wind and temperature. Each available unit has a unique function and makes an irreplaceable contribution to overall success. Online battles take place using simultaneous moves, which reduces waiting time and adds dynamism. After the gamer gains experience and understanding of the mechanics, you can try your hand at ranked matchmaking. For fans of designing their own territories, the game has a built-in map editor. With its help, you can create never-before-seen locations for cooperative play in any mode available in the project.
