Concept Overview

Epoch Forge merges grand strategy with city-building across shifting eras. Players guide a civilization from its humble beginnings to futuristic metropolises. Unique time-manipulation mechanics let you revisit past choices, adapt to changing landscapes, and forge cities that evolve through centuries.

Core Mechanics

At the heart of Epoch Forge lies three intertwined systems:

Temporal Planning

Assign “time anchors” to key buildings. Rewind or fast-forward development to optimize layouts, correct mistakes, and explore alternative growth paths.

Dynamic City-Building

Zones react to era-specific technologies. A single district can transform from medieval workshops to solar-paneled hubs as your society advances.

Strategic Layer

Manage diplomatic relations and resource trade across ages. Alliances formed in early eras unlock unique bonuses in later times.

Temporal Challenges

Each era presents distinct scenarios:

  • Founding Era: Establish basic infrastructure and defend against raiders.
  • Industrial Age: Balance pollution with growth to maintain population health.
  • Digital Renaissance: Harness AI-driven assistants to automate city services.
  • Future Metropolis: Integrate climate control and orbital trade stations.

Unique Features

Innovations

  • Time Anchors: Experimental rewind mechanics for strategic depth.
  • Era Synergy: Decisions echo across centuries, creating lasting impacts.
  • Modular Architecture: Buildings upgrade visually and functionally over time.

Considerations

  • Learning Curve: Complex systems require experimentation.
  • Hardware Demand: Advanced simulation benefits from high-end PCs.
