Colossal Citadels

Lore/Story

Takes place on an uncharted continent of The Infinite Ocean, where islands shift indeterministically. Only an order of Cartographers possesses knowledge of inter-continent navigation, and they decide which civilizations can trade, communicate, or stop existing. Your group got lost while travelling, survived the abyss and perhaps can rebuild society in a completely alien environment, with different laws of magic and architecture.

Gameplay

4X roguelike with factory-building twist. Every worker is a link in a huge chain of war and survival, each one capable of becoming a hero and adding something unique to your victory. Find new resource types, decide which to invest into, and upgrade your town and armies with procedural resources or their combinations.
