At the beginning of a playthrough, only European cities will be available to visit, with distant lands instead obscured from view by clouds. The release's events take place in a condensed world map, featuring Europe, North Africa, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. With 20 distinctive resources available to develop, you'll spend your time experimenting with different assets, as well as researching new technology to speed up the rate and yield of production. This makes up the majority of the title and is actually really gratifying to manage. The combat is simple, with the emphasis instead falling on balancing your production and consumption of goods to turn a profit.
It's important to note that the game focuses more on developing a functioning economy, building new settlements, and making agreements than waging war against other empires.
