Agelong

Agelong is a turn-based strategy game about the whole road of humankind. You start with a handful of people around a fire and lead them through the ages: villages, kingdoms, industry, the atomic age, and finally the stars. Alone or with up to 3 friends online.

Cities without a grid

You draw the roads yourself: straight, curved, rings, whole blocks. Every building stands freely along them, and its door has to face a road, so your city grows the way you plan it. Tents become huts, huts become stone houses, and one day the town becomes a metropolis.

Every discovery is a choice

The science tree doesn't hand out +10% bonuses. Learn the wheel and you get a water mill that makes the fields around it richer, so where you put it matters. Writing brings a scribes' school, and now you decide who works the fields and who studies. Irrigation lets you dig canals from the river and bring water where there was none.

A living economy

Water, food, wood, stone, planks, iron and horses. Winters when the fields lie bare and every home needs firewood. Stores that fill up. People who leave when they go hungry.

Battles on small hexes

Out in the world, units move on a fine hex grid: zones of control, archers shooting over your warriors, watchtowers and stone walls. Barbarian camps grow in the wild, send scouts to find you and war parties to burn what you left unguarded.

Where it is now

The first era is playable: founding a camp, roads and free building, growth and seasons, the science tree, units and combat, barbarians, and multiplayer for 1 to 4 players. Next come AI rivals and the following eras.

"Agelong" is a working title
