Players are invited to explore unique civilizations, each enriched with five distinct technologies. What sets these unique technologies apart is that they each harbor four effects, which are automatically activated as specific turns are reached, with over 1000 possible combinations for 1v1 matchups alone.

Before the match commences, you secretly select one of five technologies for your civilization (Select 2 Technologies for an additional difficulty). Each civilization offers its own set of advantages, and the mark of a technology as aggressive, defensive, or balanced further shapes your gameplay style.
