CORE GAMEPLAY

At its core, the game focuses on building, organizing, and expanding a Mississippian settlement. Begin with a small village and grow it into a powerful city centered around a central plaza and rising mounds.

Workers gather resources, construct buildings, and transport earth to gradually build up your mounds. As your city grows, new structures, abilities, and opportunities unlock, allowing you to expand your influence and strengthen your position.

Careful planning is key. Placement of buildings, expansion of your population, and investment into mound construction all directly impact your success.

CITY BUILDING AND PROGRESSION

Your city develops around its mounds, which act as the heart of your civilization. As mounds grow in size and importance, they unlock new capabilities and strengthen your settlement.

Construct longhouses, granaries, workshops, and ceremonial structures to support your population. Balance growth with stability, ensuring your city can sustain itself while continuing to expand.

Each decision shapes the structure and strength of your settlement over time.

⸻

WORLD AND RIVAL FACTIONS

You are not alone. Other chiefdoms expand, gather resources, and compete for control of the land. Some will grow into powerful rivals, forcing you to adapt your strategy and defend your territory.

The world itself plays a role, with terrain influencing expansion, resource availability, and settlement planning. Rivers provide opportunity, forests offer resources, and open land allows for large scale development.

⸻

No two settlements grow the same. Shape your city, build your influence, and establish your place in a living world rooted in history and strategy.
