World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

250 p.n.e. jestem Antiochem II królem Seleukidów. The opening weeks find you in the royal quarter of Antioch, a dense urban core where day-to-day survival under pressure means navigating court intrigue, depleted coffers, and the ever-present threat of rebellion. You start with little certainty—your health is failing, your treasury empty, and your court full of spies—and immediate social pressure from nobles, generals, and foreign envoys.

The rising threat of rebellion in the eastern satrapies tightens daily margins across the empire.

Local survival pressures as king mean balancing the demands of nobles, generals, and the people of Antioch.

The court is a den of spies and factions; every word could be used against you.

Most solutions depend on your ability to command loyalty, secure funds, and outmaneuver rivals.

The Fall of Cadia, 41999

In the final year of the 41st Millennium, Cadia is a world of absolute martial law and grinding industry. As the Thirteenth Black Crusade begins its assault, the populace remains locked in their roles—feeding the war machine, maintaining the great pylons, and bracing for a siege that has defined their lineage for ten thousand years. Beneath the thunder of orbital batteries, ordinary citizens navigate a landscape of rigid quotas, vox-propaganda, and the suffocating presence of the Inquisition.

Pataliputra 550 AD, 550

The Gupta Empire is fracturing. In the ancient metropolis of Pataliputra, the golden age has curdled into urban decay. Huna invasions to the northwest have choked trade routes, and the Ganges floodwaters bring as much fever as they do fertility. You are a small soul in a terminal city, navigating the friction between crumbling imperial prestige and the harsh reality of a tightening economy.

France from 1910 to 1945

Beginning in 1910, France prepares for the industrial storm. As the timeline marches toward 1945, the player navigates the rigid social stratification of a nation at war. The lower class faces the meat-grinder of the trenches unless they can prove industrial utility; the middle class keeps the gears of the Meuse-Argonne turning or finds themselves in the secondary support lines; the upper-class elites command the economy and government from safe havens, their lives shielded by mahogany and influence. From the Belle Époque's end through the Great War and into the shadow of the second global conflict, status is the only shield against the mud.

1793 england specifically london, 1793

Alexandre Margaux Villeneuve is, by the time he is preparing to leave France for England in 1791, one of the most formidable young men in Europe. Born around 1765 into a comparatively modest Loire noble house, he begins life as the sort of provincial aristocrat greater families scarcely notice, with land, villages, an old name, and enough money to survive but nothing approaching the fortunes of the great dukes. An early humiliation at the hands of a richer marquis gives him a nearly ferocious determination never again to be powerless. Under Turgot’s patronage he receives an exceptional education, finishing first at the French Royal Military Academy and later studying at Woolwich and Cambridge before entering active military service and earning repeated promotion and distinction. Alongside his military career he builds an enormous commercial and banking empire, expanding through France and into Amsterdam, Vienna, St Petersburg, Edinburgh, New York and other European centres. By the Revolution he has become far more than a soldier or financier. Alexandre throws his wealth, administrative ability and military strength behind Louis XVI, arguing that the monarchy must reform without allowing France to collapse into anarchy. He helps feed Paris, reorganises finances and government, fights revolutionary violence, survives extraordinary wounds defending Versailles, and becomes one of the principal architects of the surviving constitutional monarchy. Louis remains King and Marie Antoinette remains Queen, but Alexandre becomes their indispensable cousin, friend, adviser and protector, particularly close to Marie, whom he has known since youth. By late 1791 he holds the five great French dukedoms of Villeneuve, Margaux, Chambord, Amboise and Chenonceau, together with the extraordinary dignities of Grand Prince of France, Prince-Peer, Lord Protector, First Minister, President of the Royal Council and Captain-General. He commands immense personal wealth and powerful private forces, possesses an international commercial network, and has already acquired the reputation of a brilliant soldier, financier, reformer and statesman. Yet he remains unusually young, intensely ambitious, proud, disciplined, charming when he chooses to be, fiercely loyal to the people he loves, and deeply conscious that he once began as a provincial noble whom almost nobody considered important.

Arrakis The Water Debt, 10191

You are a low-level water-seeker in Arrakeen during the tense transition of power between House Harkonnen and House Atreides. Caught in the crushing heat and the shadow of the Shield Wall, you must navigate the brutal scarcity of the deep desert's edge. Your life is measured in drops of dew collected from windtraps and the favor of those who control the spice flow. Whether you are a city-dwelling 'water-beggar', a smuggler's apprentice, or a scribe for a minor pyon family, the desert cares nothing for your lineage—only your ability to preserve your body's moisture and stay clear of the Great Houses' lethal games.
