this game is now fully accessible! i've worked with the developer that was so kind to implement all suggestions to add labels to cards and improve overall usability, reading of stats, a better way to close the options menu, improved notification pop ups during gameplay, and many other small quality of life changes.

Just tried this, and wow it's awesome!

The difficulty is steep, but that's intentional I'm sure, and I just want to see how far the game goes, and what more things I can unlock.

the atmosphere is good, the music is nice, and the game gets more complex as you go on, so all in all pretty dam awesome!

One I'd definitely recommend

How the hell can you play this? The music is so damn loud I can't hear voiceover, and turning the music off doesn't actually turn it off.

hey, after playing the game for some time try to access the settings again by opening the menu at the top left and going to settings. then try to disable the music, it should work. it doesn't work at the start because probably it's saving your profile to the cloud

This seems pretty cool so far, although I think I'm stuck now. I just got enough specialization points to get more energy, so I have 4 energy per turn. The cards I had only added to 3 energy, so I selected those. Now there are no cards showing except in the draw pile. I'm guessing you're supposed to be able to *draw* cards  from the draw pile, but double-tapping them does nothing, at least on iOS. So yeah, now I'm stuck. I'm about to post to the game's Discord server about this.

If you double tap on the number of turns at the top, it'll move to the next turn and draw more cards, however much energy you have left.

Hth.

Hi regarding the music issue i also am unable to turn the music down. I have tried turning it on then off but still it is not turning off. I find playing this game impossible to play with the music on.

I have been trying to figure out how to play this all day. How do i build an ore mine i got three drill cards and food and coins but i cant increase the ore levels.

@Harmony 36 1 sec ago, the music thing threw me at first, the on/off control is read before the heading, so if one isn't working to turn the music off, try another.

It's actually a shame it can't be turned down, since the soundtrack is pretty cool.

As for getting ore, you first need to build drill cards.

If you hit the "build", button at the bottom of the screen, you will see what things you can build.

At the start of the game you can only build the basic drill and the research cards. Flick through and you will be told stats like amount of energy and how much the card costs (if I remember rightly, both the drill and research cost 5 coins each).

Once you build a card, it will be placed immediately in your hand, however you still need energy to play it. So after building the drill, double tap on "cards", the drill takes two energy, so make sure you have two to spare to use it, that will give you your first five ore.

After you've built the drill card, it will be in your draw pile and so has a chance of coming up in future turns; you can have a max of three of the same type of card, though need to buy all of them from the build screen.

Of course with the drill only giving 5 ore per turn, you'll need more ways of getting it.

Once you have played your first research card and earned some science, you'll unlock the science screen. Here you can research different technologies, which unlock different buildings and cards.

Cards need to be played and have an energy cost, plus the more cards you have in the draw pile, the less chance of any specific card coming up, buildings usually give you static bonuses of one sort or another, though most buildings also require employees, which take food and coins per turn, so it's all about the balancing.

Currently got to turn 50 myself, and as I said, am loving the game, everything from the achievements to the strategy, though I'll admit this one definitely takes some planning and can be pretty brutal, especially having to fulfill increasingly larger demands for that greedy old git of an emperor! :D.

How do you deal with overheat? Is there any way to make it go down? Because I can never seem to get enough ore before overheat gets too high.

I can’t get the tutorial to read I click on it in the menu and nothing happens
