Empires

Building and Growing Your Dominion

Venturing into The CORE, each player assumes the role of a visionary leader, orchestrating the rise of their own unique empire. Each choice, each decision, shapes the trajectory of their dominion, carving out a distinct narrative in the annals of the Stellar Atlas.

Rise of the Empire

The foundational purpose of an empire is twofold: to expand and to evolve. Expansion is achieved by acquiring territories across celestial bodies (maps), obtaining critical districts and forming strategic colonies. Evolution, on the other hand, is driven by the persistent development of an empire's capacities, fostering technological advancements, and acquiring influential stakes in the Interstellar Infrastructure.

Resource Generation: The Lifeblood of Empires

Resources, the lifeblood of any empire, underpin every activity within The CORE. They fuel the machinery of progress, from developing districts to launching exploratory missions beyond known horizons. These invaluable assets can be found in varying abundance across the celestial bodies (maps) and their districts, each offering its own unique resource profile.

Resources are categorized mainly into two types: construction resources and fueling resources, each holding a distinct role in your empire's advancement.

Construction resources are the building blocks of your celestial dominion. These are used for erecting infrastructures, establishing stations, and paving the path to progress within your empire. The intricate interplay of these materials manifests in the form of burgeoning civilizations, sprawling across the cosmos, ever-expanding in their capacity.

On the other hand, fueling resources propel your quest towards the stars. These resources are essential for powering up your rockets and other space exploration technologies. As you venture deeper into the cosmos, they become the lifeblood of your explorations, enabling your empire to leap across cosmic distances and reach the farthest corners of the Stellar Atlas.

Advent of Advanced Materials: Charting Unexplored Territories

As the Stellar Atlas expands and technology advances, so does the range of resources within The CORE. The progression along the Engine Evolution Timeline might lead to the discovery and exploitation of advanced materials, the likes of which are currently beyond our comprehension. These advanced materials will likely fuel novel technologies and infrastructures, fostering a continual cycle of exploration and innovation within the game. Each discovery pushes the boundaries of the possible, heralding a new era of growth and prosperity within your empire.

The fluid dynamics of resource exploration and exploitation add a layer of strategic complexity to The CORE, fostering an environment of continual learning, adaptation, and growth. As the horizon of human knowledge extends, so must the strategies of the intrepid explorers within The CORE.
