After the Great War devastated the continent of Holme, survivors crossed half a planet to reach the unclaimed land of Horga and start over. Most of the new city leaders signed a peace agreement committing to trade and shared scientific knowledge. One leader—Vadik of Zamon—refused and was exiled from the collective. He still has the resources and the loyalty of his people to build an empire on his own terms. The other leaders, determined not to repeat history, have decided to move against him before he gets the chance. A city-builder strategy game built around the tension between cooperation and the one who will not cooperate.
