Legacy and Impact
Spanning 14 distinct epochs, the game forces you to constantly adapt. The tactics that worked in the Copper Age (archers and spear-wielding infantry) become obsolete once you hit the Renaissance and gunpowder enters the fray. By the time you reach the Atomic Ages, the game transforms again into a high-stakes dance of bombers, submarines, and tactical nukes.
