NEW ENDGAME CRISIS AND CRISIS PATH
Players will face a new synthetic threat in a brand-new Endgame Crisis, or will themselves become the threat to the balance of the universe in a new Crisis Path.
INDIVIDUALISTIC MACHINES
Your machine empires are no longer limited to gestalt consciousness and can have individual personalities and more diverse stories and origins. Further customize your empire with 3 new Machine Ascension Paths.
NEW SITUATIONS AND ADVANCED AUTHORITY SWAP
As you delve ever closer to the mind of the machine, you will have to face new challenges for your society. Every decision matters and the only certainty is that your empire will not be the same after its Ascension.
3 NEW ORIGINS
-
- Cybernetic Creed: Your empire pursues a divine calling: the holy fusion of the body and cybernetics. Augmentation is worship.
- Synthetic Fertility: Once a thriving society, a novel genetic disease leaves your empire unable to reproduce biologically. Digital salvation seems the only option to avoid extinction.
- Arc Welders: Hailing from a world starved for space, a robotic society turns to the stars for resources.
