Strategy 4X is short for “Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate”.

Exploration will play a fundamental role in the unfolding of the story, as it will have a great impact on discovering resources, finding allies — or enemies — and facing the greatest threats. There will be no lack of common mechanics in the genre such as the management and development of the economy, relations with the different factions and the value of political influence. According to the first details shared by Shiro Games, we will have endless possibilities when it comes to achieving our goal.
