Welcome Constructors!
With a demo release behind us, you could take a glance at a charming Chinese setting. Watch its buildings, beautiful surroundings and connect with divine powers – all of that starting but with a little altar. Some of you may feel as if you already know every river by heart… but what if we told you that what you've seen so far is not a final map?
NEW MAP
You’ve heard us well – the current map, the one you know from playtests and a demo, was made just for purposes of testing Celestial Empire. We are happy to finally present you with our progress on one of the final maps! Let's have a dive into details, shall we? :)
This map is heavily inspired by some interesting Chinese land formations. It’s diverse, filled with hills, rocks, stone structures and cut by many winding rivers. All that, just to show you how amazing some parts of vast Chinese swaths can be.
NEW MAP'S GAMEPLAY
But how will a different terrain affect players? Well, you could’ve already realized that placing your buildings around natural resources is crucial in Celestial Empire. This map will give you a little bit more of a challenge, because of rivers, winding the land, thus hindering access to some parts of the map, its resources and limiting space for your architectural creations. So this map, in terms of difficulty, is a hard one. Available resources will also vary in the placement and quantity of the deposits, depending on the map you've chosen.
MAP SELECTION
At the beginning of a new game, there will be some starting maps to choose from freely. Each one of them will be handcrafted, thus polished with the utmost care, to reflect the beauty of China’s natural environment. Each one of the maps poses a different challenge and highlights different aspects of Chinese lands. There will be few maps' difficulty levels, so no worries, as easier maps will also be available. A normal map will provide you with much more free space for your buildings. You will be able to choose which one suits you best. Pick your favorite, pick your fighter! Or… just try them all for a varied experience :D
Let us know in the comments what you think of our new map! Do you, perhaps, have some part of China you would love to be portrayed in the game? And don’t forget to join our discord, so we can hear from you and have a lively discussion.
