Hello Universe Architects,
The first Civilization update of the year has forged its way into the simulation. While there is still plenty of progress to be made, it’s finally the Bronze Age’s time to shine. Join Semblance on the historical journey of when humans traded stone for the beginnings of metal…
Along with the invention of bronze came many other historical milestones, including medicine, the first writing systems, developed warfare tactics, and more. Take a seat and let’s look at how the Bronze Age’s multiple components contributed to human evolution.
Branch out the Main Tree
Did you know that trephination started in the Stone Age, but was further refined in the Bronze Age? Or that papyrus was also used to make sails, ropes and floor mats? From Cartography to Mummification to Timekeeping, there are plenty of fresh nodes to test your Bronze Age knowledge.
- Unlock nine new Research Nodes that connect to the Bronze Age generator.
- Fix the new Glitch Node for 5M Metabits to add Ziggurat of Ur to the simulation!
A Whole New (Bronze) World
This once empty section of the Civilization Garden is bustling with activity! Now players can experience the opportunities that bronze provided firsthand.
- Join a busy potter in her outdoor workspace.
- Sail a boat around the glorious Hanging Gardens.
- Observe the process of papyrus production.
- And so much more!
New Augmentations to Discover
Two new Artifacts in the Augmentation Store are ready for simulation!
- Use Logits to add the Hanging Gardens to the Main Tree and Civilization Garden.
- Unlock the Trojan Horse Augmentation with 75 Darwinium cubes.
A Fresh Perspective
Classic camera mode is fun and all, but have you ever wanted to see the fruits of your labor from the skies above? Take advantage of Map Mode, a new way to view the Civilization Garden in a fixed isometric state.
- Unlock Map Mode through the Augmentation Store.
- Once unlocked, select the compass icon on the left-hand side to activate Map Mode viewing.
Other Features:
- Discover two new secret achievements!
