Game Introduction_01 - Timeline & Map

Epochia takes you back to ancient times, an age of legendary cities, growing empires, and exciting discoveries. You’ll explore a world inspired by real ancient civilizations, where trade routes connect distant lands, diplomacy opens new opportunities, and battles shape history. Epochia is designed to feel welcoming and easy to understand, inviting you step by step into its world while letting you enjoy the charm, strategy, and stories of the ancient era at your own pace.

The main map of Epochia is designed to truly stand out. Created for 3–5 players, it comes in an impressive 990 × 685 mm size, giving the game a strong table presence and plenty of room to breathe. Each tile measures 4 cm, providing clear space for smooth movement, easy orientation, and comfortable gameplay even during busy turns. The map is filled with diverse resource tiles — Timber, Ore, Spices, Stone, Gold, and Crops — which form the economic backbone of every empire. Alongside them, players will find city tiles focused on diplomacy, historical sites that generate gold, naval tiles for sailing ships and controlling the seas, fort tiles that help defend advancing armies, market tiles for trading and negotiations, and special beacon tiles used in skirmish scenarios to gain unique advantages over opponents. Together, these elements create a rich, readable, and strategic battlefield where every tile matters.

For players who prefer fast, intense confrontations, Epochia also offers a smaller 1 vs 1 skirmish map. This map is designed with a strong focus on battle-oriented gameplay, encouraging quick decisions, aggressive positioning, and constant pressure on your opponent. Inspired by the feel of classic RTS games from the early days of the new millennium, the skirmish map delivers a compact, competitive experience where territory control, tactical movement, and direct conflict take center stage. It’s a perfect mode for short, high-energy matches that highlight pure strategy and combat.
