Game Introduction_02 - Meet the Nations of Epochia
In Epochia, players step into the age of legendary civilizations that shaped the ancient Mediterranean world. Each nation is inspired by real history and translated into distinct gameplay identities, offering unique strengths, special abilities, and iconic landmarks. There is no single correct way to win — your nation defines how you rise to power.
A core pillar of Epochia’s design is that each nation operates with different resource ratios. These ratios influence how efficiently nations convert their economy into progress, shaping strategic priorities and forcing meaningful trade-offs. As a result, decisions around growth, defense, and expansion feel different with every nation.
Whether you prefer diplomacy, military domination, long-term development, or strategic disruption, Epochia allows you to rewrite history through your decisions.
