Greetings, emperors! Over the last two posts I’ve introduced Battle Honours and Equipment Loadouts. Today I want to talk about the most exciting part of the Military Tradition system: Troop Traits. When a troop slot reaches Tier 2 Veteran, you choose one Troop Trait for it. At Tier 3 Elite you choose a second. Every […]

Greetings, emperors! Last time I introduced the Battle Honours system and how your troop slots earn experience through combat. Today I want to talk about the first reward for reaching Tier 1, Equipment Loadouts. When a troop slot becomes Blooded, you unlock the ability to customise its stats through an Equipment Loadout. You have a […]

Greetings, emperors! We’ve spent several posts looking at the new two-axis combat system, how shock and resolve now shape the outcome of battles alongside the physical fighting. Today I want to introduce something that builds directly on top of that, a brand new progression system for your armies called Military Tradition. The idea is simple […]

Greetings, emperors! In my last two posts I introduced the new two-axis combat system and how armour has become much more important. Today I want to talk about one of the changes I find most exciting, what happens when you lay siege to an enemy city. As I mentioned in my first post in this […]

Greetings, emperors! So far in this series I’ve covered population, grain, stone, engineers and how all the resources fit together. Today I’m starting a new chapter, because the combat system is getting a significant overhaul. A big one. Let me start with what the current system already does well. Armies in Imperium Sine Fine already […]

Greetings, emperors! Last time I introduced engineers as a new troop type focused on construction rather than combat. Today I want to show you what that actually means in practice, because the difference in project times is quite dramatic. Let’s take a construction project that normally takes 800 cycles to complete. Here is how long […]

Greetings, emperors! So far in this series I’ve talked about population, grain, stone and how your resources all fit together. Today I want to introduce something a little different, a brand new troop type coming in the next major update: the engineer. Engineers are not soldiers. Let me be clear about that from the start.

Greetings, emperors! Over my last few posts I’ve introduced a lot of new mechanics coming in the next major update. Today I want to take a step back and give you the full picture of how the resource system works, old and new together. Think of it as a guide to what everything does and […]
