  Dev-Log #6 — New Large-Scale Resource Gathering System

  ⛏️ Devlog #6 — New Large-Scale Resource Gathering System Greetings, Eternal Emperors! Today, we want to present one of the most important foundations of Imperium Eternal: the new large-scale resource gathering system, designed to manage everything from small groups of workers to thousands of units gathering resources simultaneously across the map. Resource management is one of the most important aspects of any real-time strategy game, and our goal is to create a system that remains organized, responsive, and efficient regardless of the scale of your economy. 🌍 A New Resource Gathering System The new system was developed to support large-scale economies while keeping every worker independent. The player can select a small group or thousands of units and send them to gather resources. Each worker independently: Searches for an available gathering position Moves toward the selected resource Reserves an available gathering slot Begins gathering automatically When all available positions around a resource are occupied, the remaining workers do not simply remain inactive. Instead, they can: Wait at a nearby position Search for another available resource Move to another gathering location in the surrounding area This allows large groups of workers to distribute themselves naturally between multiple resource locations instead of gathering around a single point. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45215834/ad0582cf95d55abe238d0ea630fa9dabafe5612f.png 🦌 Hunting and Animal Gathering Hunting is now fully integrated into the resource system. The player can order workers to attack an animal. Once the animal is killed, the units begin gathering food from it. Each animal has a limited number of gathering positions. When all available positions are occupied, the remaining hunters automatically search for other nearby animals. These workers can then: Search for another animal Move toward the new target Attack and kill it Reserve an available gathering position Begin gathering food This creates a more...

  Dev-Log #5: Massive Combat: Total Control on the Battlefield

  ⚔️ Devlog #5 — Massive Combat: Total Control on the BattlefieldGreetings, strategists!Today we want to share one of the biggest advancements ever made in Imperium Eternal:the new combat system, designed from the ground up to work both at small scale and in truly massive battles.This is not just an adjustment — it is a new foundation for how wars will be fought in Imperium Eternal. 🛡️ Combat at Small and Large ScaleFrom the very beginning, our goal was clear:the same combat system must work just as well with a few units as it does with hundreds of them at the same time.There are no different rules for “small combat” or “large combat.” Everything responds in the same way, maintaining:Clear readability of the battlefieldTotal player controlConsistent unit behaviorThis ensures the player learns once — and can apply that knowledge to any battle scale.🧭 Total Control of FormationsOne of the biggest new features is direct control over formations.The player can:Drag the formation, defining its size and shapeChoose whether units line up in line or squareAdjust the formation before and during combatCurrently, we have:✔️ Line formation✔️ Square formation❌ Wedge, circular, or spearhead formations (not yet implemented)Even so, the system already allows fine-grained positioning control, something essential for more realistic and strategic battles.Future: We want units to move while maintaining formation, without turning into chaos along the way.👉 What do you think about changing formations with a single button click? ⚔️ Formation Movement in AttackAnother important point: the formation is not static.Once defined, the player can:Move the entire formation toward the enemyAdjust its position as the battle evolvesReorganize troops even under pressureThis turns combat into something active and strategic, rather than simply “order an attack and wait.”Future: We want to implement rear vulnerability — attacking units from behind will deal devastating damage.In addition:Units on hills, cl...

  Dev-Log #3: Building Construction in Imperium Eternal

  Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about building construction, one of the most important mechanics for the growth of your empire. From small villages to large fortified cities, your buildings are the foundation for resource production, troop training, and territory defense. Let’s understand how it all works! The Role of Buildings in the Game In Imperium Eternal, each building has a specific function, and building strategically can make the difference between victory and defeat. Here are some of the main functions: Resource Storage: Place buildings near mines and farms to ensure the efficient collection of food, wood, stone, and other materials. Don’t forget to protect them. Unit Training: Barracks, stables, and ports are where you train your troops, build powerful ships, and weapons. Research and Technological Advances: Universities and research centers offer important upgrades for your units and structures. Defense: Towers and walls complement your defense. Use a combination of walls and fences to ensure protection. (Check out our previous Dev-Log #2 about walls.) How Does Building Construction Work? Choosing the Location Proximity to Resources: Place storage buildings near resource areas to optimize collection. What do you think about having special buildings to improve resource gathering? Territory Organization: Military buildings near walls help facilitate defense. Room for Expansion: Reserve areas for future important constructions. Attention: sandy terrain weakens buildings, and some structures cannot be built in these areas. Planning and Cost Each building consumes resources and time to construct. Manage your workers and materials well to avoid delaying the empire’s growth. Building Upgrades Over time, you can upgrade existing buildings to make them more efficient. For example: Upgraded farms produce more food using different types of crops. Advanced barracks allow the training of stronger troops. Don’t forget to advance in ages to unlock these upgr...

  Dev-Log #2: Wall Construction in Imperium Eternal

  Hello Everyone! Today, let's talk about an essential element for protecting your empire and mastering defensive strategies: wall construction. This tool allows you to fortify your cities, control territory, and create strategic barriers against enemy invasions. The Importance of Walls Walls are not just defensive structures; they are a symbol of your empire's power. In Imperium Eternal, walls serve to: Protect resources and citizens: Prevent enemies from attacking your workers or destroying important buildings. Control territory: Use walls to limit enemy advancement or guide armies to strategic areas. Fortify your cities: Transform your villages into fortresses, making invasions significantly harder. How Does Construction Work? Choosing the Location Wall construction starts by selecting the terrain where you want to build them. Be sure to choose strategic locations, such as: Narrow Passages: Block narrow paths or natural entry points. Areas of Interest: Protect mines, farms, or critical buildings. Territory Borders: Establish clear boundaries to expand securely. Adding Towers and Gates Walls can be upgraded with: Ladders: Allow your troops to climb the walls, enhancing defense. Gates: Let your troops pass through and can be closed to block enemy advancement. Required Resources Building walls requires resources such as wood, stone, and time. Plan wisely, as focusing too much on walls might delay other projects for your empire. Strategies with Walls Reinforced Defense Combine walls with towers to create an efficient defensive line. Place archers on the walls to eliminate enemies before they get too close. Guide Enemy Troops Use walls to guide enemy armies to locations where you have the advantage, such as near catapults or traps. Secure Expansion Build walls to delineate areas you plan to expand into in the future, protecting workers and new buildings. Specialized Attacks Forget arrows and swords struggling against mighty walls. Now, use specific weapons and tools to ...
