Ymir is a 4X multiplayer strategy game combined with a city builder where each player develops a civilization of pigmen starting at the stone age. On one hand you have to govern your state : colonizing new lands, securing resources, dealing with your neighbours, choosing civics, discovering technologies, waging war.. And on the other hand you have to organize your cities : creating fields, houses, industries, defences, managing your population, your resources and your armies... Ymirs relies on an economic simulation more than a set of abstract game rules. Your society is divided in social classes with a dynamic incomes and wealth, depending on the resources they produce and sell at dynamic prices based on offer and demand. It's also a game of diplomacy between players. With a wide range of diplomatic treaties, you'll be able form federations of players, or empires centralized around a single king. You'll be able to setup permanent trade routes, taxes, tributes and alliances.

A first video presentation of Ymir : a game mixing city building, 4X strategy, multiplayer and pigmen.

Greetings,

I'm Thibaud, and i've been quietly working on my own game for more than 2 years.I decided i now had enough concrete stuff to show to give people a good idea of what my game was, and so i made a video presentation of Ymir with ingame footages. Hopefully, i can gather people who'd be interested in playing such game and who'd want to follow the project.

The game i'm making is the mix of a city builder with a 4X strategy game, multiplayer and with pigs, of course.
Its PC only, with standalone clients and servers that can be customized to create persistant games running 24/7 (with up to a hundred players for now) or local games to play with just friends in 'realt time'.
I didn't really try to communicate about it until today, because considering the ambitious nature of the project (a multiplayer game) and the fact i was doing all of it by myself , i needed to show some serious stuff in order to get some credibility.

Check out the video presentation :
