Civilization

Each Civilization in Empires Apart will feel unique and should be played differently by the player. Each Civilization will have substantially different buildings and units, while keeping the same overall archetypes throughout the game. Civilization bonuses, team bonuses and unique units are thrown away in favor of a truly unique design for each Civilization. Taking a hint from MMORPGs or MOBAs, each Civilization is designed to fit a particular role in a team based game. Each Civilization is designed to be a Rush, Boom or Support type of Civilization. After choosing a Civilization, the player can choose one of two or more Variants. These Variants will keep the Civilization likeness and units roughly the same but will change the way the Civilization plays by favoring certain aspects over others (e.g. one variant might have improved cavalry but weaker navy and another variant might have improved navy but weaker cavalry). These Variants are classifiable under the same types as Civilizations do and can therefore alter the potential roles that a Civilization might play in a team based game (e.g. a Boom type Civilization might have a Support variant, creating a Boom/Support hybrid).
