Industrial Summary

**ALL STAGES OF THRIVE WILL BE DYNAMIC; THERE WILL BE NO CUTSCENES OR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS WHEN AN ADVANCE IS MADE. STAGE PROGRESSION HAPPENS STEADILY AND DYNAMICALLY.**


Like the modern era here on Earth. You have quite complicated technology now, bustling cities, vehicles, computers and whatnot. Of course all of this really depends on what your species is like. You may just have complicated technology, but still live in villages like in Society.



Gameplay in this stage would really be an RTS. Command troops. Carry out diplomatic actions. Colonize parts of the globe. Declare war. This is, however, only if you choose to use Strategy Mode. You may still be able to use Organism mode and will be able to use Observation mode.

I think RTS play would probably occur anytime you have a large pack/tribe at your command. RTS play is simply strategy mode.

Alright. I forgot about Strategy mode. I'll edit all the posts that leave out Strategy mode.

So this will be something like the Civilization mode in SPORE,but more complicated and awesome ?

Probably WAAAY more complicated and awesome. Hopefully to the extent that it doesn't resemble Spore's Civ mode. But we do have a mode if ever you do want more resemblance; strategy mode. I'm not exactly sure if there's a topic about that one yet, though, it's basically like an RTS game. Ever heard of those?

Also, welcome to Thrive!

Of course i heard of RTS But,do you need to create your own buildings? Like in SPORE? And,while im talking,does everything has its own factoru like Tank Factory,Ifantery Factory etc? Or do you unlock tanks on a later level?

You start as a simple tribe, and you will get more and more advanced as you research.

You will be able to build Tech Objects (buildings, vehicles, but also engines, guns, etc.), but you can also select a premade design if you don't want to build it all yourself.

In this game, we want to let you progress at any pace you want, and in any way you possibly can. There will be two main modes- strategy (controlling many units) and org (controlling one organism).
