The stars shine in the seventh documentary Men of Steel
A torrent of steel! Sweeping over mankind! The Stars Shine - The Industrial Age is here!

The main content of this release includes a new and revised industrial combat system for land, sea and air, a new Human Council Principle Axis, interesting spectacle modifications, tested and updated ancient classical PVP culture, new infrastructure such as classical blacksmith stores, medieval walls and industrial railroads, exclusive defensive fortification units for coastal/fortification guns, a new industrial culture, industrial technology trees and more. With an ambition to enter this industrial age of roaring steel and war!

Before entering the era, we must first choose an empire
So, let's take a look at some of the cultures that are rich in virtue or full of curiosity in the Industrial Age.

Let's look at some more important mechanics changes in


Proficiency!
Opened proficiency cap to 5. Increased cap for elite veterans
Old war veterans have become even more significant. A team of elite 5-star troops will undoubtedly play an extremely important role in tactics, as they can fight one against many and win with the old against the new!


Combat 3 turn trigger rollback to 28 units Open
Times Change effect duration lowered from standard 10 turns to 6 turns
Base price of points required for war attachments lowered to 80 Additional points per city owned by the opponent lowered to 30

Cultural nature with the system changes and balance after many tests made the following changes
Reduce the base price of agricultural active skill influence again
Turn off the aesthetic active skill gain now produces 0 influence
New Aesthetic passive: +1 extra population
Design idea: turn the explosion of instantaneous gains into a long and steady stream of advantages to balance i
Industry Passive: industrial zone +2st, active skill changed to cd5 rounds, lasts one round
Technology active skills modified to cd5 rounds lasts a turn

Now each nature will be able to help different cultures to better shape the way to play

Religious dogma 12 creed level 1 30 creed level 2 60 creed level 3 100 creed level 4
Allowing level 1 creeds to open more quickly, and level 3 and 4 to open at the right time in the Middle Ages and early modern times


Next, look at the important system of human diplomacy Human Council - Principles

Looking back at industry the following are changes to the content of the industrial technology tree
The top line is divided into two lines of sea/air
The middle line is branching into agriculture and industry and finally merging back into urban planning
The next line is in the mobile Rangers and trench warfare bombing siege guns to choose
Finally, there is the introduction of box tanks, but tanks are not a necessary priority, and sea/air is also an option.
