A lot of games have been attempting to get a bite of Civilization’s vast audience in recent years, such asOld WorldandHumankind. The next to try is Paradox’sMillennia, which covers 10,000 years via a historical 4X. Although, as a new trailer shows, history might include battling alien invasions or rogue AIs.
It also now has a release date: March 26th.

Most historical games are some form of alternate history, because it’s not like Gandhi actually launched any nukes at anyone, but I like that Millennia is introducing wildcard what-if scenarios.
The aliens, or technologies like zeppelins and steampunk machinery, are delivered via the different ages the game’s timeline splits into, and different ages will appear in different playthroughs. The most exciting line in the trailer above is: “You could go into a crisis age, like the Age Of Blood, and immediately see an impact all across the map.” Sounds awful, I love it.
Oddly, Millennia’s new release date of March 26th was originally going to be the day we were sentenced to Paradox’s coming management simPrison Architect 2. It wasdelayed into May yesterday.
