Pax Autocratica Gameplay

The verified gameplay loop, without invented routes or values.

The verified loop

You lead Auroria, develop a colony, and personally enter first-person expeditions across the Tyris System. Each half supplies the next cycle.

  1. Manage the colony

    Citizens gather, haul, research, and manufacture supplies.

  2. Launch an expedition

    You fight in first person beside troops.

  3. Return with gains

    Expeditions provide resources, recruits, and temporary roguelite power.

  4. Grow the workforce

    Weakened enemies can be captured and converted into citizens.
