As a small 2 person team, our goal isn’t to make the next big 4X game. Instead, we took a different approach and focused on delivering a shorter, more intense gameplay experience. Myriads: Renaissance is our personal contribution to the genre, and if you like the idea of a small but challenging 4X game with city-builder and tower defence mechanics then Myriads: Renaissance is the game for you!
And if you’re curious about the game but are not sure if you want to buy it or not, there is a demo! It offers 60 turns of gameplay which represents about 1 hour of gameplay. It also includes a step by step tutorial so that you won’t get lost trying to understand our game. Give it a try!

Development update: v0.8.0 High scores and Modes update.

Major changes:
High scores and Modes:
*add a score panel on victory
*add high scores panel to main menu
*add Sailor mode which unlock after the player defeats Catena for the first time. In this mode, the player can’t build towers but all upkeeps are divided by 2.
*add Builder mode which also unlock after the player defeats Catena for the first time. In this mode, the player can only own a single galleon but towers’ cost is divided by 3.
GUI:
*update the design of the ship path print
*add a button to clean all non important events
*remove a shield symbol duplicate and add 2 more symbols
*rename difficulty to Normal/Hard/Very Hard
*add a tooltip explaining why a technology can't be unlocked

*add all remaining quests
Tutorial:
*can now open the game menu at the beginning of the tutorial
*can now quit the game at the beginning of the tutorial

*add Business school, Engineering school and Agricultural college
WorldMap:
*change normal raider's mesh so that's it's different from the one's which are part of a wave
*add manors which “produces” a small amount of score every turn
*towers now boost any ship engage in a battle on a adjacent hexagon
*gunpowder depots now boost any ship engage in a battle in the archipelago
*add the possibility to deploy mines on any owned strait. Mines deal damage to any ship ending its movement on the strait and are then destroyed.
*add a 3rd lair popping wave and delay the apparition of Catena's main island only after all these lairs are destroyed
Bug fixes:
*fix various GUI misalignment
*fix various typos
*fix various minor tutorial bugs
*fix ordering of towers animation which sometimes leads to animation being not in sync with army movement
Note that previous save files will be lost.
If you missed the info, we’ve also announced that the game will release on Steam on 1st June. We’re on time, everything we wanted to implement is implemented and the next time the demo updates, it should be an update to version 1.0.0. This update won’t add anything to the demo as what’s missing now to the game is only Steam related, i.e. cloud saving and achievements.
If you find a bug or have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment on our steam community hub https://steamcommunity.com/app/1737220/discussions/. We read and reply to everything.

What is Myriads?
A lite city-builder where you grow your capital and manage its resources.

⚔️ Conquer: Send out your galleons to destroy corsair strongholds and conquer new territories.
⚛️ Research: Unlock new technologies by exploring the world and gathering ancient secrets.
As a small 2 person team, our goal isn’t to make the next big 4X game. Instead, we took a different approach and focused. Myriads: Renaissance is our personal contribution to the genre, and if you like the idea of a small but challenging 4X game with city-builder and tower defence mechanics then Myriads: Renaissance is the game for you!

Development update: G.Round playtest feedback
Between December 29th and January 25th, Myriads was on G.Round for a month-long playtest with a 120 turns extended demo. Thanks to the G.Round staff, the playtest was a success and we got more than 140 reviews from people across the world. This is much more than we expected given the genre of our game.
In general the players enjoyed playing the game and praised how unique the gameplay is. Many found the game mechanics to be well introduced. Many of them also found the game difficult on the first playthrough but easier on the second. We designed Myriads to be an “easy to learn-hard to master” kind of game, and it seems like we succeeded.
If you’re interested in reading the reviews, most of them are public and available here: https://gameround.co/detail/327/review/reviews.
Many players also suggested things we could change to make Myriads even better. Most of them are already implemented and tested in our working build. Here is a non exhaustive list:
*adding a tooltip explaining why a technology can’t be unlocked
*update normal raider’s mesh so that it’s different from the one’s which are part of a wave
*add a button to clean all non important events
*add help panel, rewrite some
*add a tutorial page explaining the ships movement
*fix various minor GUI/Tutorial bugs.
Amongst the things suggested to us that we’ll add to the game soon:
*towers will boost the attack of all ships engaged in a battle around it
*in general we’ll add an attack bonus system which will depend on the island (biome, if there is a lighthouse or not, …)
*the tug will be able to build something on any island which will hinder any ship passing on it. This feature will work very well in combination with the towers.
As Myriads is our first game, we also decided to use this playtest as a “stress-test”, in order to see how stable the game is on a larger scale. Very few players actually experienced bugs and that comforted us that we’ll be ready to release the game in the coming months.
Finally we’d like to thank the G.Round staff and all the players who tested the game and provided such great feedback to us!
If you did not try the demo yet and are interested in, you can download it on steam.
