Dear Kings and Queens,
We are proud to present a brand-new Age — Space Age Jupiter Moon (SAJM).
The Space Age Jupiter Moon starts on March 7th, 2022 |
Humans found a new exotic gene on the Jupiter Moon. It laid there for the past million years. This gene could help humans to survive a more dangerous environment and could counter the problems with radiation in space.
Only problem: the genes do need to be tested, refined and adjusted. Because they are extremely vulnerable, now humans need to test them on the moon itself. Test subjects: first plants, then animals, then humans.
The gene in the beginning (during testing) adds bio-luminescent attributes.
Mankind has triumphed over energy, transportation and nourishment. However, cosmic rays and electromagnetic radiation hinders the exploration possibilities. The aquatic lifeforms have developed resistance to harsh cosmic waves and radiation in the form of a bioluminescent protective layer.
The Space Age Jupiter Moon age brings you:

The colony:
The new under-water outpost at Jupiter Moon becomes available upon researching the first technology on the Research Tree. Please keep in mind that unlocking this new technology, you will grant independence to your previous colony (Venus) and give you access to a new one (Jupiter Moon). With this transition, Venus’s outpost will be closed, but its campaign map as well as the story quests will still be available to you. Although, you will not be able to access Venus's outpost anymore, you can still produce goods from this era by unlocking Space Age: Jupiter Moon buildings from the Research Tree.
Once you reach the Space Age Jupiter Moon, your new colony will be accessible through the same Spaceport in the outskirt limits of your own city:
Space Age Jupiter Moon's Town Hall | Spaceport to visit your colony |
---|---|
To obtain the new goods that will advance you through Jupiter Moon, you will need the help of your colony as always. The new goods buildings will be built in your colony during the Jupiter Moon age (as you do not yet have the possibility to synthesize them in your main city). In the same way that you needed Venus Carbon to advance through Space Age Venus, you will need Unknown DNA to refine it into the goods. Unlock the exploration sites on the campaign map to obtain Unknown DNA.
As you know, one of the most important resources in your colony is still your Life Support. You will notice it on the upper left side of your colony and it influences your goods production.
To help your colony to become more productive and successful, you will need to place Life Support buildings like the 'Oxygen Concentrator', 'Organic Oxidator', 'Deep Aquamarine', and, 'Hydrographic Hub'.
Great Building - A.I Core (5 x 5) |
---|
The A.I Core will help you and your Guild with providing some goods into the Guild treasury! Also, it will provide you some special good support! What does that mean? Well, remember how hard it was to collect all the special goods in the past …? With this Great Building, you collect more special goods in the future for a certain amount of rounds! If you have not reached the Age of Arctic Future, don't worry! You will get more supplies for your Journey!
New Units:
All units have the Keen Eye ability! This means, upon attacking they have a chance of 35% to double the damage dealt.
