We are happy to introduce today the upgraded version of Though the Ages, the well known civilization game from Vlaada Chvátil, for online play on Board Game Arena.
"TTA" is considered one of the best strategy games of all time. We are particularly proud about hosting it here on BGA for 5 years now, and that players have been enjoying this adaptation so much, with more than 500.000 games played until now (thank you for this!).
In 2015, the game publisher CGE published a revised version of the game: "Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization", with new art and rule changes. Everyone knows how hard it is to upgrade an existing "best selling" game... But it has been an incredible success: the revised version of the game is unanimously considered better than the original game, and this new edition is now ranked as the 3rd best game in all categories on BoardGameGeek.
For those who already know TTA, you should not be surprised by the new game rules and should be able to play it immediately. However, we recommend you to read the very last part of the rule book "What's new in the New Story" that summarize all the changes.
For those who do not know about the game: TTA is a civilization game, which by the way holds some similarities with Sid Meier's Civilization videogame. During the 4 ages of the game (from Antiquity to Modern Age), you must earn a maximum number of Culture points (little "harp" symbols) by setting up an efficient combination of technologies, military units and buildings. You have to face various events and attacks from the other players. You have to choose your leaders carefully, and to improve your government from the initial archaic "Despotism" to the most modern political systems.
BGA would like to thank CGE for giving us this possibility to offer the new version of TTA here!
Enjoy 🙂
歷史巨輪:人類文明新篇章
我們很高興今天推出升級版的歷史巨輪 ,這是 Vlaada Chvátil 著名的文明遊戲,現在在桌遊競技場上能夠線上遊玩了 。
歷史巨輪在策略遊戲中可以說是數一數二的。
能夠在BGA上經營歷史巨輪整整五年,讓我們深感驕傲,玩家們也很滿意BGA上的版本,從正式開放到現在,已經玩了超過 500,000 場 (感謝大家!)。
2015年,遊戲發行商 CGE 發布了遊戲的修訂版:「歷史巨輪:人類文明新篇章」,設計了新的美術以及修改了些許規則。
不過相信大家也能了解,要去變更一款暢銷遊戲有多麼困難...
但他們成功做到了!修訂版歷史巨輪的評價比舊版的還更好 ,而且新版本還被 BoardGameGeek 評為全遊戲排名第三名遊戲 。
對於那些已經了解 TTA 的人,應該是馬上就了解規則,還可以現在就馬上來一場 。
但是,我們建議您閱讀規則手冊 的最後一部分:「新故事中的新內容(What's new in the New Story)」,其中總結了所有更改。
對於那些不了解這款遊戲的人:TTA 是一個文明遊戲 ,順帶一提它與 Sid Meier 的文明帝國電腦遊戲有一些相似之處。
在遊戲的 4 個時代(從古代到現代),你必須通過建立科技,軍事單位和建築物的有效組合來獲得最大數量的文化點數 (小「豎琴」符號)。
你必須面對各種事件以及來自其它玩家的攻擊。
你必須仔細選擇你的領導者,並將你的政府由起始的古老「專制主義」演進到最現代的政治制度。
BGA 非常感謝 CGE 給我們推出這個新版 TTA 的機會!
祝大家玩得愉快
