Generally i don’t talk about this, but since one of the developer send news about it and the game looks promising, here is a real ambitious project. Ensemble is a Real-time Strategy much like the classics of the 90s, e.g, Age of Empires, but on a breathtakingly vast map and in a persistent world. You play as a hero exploring an uncharted desert, battling nature (and other player settlers), uncovering and gathering various resources, and discovering new territory to build towns and outposts in. You can build farms and mills to harvest food and defensive towers to protect your land, but one of the most interesting features is being able to ally with other players and work together to build these towns.
