Imperial Ambitions

This pixel art Civilization 6 rival doesn't shy from the dark side of diplomacy, and you can try it now on Steam

Pixel art 4X strategy game Imperial Ambitions focuses on the age of imperialism, dealing in the small details of managing a European empire.

The CFC account has followed this guy on Twitter for a while, I saw the article too, wanted to make a thread, but you beat me to it .

Also great to see that there is a free demo, had not noticed this before.

Funnily enough we actually already had another thread made by me but it hadn't been updated in a while (I was just about to haha).. I originally it put in the Colonization area as he's been posting in the Col groups about it for a few years now.

A fellow named Aoiti has been posting on the Colonization discord about his new and rather impressive retro pixel art style Sid Meier's Colonization inspired game called Imperial Ambitions. He's made a steam page and is now regularly posting news updates if people wish to follow and also...

Shall we merge both threads?

Up to you mate. I thought about it but then realised it's probably getting better exposure being in 2 sections at the same time so I decided to leave it for now lol!
