A massively multiplayer 4X
Broken Oaths
Settle a living hex globe that keeps turning while you sleep. When you lose, you don't die. Your conqueror makes you a vassal. Pay tribute, fight their wars, and plot your rebellion. Then climb the whole arc of history with everyone else on the planet, from Stone Age raiders to intergalactic powers.

What you play today
A real globe
29,162 hexes wrap seamlessly around a sphere, plus the 12 pentagons geometry demands, cursed into impassable mountains. You found cities, research a tech tree, and fight for the terrain that matters.
Time never stops
Every world ticks once a minute, forever. Your cities grow, your units march, and your rivals scheme while you are away. One planet holds thousands of players at once.
Lose without dying
Defeat means vassalage, not deletion. Serve your new lord, watch your oath strain build, then coordinate with the other vassals and break your oaths together in a war of independence.
Fog you can't cheat
Hidden tiles never leave the server, so no client mod can reveal the map. Every player sees a genuinely different planet.
Where it's going
Broken Oaths grows into the full span of history and then past it. Your political toolkit evolves as you advance: raiders take spoils, empires hold cities by force, feudal lords bind vassals by oath, and the great powers pool their strength into federations and hegemonies. The tech tree runs all the way to the space age and beyond, opening into a Master of Orion style intergalactic 4X.
Older civilizations reach for the stars while fresh players spawn on new worlds behind them, so the strong colonize the young and lift them toward parity. Gods join above the whole board, trading wonders and miracles to rulers for worship, until the ambition scales to intergalactic gods.
The march from Stone Age tribes to intergalactic gods, tier by tier.
