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 🙂
历史巨轮:文明新篇章
我们很高兴今天推出升级版的历史巨轮 ,这是Vlaada Chvátil开发的著名文明游戏。
TTA被认为是有史以来最好的策略游戏之一。
早在5年前它就在BGA上架,这是值得自傲的成就;玩家们已经充分享受了初始版本,到目前为止玩了超过500,000场游戏 (谢谢你们!)。
2015年,游戏发行商CGE发布了游戏的修订版:“历史巨轮:文明新篇章”,带来新的美工和规则变化。
每个人都知道改进现有的“畅销”游戏有多难...
但它取得了令人难以置信的成功:游戏的修订版被一致认为青出于蓝 ,而这个新版本现在在BoardGameGeek所有类别游戏中排名第三 。
对于那些已经了解TTA的人,你不应该对新游戏规则感到陌生,并且 应该能够马上游戏 。
但是,我们建议您阅读规则手册 “新故事的新内容 ”中最后一部分,其中总结了所有更改。
对于那些不了解游戏的人:TTA是一个文明类游戏 ,顺便提一下它与Sid Meier的《文明》可视游戏有一些相似之处。
在游戏的4个时代(从古代到现代),你必须通过技术、军事单位和建筑物的有效组合来获得尽可能多的文化点 (小“竖琴”符号)。
你必须应对来自其他玩家的各种事件和攻击。
你必须仔细选择你的领导者,并从最初的古老“专制主义”过渡到最现代的政治制度,以改进你的政府。
BGA非常感谢CGE给我们提供新版TTA!
好好享受吧
