Game Overview

Build an Empire that Spans the Four Corners of the Earth Under Pachacuti’s Leadership

In Tawantinsuyu: The Golden Age, you step into the shoes of a leader during the Inca Empire’s peak, where Pachacuti’s vision transforms the land into a prosperous civilization. Your goal is to guide the empire to new heights, managing resources, expanding territories, and keeping the nobles and citizens happy.

As you expand the city of Cuzco, a new class of nobles emerges, eager to contribute their wisdom and wealth to the empire. To ensure your success and the prosperity of your people, you must build palaces for these nobles, keeping them satisfied with their elevated status.

The construction of new buildings and the spread of your empire will echo far beyond the mountains, inspiring new settlers to travel to your growing city. Meanwhile, the priests debate the path to honor the sun god Inti—should they follow the way of growth and fruit-bearing (Ruruy) or the way of unity and connection (Simpa)?

In addition to your capital, the four suyu (regions) you’ve conquered offer valuable knowledge. By integrating the skills of these neighboring regions, you can find new ways to elevate your empire to even greater levels of wealth and influence.

Key Features:

• Play as the leader of the Inca Empire during the golden age of Pachacuti, leading your people to unprecedented prosperity.
• New modules that enhance gameplay with fresh mechanics and opportunities:
• Way of the Sun: Two alternative layouts for the Sun Temple, adding strategic variety to your playthrough.
• Vassals of the Inca: Unlock a new secondary action where you can gain strategic advantages by leveraging the unique resources and skills of the conquered nations.
• Nobles and Newcomers: Introduces new building types, newcomers who join your workforce, and additional passive buildings to deepen your strategy and expand your empire.
• Pachamama: A streamlined solo opponent that offers a fresh challenge for solo players.
• 8 new passive buildings to be integrated into your empire, whether you’re using the new modules or playing the base game.

Will you have what it takes to rule the four parts of the Inca Empire and maintain its golden age for generations to come?
