Let's Play The Fertile Crescent [Alpha] #1 | Dawn of Civilisation
The Fertile Crescent is a 2018 real-time strategy game developed and published by LincRead. In The Fertile Crescent, the player leads a Bronze Age tribe from the Near East to glory.
The game features established RTS gameplay: villagers collect resources and build new structures, technologies have to be researched, and an army has to be raised to eliminate the enemy.
The Fertile Crescent takes some inspiration from the original Age of Empires. It features the same resources and has some overlap in buildings and military units.
Its distinguishing features are the food mechanic: food is consumed by all units. If the player runs out of food, their tribe will revolt and the game is lost.
The Fertile Crescent has various terrain effects. Clay pits have to be constructed near water, and fields yield more food if they are on especially fertile ground.
The game is currently in its alpha stage. It supports one-on-one battles against the AI or another player on randomly generated maps.
