Millennia Developer Diary – Domains & Culture

By | January 1, 2024

We got another developer diary from the new Paradox game Millennia!
This time the diary is about how you are able to shape your nation. The dev diary describes multiple ways, in which you can influence your civ, in many ways similar to the government options, but also split over other domains like exploration and warfare, and that how you lead your civ, will give it more bonuses at the end.

For some more insights on how this works please check this thread.
