The multiplayer beta is here! Now you can play 2-4 player games against your Steam friends around the world with online multiplayer. Since this was my first time adding multiplayer to a game, it's taken some time to thoroughly test everything and fix all the bugs. For that reason, I'm doing a brief beta period to stress test the system and make sure nobody encounters any bugs or connection problems that I didn't encounter in my own testing.
To opt in to the beta, follow these steps:
[olist]
The online multiplayer lobbies are divided into global regions. If there aren't any players connected to the same region as you, you can try selecting other regions from the dropdown menu. You can also use the Multiplayer subforum here on Steam to schedule matches with other players. You also have the option to create private matches that only your Steam friends can join. If nobody reports any issues with multiplayer during this weekend beta, then there should be another announcement coming next week about the full multiplayer release (and a 25% off sale!) Thank you all for your patience!

- Automata Empire Linux [97.33 M]
Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, Automata Empire challenges you to herd hundreds of mindless automata subjects to smash your rivals' castles and steal their territory. While your loyal subjects lack individual intelligence, you can sacrifice them to build chains of taverns and roads to impose order on chaos. Ready to invade? Build some high-velocity catapults to launch your minions directly into battle. Balance expansion and consolidation carefully to grow your empire into enemy territory and gain dominance over the toroid. Or cleverly engineer feedback loops to surprise your opponents with overwhelming force.
Five Gameplay Modes
- Siegecraft - lay siege to foreign strongholds while surrounding your own castle with a maze of defenses
- Migration - battle for the last habitable land as you flee from an unstoppable horde of undead
- Capture the Banner - sneak troops into the enemy base to steal their flag… but herding it back to your base is harder than it looks
- King of the Plateau - secure your sovereign right to territory by flooding it with as many of your subjects as possible
- WAAAAAR!! - wage plain old deathmatch warfare
Singleplayer and Online Multiplayer*
Battle 3 friends in all 5 game modes and practice your foreign diplomacy: forge alliances and then conveniently forget them at the most inconvenient times >_>*online multiplayer delayed until after launch
Short, Satisfying Matches
The average match is designed to last about 12 minutes. Or turn on Lightning Mode and play the game at 2x speed.Autoplay
