Lost Technology

Story

War...

No one knows when or how it started.

In the lands controlled by humans, one fights in the name of peace and justice, one battles for no reason other than to fight, one battles out of greed, to gain more land, and like this, they all faded in the fighting.

The victor edits history to put them in a favorable light, and removes anything that they deem unflattering...

As a result, humanity has lost many things to the wars.

Territory, technology, and their true history...

Now there's not a single country that’s lasted more than 50 years...

Description

Lost Technology is a real-time-strategy (RTS) siege game.

The game is centred around three major phases:

Phase One: Turn-Based War Strategy

Recruit units, and build your army. Find those who will fight for you, command their movements and formation to smoothly prepare to assault your enemy’s territories, or being diplomacy to build peaceful and prosperous relations.

Phase Two: Real-Time Battle

Co-ordinate your army and navigate them through the battle field. With a variety of terrains, attacks and formations, utilize them all to overpower and defeat your enemy.

Phase Three: Story Event

Play through scenarios, each triggered by special events within the game. Your choices and interactions here will affect your strategy and progression.

You must take control of all territories to complete the game.

The World

At a glance, the world of Lost Technology appears to resemble the Middle Ages, as well as a fantasy setting.

However, civilization had once exceeded our current level of scientific advancement.

This drastic difference in advancement is due to the decaying effects of ongoing war. What remains in the game is the world experienced by the player.

Long ago when the realms were undivided, there existed incredibly advanced technology that we could not even imagine.

This technology would be:

"Weaponry", "Ideology", "Appliances", "Theory", "Manufacture", "Speech", "Craft", "Knowledge", "Study" and "Law"...

A wide range of fields that were developed over long periods of history.

However, most of this has now been lost through the endless wars.

The player's mission is to choose a single power and bring an end to the wars, once again creating a world of peace.
