March and April is the timeframe when the most game impacting updates are usually released. This is also a good time to reflect on how the market is likely to perform over the summer based on how prices were impacted during the December and February holiday events. Let’s take a deeper look at those performance…
Today I put the finishing touches on the Video Manual for the Modern Units Database. I’ve spend around a month sifting through all the game play feedback, recommendations from EDTC, and then my own notes from when I developed the initial content. I’ve got it down to the essential details necessary to play this set…
After a week of coding and inspecting results, the first edition of the Price Guide is ready. You can view it by going to the Tradelands page on this website or using the direct link. The price guide is an extract of the GISE index which is posted on Discord every week.
A lot has happened in the past 72 hours that have expedited my plans to reinstate the GISE Indexes on this website.

In this post, I will show the highlights for our third and final game…
After Mara’s risky win in Game One, we now move into Game Two of our year-end championship. In Game Two, players opted to include the Capitol Kill victory condition although it was not put to the test due to some expert defensive play. This game took a day and a half to complete and had…
As we near the end of 2021, I am posting the updated mining statistics to replace the badly outdated one from last year. The data represents the result of 300 mining attempts at various locations around the Grand Isles. Only results that had over 30 axes used/recorded will be shown. This data will also be…
After two false starts, Game One of the 2021 Empire Deluxe Tournament Championship is completed. Two players are effectively tied for first place going into Game Two after a surprising and incredibly risky surgical strike caused our players to declare a cease fire. Round Two will start later today as our players complete some quality-of-life…
Today is the start of the 2021 Empire Deluxe Championship Tournament. Played on the final two weeks of the year (and sometimes the first week of the new year), the top players from the leader board pit themselves against each other for the title of Empire Champion for the next twelve months.
