Explorers of Esmar is a city building strategy in real time, where ambitious ancient leaders rush to unexplored shores to found powerful colonies. The central place in the gameplay is occupied by the development of the island of the same name, which requires the protagonist to thoughtfully build infrastructure from scratch. The economic stability of the settlement directly depends on the competent placement of farms and mines, which form multi-stage production cycles for the processing of raw materials into valuable goods. An important component of prosperity is demographic control implemented through the construction of residential quarters to attract new residents. Citizens not only provide the logistics of resources, but also serve as the basis for the formation of a regular army capable of protecting borders and expanding state influence.
