Allied Nations

Allied Nations is a fantasy colony and nation-building simulation about people making a life in a changing world. You begin with a small company, direct individual workers and guards, and use nearby resources to provide shelter, equipment and supplies.

Establish a settlement

Choose a starting region on a generated globe that you can rotate. You can shape its geography using controls for ocean coverage, climate, rainfall and terrain, then form a founding company and start working with the land.

Select people and assign them work. You can fell trees, designate construction, organize stockpiles and move supplies through storage and production. Food, water, tools and equipment all need to be obtained, carried and put to use. Buildings in NPC settlements include houses, storage halls and upper watch posts, though their routines and ability to sustain themselves over time are still in development.

Explore the world

Work across layered terrain, above and below the surface, and travel into neighboring regions. Seasonal trees, flowering vegetation, wildlife and visible aquatic life give different areas their character. Weather, lighting and water presentation are being developed alongside the simulation. Recent work also advances trees and wildlife beyond the region currently in view; complete ecosystems, a fully simulated living planet and large autonomous societies remain longer-term goals.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is part of the game’s design. The development build supports direct-address and LAN connections through Valve GameNetworkingSockets. Full multiplayer release support and Steam features such as lobbies, invitations and achievements are still in development.

Reborn development

The game is being rebuilt as Reborn, using a custom Godot-based engine. The current Steam download contains the original BYOND version; the Reborn development work is not yet available in that download. Reborn remains unfinished, with performance, presentation, long-term simulation and multiplayer among the areas still being worked on.
