GoE: Escaping the Garden of Eden

Welcome to an alternate version of the GoE: Escaping the Garden of Eden and origins of humanity. This is the first game in the GoE Project with more to come. Here, you can choose your faction as you compete for the survival against others but in the end, all must face the Darkness that corrupts or destroys everything it finds. 
Eden has fallen. Command one of six great powers, rebuild civilization among the stars, and fight a classic 4X war across space and ground — before the Darkness consumes the galaxy.
The Garden of Eden — humanity’s cradle — lies under a creeping Darkness. In GoE — Escaping the Garden of Eden, you take command of one of six great powers and fight to rebuild civilization among the stars. Explore a living galaxy, raise empires, outmaneuver rivals, and decide how history ends.
Six great powers. Six ways of war.
Every empire fights with its own doctrine:
Terran Federation — damage-control crews that patch fleets under fire

Xeon Collective — hack enemy warships and turn their guns inward

The Hive — living swarms that erupt mid-battle and drown the field in brood

The Darkness — dread fleets that feed on wrecks and whisper into rival courts

The Renegades — outlaw freebooters flying twin flagships Adam & Eve

The Verdant Accord — grown hulls and plant-folk armies that heal naturally

A classic 4X loop, sharpened
Explore a procedural galaxy — compact clusters or sprawling frontiers

Expand across living worlds, natives, and contested orbits

Exploit six resources: Energy, Minerals, Food, Research, Crystal, and Antimatter

Exterminate — or outgrow, out-scheme, and outlast — your rivals

War on two boards
Fight tactical battles in orbit, then invade on the ground. Board crippled hulls. Unleash flagships. Deploy troopers, medics, fortifications, and brood that claws up from the soil — or trust your officers and auto-resolve when the odds are clear.
Many paths to the end of history
Conquest. Wonders. Ascendancy. Diplomacy. Subjugation. Score. Shadow. Swarm. Race your rivals to the ending that fits your empire.
Solo or hotseat
Campaign alone against ruthless AI, or pass the seat with up to four commanders at one table — deals, betrayals, and all.
Eden is gone.
