The actual verified model
- Citizens mine, gather, haul, research, manufacture, eat, rest, age, form relationships, and can dissent or revolt.
- The colony produces buildings, weapons, armor, food, ammunition, and supplies.
- The Leader travels through the Tyris System and fights in real-time first-person roguelite battles with troops.
- Enemies can be captured, imprisoned, converted, punished, executed, recruited, or used in progression systems.
- Core Fragments change weapon, squad, and run behavior.
Common fabricated claims
| Claim seen in search results | Why it fails the evidence check |
|---|---|
| The first 50 turns determine the campaign | The released game is real time; official material does not describe turn breakpoints. |
| Keep debt-to-GDP below 30% | No official GDP or sovereign-debt simulation is documented. |
| Balance Agrarian and Industrialist factions | Those faction names are not part of the verified game systems. |
| Build aqueducts and bathhouses in Roman provinces | The setting is the sci-fi Tyris System, not a Roman city builder. |
| Use add_gold or set_stability in a console | No official current command list supports these strings. |
| Prologue performance tests include late-game mechs | The Prologue page explicitly says mechs and advanced late-game systems are absent. |
How to inspect any guide
- Does it link the official source or show a dated current-build capture?
- Does it distinguish Demo, Prologue, old Earth From Another Sun material, and August 2026 Early Access?
- Can its exact UI term be found in the game or official patch notes?
- Does a suspiciously precise percentage come with a repeatable test?
- Does the page update after AG-12, or still say the game has not launched?
