Ecclesia had always contained the seeds of corruption from the very beginning. Unsettled by rebellion, the country had never experienced a time of peace ever since, with the fighting always being a dominant occurrence in the citizens' lives. When a detective uncovers a mastermind's plot to plunge the country into total war, he is swiftly stopped when the Enforcers begin hunting him down due to false charges pinned down on him. Even when he escapes the clutches of the Enforcers, still, the war rages on, with no one showing signs of stopping. He must first clear his name and find out the true objective of the war before even thinking about stopping it. Technological advances bring massive steam-powered zeppelins and machines into the fray, wreaking havoc on innocent, unprepared cities that have never seen such times before and changing the redefining the strategies of war forever. This is the genesis of a new era! WHAT TO EXPECT: Strategy. A lot of it. In fact, most of the story is actually one large scheme made up of tinier strategies with war elements involved Battles involving steampunk-inspired zeppelins and other giant machines but inevitably relying on the power of science to stop the machine attacks Slow pacing at the beginning, but with big reveals later And lastly, puzzle solving for those who like brain twisters...
