Infernal Foundations

HELL IS RUNNING OUT OF ROOM. There is only one sensible solution: expand. Command a growing workforce of mischievous imps and establish Hell’s newest stronghold in the world above. Dig into a fully editable voxel landscape, harvest its resources, construct fortifications one block at a time, and transform an untouched wilderness into a thriving infernal domain. Your imps will do all the hard work. Probably. BUILD HELL, ONE BLOCK AT A TIME You are not placing finished castles from a menu. Walls, towers, workshops and defensive positions must be designed and assembled from individual building blocks. Plan the foundations, choose the shape and determine how your settlement grows. Build practical fortifications, sprawling industrial compounds or an unnecessarily enormous monument to infernal ambition. If you can supply the materials and your imps can reach it, you can build it. RESHAPE THE WORLD The landscape is part of your construction plan. Excavate hills, flatten building sites, carve paths through the terrain and create the foundations your stronghold needs. Every project begins by deciding whether you should build around the land, or order your imps to tear straight through it. PUT EVERY RESOURCE TO WORK Resources in Infernal Foundations physically exist in the world. Trees become logs, logs become planks, ore becomes metal and every piece must be gathered, transported, stored and processed. Organize stockpiles, assign haulers and connect specialized structures into efficient production chains. Watch materials travel through your settlement as raw resources are turned into the building blocks, tools and equipment needed for Hell’s expansion. A badly designed settlement wastes time. A well-designed one runs like a delightfully cursed machine. COMMAND YOUR IMP WORKFORCE Your imps are the hands, feet and questionable brains behind the entire operation. Assign them to gather resources, haul materials, operate production buildings and construct your designs. Clear routes and sensible stockpile placement will help them work efficiently. Terrible planning will produce long walks, unfinished walls and an impressive amount of pointless running around. As your domain grows, your humble workers can also be equipped for specialized roles. Give them weapons, shields, helmets or bows and turn the workforce that built your stronghold into the army that protects it. DEFEND HELL’S NEWEST TERRITORY The forces of mankind are not particularly enthusiastic about their new infernal neighbors. Prepare your settlement for attacks from human knights, archers and other irritating champions of righteousness. Build walls that control their approach, protect vital production areas and arm your imps before the enemy reaches the heart of your domain. Every battlement was built from resources your workers harvested. Every weapon came from an industry you created. When the humans arrive, the survival of your stronghold depends on the world you constructed before them. DIG DEEP. BUILD HIGH. KEEP THE HUMANS OUT. Create a working infernal economy, watch your imps bring every construction to life and expand Hell one carefully placed block at a time. After all, Hell is not going to build itself.
