About

Clicky Empire blends three loops into short, replayable runs. Click tiles to harvest gold, wood, iron, and food; spend them to place buildings and raise an economy; then survive escalating attack waves that path toward your castle. Each round you draft a new card from a permanently-growing collection. Rendered in true 3D low-poly with Three.js on a seeded, fog-of-war map you expand at your own risk. Lose the castle and the run ends — survive as long as you can.

Features

  • Three genres in one — clicker, city-builder, and roguelite
  • True 3D low-poly world rendered with Three.js (no build step)
  • Golden-hour diorama rendering — ACES tone mapping, image-based lighting, gradient sky and fog, ambient occlusion, and soft bloom via an addon post-processing stack
  • Living world — wind-swayed trees and shader-animated flowing water
  • Eased orbit camera (pan / zoom / 90° yaw turns glide instead of snapping)
  • Seeded, shareable procedural maps with fog-of-war expansion
  • Card drafting across tiers with permanent between-run unlocks
  • Total-War-style regiments of soldiers whose block thins as the unit takes damage
  • Tier-gated build menu through Tier 3 (keep, wizard tower, castle wall), with terrain-gated placement (lumber/sawmill near forest, mines on ore veins)
  • A gold economy you grow — upgrade hamlets into villages and cities in place, each paying more rent
  • Spawner buildings (militia camp, barracks, archery range) that consume food to train units, with a segmented production bar capped to their living-unit count
  • Food matters — it both pays unit upkeep each round and fuels every unit you train (cards and spawner buildings)
  • [object Object]
