Your Permian citizens aren’t just builders—they're soldiers in your growing army. Pan’s Permia lets you command a wide variety of autonomous combat units across the battlefield in large-scale, real-time strategy warfare. This is not a tower defense game—this is about commanding a living, evolving army where tactics and timing shape the outcome.

•

25+ unique player-controlled soldier types, each with a distinct attack style and a unique skill—from laser barrages, guided daggers, elemental blasts, and AoE stuns to slow fields, roots, and disarm mechanics.

•

Enemies are equally varied, with 40+ distinct types, each designed with their own combat AI, weaponry, and special abilities—from rock-summoning tanks to lightning-fast duelists.

•

Units can be individually enhanced using crafted items and gear, transforming their roles—turn a support healer into a mana-hungry burst caster with area silence, or upgrade a melee tank with knockback resistance and reactive stuns.

•

Status effects like stun, poison, silence, disarm, and slow are core to battlefield control—timing and synergy matter.

•

AoE support mechanics, projectile curving, homing targeting, splash damage, push/pull physics, and even bullet behaviors like buckshot, burst fire, or rotating projectiles ensure every combat scenario is uniquely tactical.

•

Towers and static defenses can be built, but they’re just one part of your arsenal—mobile unit control and tactical deployment define the core strategy.

Whether you prefer to fortify and defend, or lead an aggressive strike force into enemy lines, Pan’s Permia gives you the freedom to approach war your way.

BUILD A CITY LIKE NO OTHER

Construct a thriving settlement with 50+ unique buildings, each with distinct strengths and trade-offs. Will you establish a Fight Club to keep morale high, knowing it will drain hydration and health? Or will you invest in water sources and crafted items like bottled water to offset its effects? Every building is a puzzle piece in your evolving strategy.

•

Five building types: Communal (villager needs), Crafting (resource refinement), Gathering (resource extraction), Farming (livestock & plants), and Defense (protection).

•

Resource-based progression: Not all buildings are available at the start—players must adapt to their biome’s resources or craft missing materials.

•

Emergent gameplay: Some buildings thrive under "negative" effects—radius buffs help towers, while radius reduction benefits farms, keeping animals and plants close for easy collection.

MASTER THE ART OF RESOURCE ALCHEMY

With 33 unique resources—not just items—your city must evolve through complex transformation chains:

•

Craft, combine, and deconstruct materials as needs shift.

•

Leverage biomes for efficiency—build near geysers for natural heat and fun, or place gathering posts where nature is richest.

•

Boost infrastructure with crafted items—no fun-based buildings nearby? Manufacture toys or TVs to keep villagers entertained.

A LIVING, BREATHING SOCIETY

Your 400+ autonomous villagers have strict schedules but respond dynamically to their seven core needs:

•

Hunger, fun, age, water, health, temperature, and stamina—let any deplete, and villagers may abandon work, fall ill, or even die.

•

Workplace dynamics: Villagers work inside job buildings, which must be maintained—a well-placed water tower can keep workers hydrated, preventing early shift departures.

•

Free time matters: Villagers spend off-hours seeking the entertainment, rest, and sustenance your city provides.

ADAPT TO A WORLD IN MOTION

Every biome shapes your city's evolution:

•

Limited resources at the start force strategic choices—without fun-giving buildings, will you craft entertainment items or rely on natural fun-boosting areas?

•

Harsh environmental effects influence planning—villagers in cold zones require extra warmth sources to survive.

•

Disasters and events keep you on your toes—manage floods, droughts, and shifting resource distributions.
