Theocracy

About

Theocracy is a real-time strategy game set in 15th century Mexico and Central America. You lead a tribe through resource gathering, construction, and diplomacy over a 100-year span before Spanish forces arrive. Build settlements, manage populations, and choose between waging war or forming alliances with neighboring tribes. Combat systems emphasize unit types and terrain advantages while economic decisions shape long term survival. The turn-based campaign map switches to tactical resource planning between battles. Though dated by modern standards the game maintains a dedicated following for its historical setting and deep tribal management systems. Players appreciate the dual-layer strategy blending long term planning with real time combat. With no official sequel it remains a niche title among older strategy fans. The Linux port from 2003 shows surprising longevity for a 24 year old RTS.
