EVO
Build a settlement. Defend its legacy. Outlast history.
Hochwald ValleyNorthern Alpine foothills
Scroll to beginThe same ground, carried forward
One valley.
Eight ages.
Every scar remains.
Raise a permanent settlement in the rain-dark Hochwald Valley. Read the terrain. Secure what your people need. Prepare for attacks you can see coming—and live with what they leave behind.
Centuries pass. Paths harden into roads. Timber gives way to stone, brick, steel and systems still bound by weather, energy and human judgment. The settlement changes. Its memory does not.
The rhythm of survival
Peace is where the next battle is won.
01 / Build
02 / PrepareRead the warning.
Direction, time and uncertain intelligence turn terrain into a plan.
03 / DefendCommit at the right moment.
Hold, withdraw, reinforce and counterattack without sacrificing the life behind the wall.
04 / RepairCarry the consequence.
Put out fires. Recover the wounded. Choose what to rebuild—and what becomes part of the ruins.
A settlement through history
Eight ages.
No clean slate.
Every transition changes the rules of work, war and survival. What can remain is inherited. What cannot must be rebuilt.
Timber · clay · woven fibre
Neolithic Age
A village learns to endure.
Households raise long halls, tend fields and herds, and answer danger as a community. Earthworks and timber buy time. Every able hand has another life to return to when the warning ends.
Bronze · salt · deepened earthworks
Bronze Age
The valley opens to the wider world.
Rare metal, long trade routes and specialist craft reshape the settlement. Wealth draws allies, rivals and a more organised kind of war.
Iron · stone · road
Iron Age & Antiquity
Power arrives by road.
Hill centres, market craft and provincial order succeed one another. Roads improve movement for everyone—including those marching against you.
Cut stone · timber frame · water power
Middle Ages
The village becomes a stronghold.
Farms gather around market, monastery and walls. Professional roles emerge. Siege engines turn familiar approaches into measured fields of danger.
Masonry · powder · ordered streets
Early Modern Age
Old walls meet a new force.
Gunpowder rewrites defense. Towers lower, earth thickens, formations drill and the settlement learns to supply standing forces without losing the life behind them.
Brick · steel · coal
Industrial Age
Industry compresses the valley.
Workshops become factories. Rail and telegraph accelerate both preparation and assault. Smoke, labour and firepower gather around the same inherited ground.
Concrete · radio · protected mobility
Modern Age
The horizon becomes part of the battlefield.
Motorisation, air power and sensors expand the defense far beyond the wall. Survival depends on mobility, protected infrastructure and clear command under pressure.
Repairable systems · microgrids · distributed sensors
Near Future
The future is built to fail safely.
Modular structures, circular production and human-directed autonomous systems strengthen the valley without turning it into science fiction. Energy, data and trust remain physical limits.

Hochwald Valley
A cold river valley, a pass through the northern Alpine foothills, and the one fixed stage on which every century is written.

EVO is not about replacing one base with another. It is about inheriting what survived.
