Questions

Store FAQ

How does DLC work with pay-as-you-go?

The Quiet Empire is pay-as-you-go. New Civs, Leaders and maps unlock with Activity Points, and cosmetic upgrades are optional extras. Pricing has not been decided. Details coming soon.

Is anything on this page for sale yet?

No. Everything here is planned and marked Coming soon. Prices, release dates and exact contents will be announced later. Use Notify me or wishlist the game on Steam to hear first.

How do Activity Points and packs work?

Civ, Leader and Map packs unlock with Activity Points (AP). You can earn AP by playing, or buy AP in bundles to unlock faster. Either way it is the same AP and the same content: no content is locked behind money alone. Earn rates, bundle sizes and AP costs are TBA. AP has no cash value.

Are any of these pay-to-win?

Buying AP only gets you to content sooner; the same Civs, Leaders and maps can be earned by playing. The upgrades on this page are planned as cosmetic items and extras, like the soundtrack and art book, and are not designed to give a gameplay advantage.

Which platforms will DLC be on?

The Quiet Empire is planned for PC, Android and the browser, with a Steam release planned for late December 2026. Which packs and AP bundles come to which platforms: TBA.

Is DLC cross-platform?

TBA. We will confirm whether unlocks and AP carry over between platforms before any of them launch.
