Before you play
Straight answers about the shared world, progression and browser experience before you enter.
Starting
Is Ronoplex free to play?
Yes. Ronoplex is free to play in your browser. You can begin as a guest, then save your civilization to an account whenever you are ready.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Ronoplex is a browser game rendered with Canvas 2D and web UI. There is no standalone game client, plugin or app-store install required to play the current web build.
World
Who do I fight in Ronoplex?
Current player-facing combat is PvE. You can fight eligible NPC civilizations and hostile NPC sites. Human PvP actions are not exposed in the current polished interface.
Does my civilization keep running when I log off?
No. Ronoplex is not an idle game. Your civilization and explored world remain saved, but routine work does not run for hours while you are away. Nearby NPC civilizations also pause their economy, construction and research when no active player makes that region relevant.
How large is the map?
Effectively unbounded for play. Terrain is generated deterministically from coordinates as the shared world is explored. Explored ground remains remembered under fog, while live foreign activity is shown only where your civilization currently has vision.
Playing
Can I play Ronoplex on a phone?
Yes. The interface is mobile-first, with touch map controls, contextual world interactions, character-driven navigation and responsive management panels designed to fit phone-sized screens as well as desktop.
Progress
Can I advance through the ages right now?
Not yet. The current alpha is focused on the Stone Age. The age-up rule is already defined — finish every technology in the current age, then pay the next age's resource cost — but the Advance Age action stays locked while later-age progression is prepared.
How many settlements can I have in the Stone Age?
A Stone Age civilization may have up to two Hearths. They belong to the same civilization and share one resource pool and one population pool. Founding the second Hearth does not create extra citizens.
Account
What happens to a guest civilization?
Guest progress can be lost. Signing out deletes your civilization, and leaving it inactive for about 24 hours may do the same. Choose Save progress to keep it. If you save by email, you have seven days to confirm your address.
