Become a character within alternate history. Create your persona, choose a role, build stats, form relationships, and face consequences that shape your story -- and the world around you.
Start PlayingEvery character is shaped by seven core attributes. Your stats determine which choices are available, which skill checks you pass, and how the world reacts to you.
Your political power and ability to sway others
Combat prowess and command of armed forces
Economic resources and trade connections
Education, research, and strategic thinking
How the world sees you -- hero, villain, or legend
Arcane power (available in fantasy genre packs)
Physical condition -- injuries, illness, and aging
Each role comes with default stat distributions and unlocks unique event options. Or create a custom role with your own stat spread.
Lead a nation. High influence and reputation, balanced military and wealth.
Command armies. Highest military stat, strong reputation, moderate influence.
Build an empire of trade. Highest wealth, strong knowledge, good reputation.
Seek truth and innovation. Highest knowledge, moderate influence and reputation.
Operate in shadows. Balanced stats, high wealth, lower reputation.
Wield arcane power. Highest magic, strong knowledge, lower health.
Shape beliefs and movements. High influence and reputation, some magic.
Chronostates adds a character layer on top of the Chronoverse engine. Every system -- events, arcs, world state -- now flows through your character.
Every major decision is gated by your stats. A ruler might charm their way past a crisis, while a rogue picks the lock. Your build determines your options.
Build alliances, rivalries, and romances with AI-generated characters. Your relationships influence events and unlock unique story paths.
Health drops to zero? Your character dies. The timeline continues without you -- unless you're playing Chronolegacy, where your heir takes over.
In Chronolegacy mode, death isn't the end. Your heir inherits a portion of your stats, your allies, and your enemies. Dynasties span centuries.
Stats evolve based on your choices. Lead armies and your military grows. Study ancient texts and knowledge increases. Every action shapes who you become.
In fantasy packs, magic is a real stat. In real-history, it's replaced by extra reputation. Your role plays differently depending on the world.
Chronostates is available on Explorer plans and above. Create your first character today.
