Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic Expansion Pack
Release Date: May 22, 2025
The third expansion for the "communist city builder" from 2024. Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic - Early Start allows us to proceed with building cities in the 1930s. This is related to managing an economy based on mining coal. We must also deal with various technological restrictions. We can play on 2 new maps, trying to build Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Workers & Resources Soviet Republic - Early Start is the third (after World Maps) expansion to the city builder strategy game released in 2024 (as a full version). The game is about building our own Soviet republic from scratch. Similar to the base version, the expansion was developed by 3Division Entertainment studio.
As the title suggests, Workers & Resources Soviet Republic - Early Start gives us the opportunity to start building our socialist paradise earlier. The add-on allows us to decide whether we want to start the game in the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s (which are added to the later decades from the base version of the game).
An earlier start means having to face challenges that fade into oblivion in later years. We must plan our cities, taking into the lower performance of vehicles and machines. We can use previously unavailable models from the era - from cars, buses and trucks, through trains and trams, to airplanes and ships.
Most of our activities are related to the skillful use of coal. "Black gold" is the basic raw material driving almost the entire industry. The culmination of all this are the buildings. Simple, brick buildings are easy to construct, but their efficiency leaves something to be desired, and they additionally pollute the air. Over time we gain access to more modern construction techniques and invent new architectural styles such as brutalism or Soviet modernism.
The expansion gives us access to two new maps, allowing us to build Moscow and Saint Petersburg completely from scratch or based on the initial population and the first buildings. The list of new features is topped by monuments that we can erect in our cities.
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic - Early Start is a non-standalone add-on, therefore it requires the base version of the game Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.
