## Description
Ever wondered what it takes to build a civilization from the ground up? In Hadara, you don't start with an empire, but with a tiny settlement and the ambition to transform it into the most glorious culture in history. The game unfolds across three distinct epochs, and your mission is to guide this growth, evolving from humble beginnings into a sophisticated high culture. But you won't be doing it alone! The secret lies in attracting the right people to your city.

You will recruit historical figures and professionals from various continents and eras. Need architects to expand your infrastructure? Philosophers to elevate the intellectual level? Or perhaps warriors to ensure no one tries to seize what is yours? The choice is yours, but remember: each epoch brings more skilled workers who, while more expensive, offer much higher returns. Balance is key here. If you focus solely on culture and forget agriculture, your population will starve; if you ignore the military, you'll be left vulnerable.

The gameplay involves skillfully selecting people and achievements to accumulate honor and glory. It's an exercise in priority management where you must decide who to hire and which path to follow to outpace your opponents. Can you balance military power, agricultural production, and cultural refinement to create the ultimate civilization? The race for glory has begun, and every decision will shape the legacy you leave for future generations. Get ready to assemble your civilization puzzle and show the world who's in charge!
