We first became aware of the Doexvex in 2702. They reside on the windy planet Exso in the Ecse system. They are artistic, reliable, and flamboyant.
The Doexvex have begun to cultivate crops. One especially popular crop is doxveox, a kind of sweet fruit.
The Doexvex make widespread use of stone tools in a variety of contexts, especially when hunting the wild demdec.
In 2765, many of the warring Doexvex kingdoms were united under a single banner by an individual known as Exso the Merciful. The resulting empire has its capital at Deocdoc and rules over approximately 13% of the entire Doexvex population. Like many other Doexvex states, it is governed by direct democratic vote.
The Doexvex have learned how to catch water-dwelling creatures such as the deoxvoc, which is now an important part of the Doexvex diet.
In spite of a few early mishaps, the Doexvex have mastered the control of fire. They use it to cook their food, and to light their villages at night.
The Doexvex have begun to construct permanent dwellings and other structures, making especially extensive use of wood as a building material.
The Doexvex have developed a simple system of writing, which they use primarily for worship.
The Doexvex have discovered how to forge molten metal into jewelry, tools, weapons, and armor.
The Doexvex have built elaborate pipe and sewer systems to supply their larger settlements, such as Deocdoc, with fresh water and a hygenic means of waste disposal.
The Doexvex have begun to watch the skies and recognize patterns in the movements of stars, which they use to navigate over great distances and keep track of time.
The Doexvex have developed a sophisticated understanding of basic mathematics, such as arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
In 2919, the Doexvex population reached 25 million individuals. Many of these live within permanent cities, the largest of which is known as Deocdoc and has a population of 47,000.
The Doexvex have begun to make use of more sophisticated construction techniques, relying on sturdy structural elements such as arches and buttresses to support larger and larger buildings.
In 2941, an emerging religion known as Dexdeex was declared the official religion of the largest Doexvex state. Adherents of Dexdeex wear elaborately decorated caps to mark themselves as believers.
The Doexvex have domesticated a species of small furry predators. The pets assist their Doexvex owners with navigation in exchange for food and shelter.
The Doexvex have learned how to build ships and sail them across the oceans of Exso to explore and trade over increasingly greater distances.
Due to its role as the birthplace of several major Doexvex religions, including the especially prominent Dexdeex faith, the city of Deocdoc is regarded by many of the Doexvex as a holy site. Leaders from all around the world travel to the city in order to curry favor with the leaders of their people's religion of choice.
The Doexvex have begun to use lenses and mirrors made from polished crystal, glass, and water to redirect and focus light.
Some of the Doexvex have begun to experiment with alchemy, systematically searching for new ways of combining and manipulating ingredients to yield useful chemicals, compounds, and medicines.
The Doexvex have developed a simple printing press, and mass-produced versions of important texts have begun to circulate widely throughout the world. Satire is especially popular.
The Doexvex have begun to construct wind and water mills, which redirect the forces of the natural world to perform repetitive mechanical tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water.
The Doexvex have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use for explosive mining.
In their efforts to understand the motion of planets in the sky, free-falling bodies, and projectiles, the Doexvex have developed a new branch of mathematics which is immediately recognizable as calculus.
The Doexvex have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Doexvex population.
The Doexvex have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.
The Doexvex have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Exso to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.
The Doexvex have discovered that electromagnetic waves may be used to transmit information, enabling the development and widespread deployment of media for audiovisual broadcasting.
The Doexvex have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.
Through systematic observation and categorization of the various living things on Exso, the Doexvex have begun to develop a more sophisticated understanding of biology. Some theorists have even put forth the idea that dramatically different-looking organisms, such as the demdec and the deoxvoc, may in fact be descended from a single common ancestor.
The Doexvex have begun to develop rockets.
The Doexvex have begun to understand quantum physics.
With the development of the transistor, the Doexvex have begun to construct more sophisticated electronic circuits.
The Doexvex have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.
The Doexvex have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Exso.
The Doexvex have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Exso before retrieving them safely.
The Doexvex have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
The Doexvex have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
In 3291, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Doexvex nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Doexvex.
The Doexvex have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Doexvex have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
The Doexvex have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
Although initially controversial, the idea that diseases are caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Doexvex, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.
The Doexvex have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Exso. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Ecse system, the distribution of Doexvex civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
The Doexvex have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
The Doexvex have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Ecse system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.
so. ive been playing this game futilely for years now. really enjoying it, though. learning what i think are lessons about perseverance and loneliness, connection and space. and i get on here to show my friends about how hard it is to get very far in this game. we were having a discussions about the fermi paradox, and i wanted to show off one of the many ways a civilization can die abruptly.
it was the whole point of me opening the game today.

so. ive been playing this game futilely for years now. really enjoying it, though. learning what i think are lessons about perseverance and loneliness, connection and space. and i get on here to show my friends about how hard it is to get very far in this game. we were having a discussions about the fermi paradox, and i wanted to show off one of the many ways a civilization can die abruptly.
it was the whole point of me opening the game today.
so.
of course today i won.
I have so many mixed emotions right now.
anyway 10/10 game.
