Description

Become the leader your people need, shaping their districts and providing them with the means to thrive and expand your grand kingdom. But don’t fret my Liege; you are not alone. Companions with invaluable skills will aid you in this endeavour as their fates become intertwined with your City Tales.

  • Multiple maps to choose from: Start your new realm in one of the two beautiful locations available.

  • Organic cities: Forsake rigid grids and shape large cities that evolve naturally with a unique district zoning tool.

  • A relaxing pace with challenges: Enjoy rewarding play in a beautiful medieval world, where challenges emerge from the evolution of your city and it's economy.

  • A leader of the people: With your companions, who's skills develop with your guidance, create a city to the peoples needs and desires.

For all walks of life

Each district has its own needs and desires, depending on the people who live there. Some citizens will love a tavern, whilst others prefer the peace of a church. But each area will evolve based on your choices.

A Swift and Impactful Economy

Guide the pulse of a bustling economy. Balance resources with swift, wise decisions and lay the groundwork for your city to rise like a beacon of medieval progress.

Beautify your glorious city your own way

Advisors by your side

With 9 companions, bring strength and knowledge to your city’s economy and story alike. By placing them in charge of vital points of production, they train them to become autonomous and add bonuses. Help them in their own missions to bring even more depth to your city and it's people.

This is an excellent game unless you are a hardcore gamer that demands challenge, and you hate idle games with a passion. This is not an idle game, but the closer to the end game you get, the more often you have all

Great city builder that has 0% survival needs, 10% complexity and 90% cozy! ~10h to complete the main story with the option to go crazy big after that ~5h extra to do all the sidequests and most of the achievements. ~5h
