Immerse yourself in an engaging experience provided by devs with the utmost care. Explore aesthetics purely based on ancient China and its traditions. Watch the highly detailed buildings, along with a rich natural environment come all together and enjoy these stunning visuals while exploring the hand-crafted map.
 

Let’s dive into the game’s key features:

  • Immersive Cities of Ancient China – The game offers you a wide range of constructions, including over 80 buildings, which allows you to create truly unique cities. Choose freely between beauty-oriented or efficiency-oriented approaches while immersing yourself into the climatic world of Ancient China, its traditions, culture, and beliefs, all enhanced by captivating elements of fantasy. 

  • Unique Agriculture System – Feeding your citizens is one of the main priorities, and sometimes the terrain may cause some troubles when preparing your crop fields. The game introduces you to a unique system of water pumps that lets you irrigate all your fields while allowing you freedom in designing and building. Grow different types of crops thanks to carefully designed water channels.

  • Progress, Advance, Grow – Progression is the key, as every empire has to be built from scratch, and your ever-growing city is no different. Buy new technologies and upgrade production buildings to improve their total performance. Upgrade the housing and advance it through multiple tiers. Watch as your citizens grow from uneducated peasants to respected craftsmen, scholars, and lavish upper class representatives. 

  • Developed Production Chains – Create efficient production chains and provide for your city. Be aware of the buildings’ needs. Develop roads to connect them with all the necessary infrastructure and construct a convenient storage system. Avail yourself of over 40 raw materials, turning some of them into luxurious goods at the hands of talented craftsmen.

  • Power of Choice – Making decisions is no funny business. While there are more and more people, your citizens' needs also grow bigger. As the governor, you must deliver their requests or face unhappy residents. The Emperor has given you not only a power but a responsibility to bear, so think of it carefully because the results of your actions will have a visible impact on the game world.

  • Between Divine Island And Yaoguai – God's blessings and miracles are powerful gifts to help your city grow bigger. Gather faith points by cultivating religious traditions among the citizens, just to spend those points later on some blessings on Divine Island. Seek gods’ protection from the demonic yaoguai, who are keen to bring havoc and misfortunes upon your citizens.

  • Silk Road Trade – Join the trade routes and cooperate with other settlements for resources and materials. Send out caravans and trade with friendly cities around you, all while using the renowned Silk Road.

  • Four Seasons’ And Challenges – Watch your city and its surrounding nature as the seasons change. Experience the circumstances of every season, learn, and adapt. Work through the harsh winters – clothe your citizens warmly and prepare wood reserves. Chase the yaoguai away and defeat the upcoming natural disasters. Multiple challenges are waiting for you!

  • Replayable Experience – Each replay provides you with an exciting opportunity to try out some different city-building approaches. Pay attention to your surroundings and plan the city around natural resources’ locations – take advantage of rivers and vast forests. A randomized event and trade systems make your experience even more unique.
