Our take on Chang'an: The capital of Tang Dynasty
Rather than presenting a fictional settlement on a conventional city-builder map, the game uses Chang'an's stated historical scale and fills it with reconstructed gates, palaces, and landmarks. Its central departure is geographic and architectural recreation, with decorative historical structures sharing the map with city-management systems.
What is Chang'an: The capital of Tang Dynasty?
Reconstruct Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty capital, across an 81.
3-square-kilometer city map based on historical and architectural research. Place residences, commercial areas, public facilities, gardens, water-supply buildings, and production structures in each Fang, a large square zone within the city. The city uses gold, labor, knowledge, and Authority as resources. Palaces provide one way to increase Authority as the population grows.
Reaching milestones unlocks landmarks such as the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and Qujiang Lake. Three imperial palaces are included as reconstructed buildings: Da Ming Palace, Tai Ji Palace, and Xing Qing Palace. Growing the noble population grants poet and painting cards that can be placed in equipment slots for special bonuses. Historical gates and other structures also populate the map as decorative elements.
