Our take on Civitatem
Villagers build experience in their assigned specialties, making the workforce itself a progression system rather than a fixed set of interchangeable workers.
What is Civitatem?
Civitatem is a medieval settlement-building game in which villagers use their skills to develop a village in dangerous territory.
Assign people to tasks, meet their needs for food, shelter, and water, and train children at school. Villagers gain experience in their specialties, while a village elder remains available for tasks when others are asleep or injured. Explore procedurally generated land, send scouts to find other villages for trade, and gather books to research technologies. Seasons, weather, wildlife, raiders, and other events affect village life. Three difficulty levels offer different challenges and progression. After completing the game once, Free Mode removes events and combat. Victory requires a stable settlement and one of two end-game buildings.
