Our take on Nebuchadnezzar
The monument editor is the defining detail: city development extends beyond economic planning into custom architectural design, with control over each monument’s layout, colors, and decorative elements.
What is Nebuchadnezzar?
Nebuchadnezzar is an isometric city-building game set in ancient Mesopotamia.
Players lay out cities and manage agriculture, industry, trade, supplies, and services for varied population classes and worker groups. Its campaign features more than a dozen historical scenarios, from the first settlements in Mesopotamia to Babylon’s capture by Persia during the sixth century BC. Choices about worshipping deities, including Inanna and Enlil, can influence trade prestige or the pace of population growth. An editor lets players adjust monument designs, including their layouts, color schemes, and details. Modding support allows additions such as buildings, goods, production chains, maps, and missions.
