Civitatem Announced
September 6, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
LW Games's lonewolf developer George Neguceanu recently
announced that is working on his second PC game Civitatem, a
medieval city builder now in a pre-alpha stage and soon
available for press and early financial backers of the game.
Civitatem is a medieval city builder where you help your
villagers build a new settlement in dangerous lands by making
use of their skills and available world resources. Shape the
future of your people by managing and assigning the most skilled
villager for each task. Educate them and research new
technologies, fight off the natural elements or raiders and
explore the land for new villages to develop new trades routes,
acquire new technologies and develop diplomatic relations.
Features:
§ Procedural Maps - Territory Maps and Land maps are procedural
generated along with the resources.
§ Villager Needs - Each villager has a certain numbers of needs
for him to survive. Not fulfilling his needs like having access
to food, shelter and water, might lead to the villager's death
or him and his family departing your lands.
§ Dynamic Events - Every season is a challenge. From a chance to
being raided by some greedy raiders, getting attacked by
wildlife or experiencing a natural disaster, there is no time to
relax, unless you are prepared. Not all events are negative.
There are also positive events that might help your village grow
faster.
§ Seasons, Day and Night cycle and Weather - Seasons are
important due to weather, temperature and times to harvest and
plant crops.
§ Research System - By educating and acquiring books for your
people you can develop new technologies ranging from military to
farming and architecture. Some technologies will be unlocked
only when you perform certain actions.
§ Crafting - having the best armors, weapons and tools is the
route to success in these dangerous lands.
§ Territory Exploration and Diplomacy - Besides your territory,
you can send scouts to search the land for other villages and
points of interest with which you can interact, providing
rewards ranging from acquiring new books for your libraries to
developing trade treaties or other diplomatic relations.
Civitatem is currently in development in Pre-Alpha and is
planned to be released in Early Access on the official site,
Steam and Humble Store later this year.
