Mill Games and LW Games have announced the release date for their upcoming medieval city-builder Civitatem. Civitatem is slated for release on PC via Steam on August 1, 2022. The game will offer a 10% launch discount for its first week at the base price of $12.99. Civitatem is a medieval city builder where you help your villagers raise a new settlement in dangerous lands. You use your villagers’ skills and the resources that are currently available in the world for expanding and sustaining your settlements.
In Civitatem, your most important resource is your villagers and each of your villagers is specialized in something. You must use their specializations to utilize their full potential and as they perform their designated tasks, their skill levels increase even further. You can also educate the villagers in schools and libraries to allow them to handle more complex tasks and jobs. Apart from this, you must take care of your villagers’ health to ensure that they are always active and working to their full potential.
As you try to settle in, nature will bring its own set of challenges along the path. You will need to face different seasons, storms, diseases, quakes, and other natural calamities as well. You can research and increase your level of education, technology, and civilization to construct stronger settlements that will survive these tough times. Apart from nature, you will need to prepare to defend yourself from raiders, wild animals, and prying neighbors who do not want to see you expand.
The developer has released a new trailer to celebrate the news that you can check out below:
Key features of the game include:
- Procedural Maps – Territory Maps and Land maps are procedurally generated along with the resources.
- Villager Needs – Each villager has a certain number 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.
- Territory Exploration and Trade – 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 research. Trade with other villages for books or other goods.
- Advanced Crafting – Having the best armors, weapons and tools is the route to success in these dangerous lands.
- Combat and Diplomacy – Defend your territory against raiders and aggressive neighbors, and later even attack back. Develop trade treaties or other diplomatic relations.
