About the Game
Step into ancient Greece as the leader of a promising city-state
Turn your city into a thriving metropolis by balancing both internal governance and external diplomacy. Build magnificent structures, unlock groundbreaking innovations, and navigate a complex economic system - the city's fate lay in your hands.
Choose among 150+ historical city maps
Want to play as one of the historical heavy-weights like Athens or Sparta? Or maybe found your very own city on a small secluded island? The choice is yours! The location you select will have huge effects on your city - providing great gameplay variation.
Build your city and care for the families within it
Attending to the needs of your people will be crucial, otherwise you will soon see your loyal subjects turn against you. Will you defend your spot on the top even when doing so might hurt the city and its inhabitants?
Though your city might grow powerful it will never exist in isolation
Other cities around you will offer both commercial and diplomatic opportunities, but may also pose a threat to the city you’ve worked so hard to build.

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Unity recently discovered that their game engine had a security flaw and recommended developers to update their games to fix the issue - thus this update :)
No other changes.
Errors
- Fixed a bug that could cause save files to not load
As usual, huge thanks to those that take the time to report bugs! :)
Errors
- Fixed a bug which could happen in larger cities. This bug could result in walkers freezing in place, time stopping (not moving to next month), and save files not loading.
Please note that loading save files where the "time stopping" issue happened may cause some weird behaviour (like the season visuals not being correct etc.), but all other saves files should be fine.
Huge thanks to those that take their time to report bugs!
