You lead a civilization from early eras toward the future, developing its territory on a hex-based map. Each run features a procedurally generated landscape with resources and natural wonders to discover.
Place and upgrade buildings to produce resources, workers, and science, then balance production, transport, and population happiness as your settlement grows. Research advances through a large technology tree, unlocking new buildings, resources, and systems.
Construct wonders for special bonuses, trade resources with other players, and choose among civilizations with different traits. When you rebirth, your current run resets and Great People provide lasting bonuses for future runs.
Players who enjoy incremental management often praise the depth of planning production chains, balancing resources, and optimizing building layouts, with rebirths and long-term progression giving them goals to pursue. Some also like checking in while the game runs in the background and experimenting with different civilizations. Recurring reservations include slow, repetitive runs, unclear interface or guidance, and frustration with the player-trading system and time-gated progression.
