Civitas is a city and world builder game inspired by Renaissance map artwork. Using procedurally formed landscapes, this sandbox-style game allows you the freedom to bring your Medieval and Renaissance cities to life without the pressure of survival. Escape into a world of your own creation!
The Early Access version of Civatlas has core gameplay mechanics that we plan to expand upon. Included in the game:
Map nerds, rejoice! Civatlas is a game inspired by those iconic lithographic bird’s eye view maps of the Renaissance era created by legendary cartographers including John Speed, Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg.
Procedural continental landscapes are formed by plate tectonics. Select and build upon 16km^2 map tiles.
Your Culture choice will affect your World’s name with geographic toponyms and affect the names of your Civvies, based upon the primary language of the Culture selected. This feature will be expanded with more global cultures, biomes and architectural styles!
From humble medieval hamlets to bustling Renaissance cities. Unique ‘Plot’ mechanics parcel your landscape in any way desired. Assign these plots a purpose to discover more upgrades and decorations that lead to unique creations. Civatlas is a game about the freedom to build without the pressures to survive. Escape into a thriving world of your own creation!
Over 100 resources of various types, from mud to money! Resources are essential for construction and Civvie happiness.
Grow from a humble hamlet into a thriving Town. Choose the progression path along purposeful branches: Labor, Law, Faith, Arts and Trade. Uncover architectural history from the early Middle Ages through the early Modern era!
Civvies will bring your maps to life as they move about their Boros and complete their daily tasks. Follow the different narratives of your plots as Civvies move in, live, pass on, give birth, learn, and grow through the seven ages of man, as defined by Shakespeare, and not necessarily in that order.
Neighbouring plots will provide bonuses such as production rates or happiness for your Civvies, depending on building type or plot purpose.
Create a new Atlas and build on other tiles of your generated World. Establish trade routes and chart the growth of your new nation-state!
Expand the cultural content across space and time. From feudal Japan to ancient Rome, we plan to add even more cultures, biomes and architectural styles.
