About the Game

Become the leader your people need, shaping their districts and providing them with the means to thrive and expand your grand kingdom. But don’t fret my Liege; you are not alone. Companions with invaluable skills will aid you in this endeavour as their fates become intertwined with your City Tales.

  • Multiple maps to choose from: Start your new realm in one of the two beautiful locations available.

  • Organic cities: Forsake rigid grids and shape large cities that evolve naturally with a unique district zoning tool.

  • A relaxing pace with challenges: Enjoy rewarding play in a beautiful medieval world, where challenges emerge from the evolution of your city and it's economy.

  • A leader of the people: With your companions, who's skills develop with your guidance, create a city to the peoples needs and desires.

For all walks of life

Each district has its own needs and desires, depending on the people who live there. Some citizens will love a tavern, whilst others prefer the peace of a church. But each area will evolve based on your choices.
