About the Game

Build, Manage, and Expand

Construct and develop a thriving city in Nebuchadnezzar by overseeing agriculture, industry, and trade. Every decision impacts the economy, requiring careful planning to ensure that citizens have access to the goods and services they need. Different population classes, industries, and workforce types play a role in the city’s success, creating complex but rewarding challenges for both newcomers and experienced city builders.

Experience Mesopotamian History

The main campaign spans more than a dozen historical missions, covering key moments from the early colonization of Mesopotamia to the Persian conquest of Babylon in the 6th century BC. Each mission immerses you in a specific time period, presenting unique challenges that reflect the era’s political, economic, and technological realities. 

Will you choose to worship Inanna to receive more prestige from trade? Or perhaps support Enlil to more rapidly grow your populace? It’s up to you how you engage with deities to expand trade as you manage resources in your growing city.

Design and Construct Grand Monuments

Monuments are more than just impressive structures—they are an opportunity for creativity. The in-game monument editor gives players complete control over design, allowing customization of the layout, color scheme, and intricate details. Whether recreating historical wonders or designing something entirely new, players have the freedom to shape the architectural legacy of their city. Will you recreate history or make your own path?

Extensive Modding and Localization Support

Nebuchadnezzar is built with modding and localization in mind, allowing you to expand your game with new buildings, goods, production chains, maps, and missions. Nearly every aspect of the game is moddable, providing endless possibilities for customization. 

It’s in your hands how you shape your legacy within Nebuchadnezzar.
