CivEconomy

Lead a Stone Age people. Every one of them is real.

CivEconomy is a strategy game about a tribe at the edge of history. You are its leader. You decide where the hands go, what the people learn, what is built and when to fight. They live with the result.

People with names, ages and families. Food counted in calories, sickness that comes with the seasons, tools that take real work and real knowledge to make. Nothing is invented for free, and every number answers "why?".

A WORLD YOU WALK, CLAIM AND BUILD ON

- A living 3D world. Generated maps from Small to Huge, with rivers, forests, game and deposits. Fog of war: you only know what your people have seen.

- Seasons that matter. Rivers rise in spring and freeze in a hard winter. Nobody explores in deep winter. Nobody marches with the harvest still standing.

- The village is real work. Choose where the hearth stands, then enter the village and build it: huts, stores, workshops, a palisade, a gate, a watchtower. Every work needs materials and hands, and the woods come down tree by tree.

AN ECONOMY THAT RUNS ON ITS OWN RULES

- From stone to steel. Fields, salt works, mines, the smelter and the forge. Each step needs what came before and someone who knows how.

- Trade emerges. What a good is worth comes from who needs it. A currency can appear on its own.

- Health and food are one system. A hungry people gets sick. A sick people works less. A short harvest is felt for years.

NEIGHBOURS AS REAL AS YOU

The other peoples are simulated by the same rules: they farm, trade, learn, pray and raid. Send gifts, make peace, hold a grudge. War bands are named warriors, and they remember. Difficulty comes from the world you pick, never from an AI that cheats.

FIGHT IT YOURSELF

When a raid comes, open the battle and command it in real time on the ground where it happens: your palisade, your gate, the river and its fords. Warriors, spearmen, skirmishers and archers, dressed in the age of their arms. Whoever falls on the field is gone from the village for good. Or let it be decided, after reading the odds.

NO VICTORY SCREEN

Twenty-two deeds your people may be remembered for. Named ages. Reigns that end, a leader who can be deposed, an Exodus when all is lost. Do five of the eight great deeds and the story of your people is told. Then go on.

LEARNING TO READ IT

A short opening tour, first-time tips, a Council that tells you what is wrong, and an Elder you can ask in your own words ("how do I get copper?"). Hover any value to see what it is made of.

HONEST NOTES

- The 3D update replaces the old 2D, text-driven game. Typed commands are gone: everything is a click now.

- English only for now. Portuguese is coming.

- No AI runs while you play. The AI disclosure below lists the pre-generated content.
