Civitas

Civitas is a free-to-play strategy empire-building browser game written in JavaScript with the help of the jQuery library. Players develop and maintain their settlement from initial village to a fully grown metropolis, influencing and conquering the neighbouring settlements.

There is no set goal, game is played on an infinite-round basis and there is a server component planned. The focus of the game is to manufacture and trade resources in order to raise the level of your city.

Features

• Over 80 types of buildings, each intertwined in the chain of production.
• Custom climate zones, each with specific buildings.
• Global market, player can trade goods with other settlements.
• Army! Navy! Soldiers! Ships!
• Fame system that allows your city to level up via trades, conquests and special buildings.
• Prestige system that affects diplomacy.
• Each city in the game world (AI or player) is linked via an influence system that needs to be maintained for diplomacy to work.
• Random events that can change your diplomacy status with the other cities, give you coins or random resources.
• Espionage, influence cities, destroy buildings, sabotage.
• Ranking screen, where cities get ranked according to their status in the world.
• Declare war, propose alliances and pacts, ask other settlements to join your city, propose cease fire.
• Churches and religions.
• Heroes, unique classes and items, attributes.
• Server component (for now no actual data is saved externally, only in your browser’s localStorage).
• Jailer component that assures game data integrity (no cheating).
• Any player interaction since no data is transmitted to the server component.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) for computer-controlled cities.
