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.

Warning

In development, Civitas is using several assets that are copyrighted by Bluebyte, so I cannot redistribute them with the game.
