Why Early Access?

“We are a small studio and are interested if you like the game idea.
We still have some ideas and plans to expand the gaming experience and are looking forward to your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for the further features at least 2 more years. With this sufficient amount of time we can better guarantee that the game can go into the 1.0 release version without game blockers and with all planned features.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Plans include:

- Build new villages with your settlers.
- New important buildings, as well as more types of buildings presented visually.
- Families- and dynasty system.
- Advanced research.
- More and bigger maps.
- Other units (such as riders, archer, siege weapons, spies) for more depths.
- Advanced trade and exchange between empires.
- Events (raids, diseases, natural disasters, etc.)
- More victory options.
- More languages.
- New Sounds and Music.
- Optimization of graphics and performance.
- much more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game can be played completely on a larger island. These starting points differ with each game. The basic goal is to stand against the other villages and unite all under one ruler. In addition, there is another secret opportunity to win the game.

In detail you can do the following:
- Manage your empire
- Manage and grow your Cities.
- Do Basic research
- Build up an Army.
- Defend and conquer other cities with your army
- Diplomacy with other Empires.
- A lot more small and bigger things like weather influence and so on.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We want to thank early supporters with a lower price. At the current time it is planned to adjust the price with further updates and expanded game content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback is required and desired. As a small studio, we will take as much of it into account as possible. You can give us feedback directly via Steam, as well as under info@civitas-nova.com and soon also on our still under construction webpage www.civitas-nova.com where also a forum integration is planned.”
