About This Game

Civlands is a minimalist hybrid mix combining fan favorite elements from popular RTS titles with classic turn-based gameplay. The result is like none other; command a feudal empire from its start and strive to be the dominant civilization in an ever-changing medieval fantasy world. Will you be the number one civ?

• Simplistic, retro pixel art. Civlands aims to focus less on high fidelity graphics and rather high fidelity gameplay--but that doesn't mean the game isn't beautiful! With carefully crafted art that seamlessly blends together, distinct shapes and designs to distinguish units, and a rich particle system, Civlands makes every scene look beautiful.

• Randomly generated maps, procedurally created with care. Each game is entirely unique through procedurally generated maps, based on different map styles. Landlocked? Pangea? Archipelago? Civlands has all that, and much more. Every game guarantees a new experience from the start each time.

• Victory more than one way. The objective of each match is to achieve victory, either through military domination, political prowess, economic superiority, or knowledge.

• AI opponents. Face off against up to a staggering 31 other AI civilizations all vying for world domination, with 5 levels of scaling difficulty. Each AI has uniquely generated attributes that will affect their economic, military, and political focus. The AI is smart and tactical, fine tuned for engaging and rewarding gameplay with or against!

• Fog of War. Civlands features a beautiful fog of war system for increased tactics and rewarded exploration.

• Diplomacy. Talk to other civilizations through diplomacy and negotiate trade deals, declare war, conspire against other civilizations, and more.

• Seasons. Just as a real world changes, so does Civland's. Gameplay is real time with the world gradually responding to the time of year. Experience spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons which will affect combat, economic production, random events, and the visual environment.

• Guard your borders. Spend influence to grow your borders and extend your political power. Stay inside your borders and expand for steady and safe domination or risk building outside its safety and face the dangers the wild has to offer.

• Control without the headaches. Each unit has built in AI that makes it (somewhat) smart. Developed to avoid unnecessary micromanagement, you have the control to guide and configure when you want so that you don't have to stress about every unit's whereabouts at any time. (But for those that love micro, we got that too)

• Progress! Upgrade your buildings, research new technologies, and develop your government.

• Random Events. Experience unique randomly generated events that are based around the context of each game. These events can drastically affect gameplay, providing seasonal bonuses, mini-quests, or negative side effects.

• Government. Develop and manage your government to prevent civil anarchy. Invest influence to shape your government through a unique, branching tree that will affect your civilization's combat, economic, and political power.

• Multiplayer! Skirmish with or against up to 7 other real players and an additional 8 AI opponents for large-scale competitive gameplay.

• Lasting Progress. Accomplish unique challenges and complete matches to gain new charters and legacies that can enhance your Civ in unique and powerful ways in both singleplayer and multiplayer. 

Civlands is a labor of love created by a team of one. It intends to fully release in Q1 2027, after many years of off and on development. Please add to your wishlist and follow for updates on development progress!
