Thriving City: Song is a city-building simulation game set in ancient China with rich historic, story and strategy elements. As the mayor, you'll need to help the townspeople settle down, cultivate the land and expand the city. More than that, however, you must ensure your people live in peace and prosperity: by providing food and other necessities, lending the people your ear, preventing disasters, and lowering the crime rate. How to respond in the face of crisis is down to you. When the emperor issues a national mandate, an enemy state invades your homeland, or conflicts between factions threaten city development—what strategy will you adopt? How will your decisions change the course of history forever? Features Experience the history of the Song dynasty brought to life, and live through the rise and fall of the empire in Story Mode. Interact with a detailed world that references museum and historical records, with everything from buildings, industries, professions and even clothing from the Song dynasty. Soak in Thriving City's traditional Chinese-style art design, with intricate building and character animations. Control agriculture, industry, commerce, education, civil affairs and politics; all are closely linked, and demand careful planning. Fight disasters and plagues and defend against invasion. Raise a small, run-down village into a thriving city with 2, 000+ citizens on-screen at any one time. Take creative liberties as you build your own bustling cityscape in Adventure Mode.
