You are the leader of a tribe → village → city → state. You guide your tribe of hunter-gatherers starting from 10, 000 years ago. You discover farming and become the leader of a village. As the population in the region grows, conflicts arise. By 5, 000 years ago, you master copper and bronze technologies, crafting weapons. Villages evolve into cities, and a cultural rise is followed by the decline of war. You are now the leader of a city. Cities wage war against each other, but is it possible to conquer and unite them by force into a single state? To become a king, a Lugal, you need legitimacy. A barbarian may have strength, but how do you gain the recognition of the people? In a quest for legitimacy, you invent the technology of the "state." To prove that you are the chosen one, you build a Great Ziggurat. When people recognize your not only material but also moral superiority - then you will become a king, a Lugal. Have you ever wondered why ancient people built massive ziggurats and pyramids? Did they have nothing better to do with their time and energy? Now, as a king, the answer will come to you naturally. Features: Everything we love about the survival genre: start as a prehistoric tribe, discover technologies, gather resources, craft weapons and armor, and build a base. Simple automation. NPC villagers work on your farms, bake bread, and support your settlement’s economy. Enemy raids. Hostile settlements send raids, forcing you to build defensive walls and towers. Organize your own raid. Craft a siege hammer to breach enemy city walls and plunder their resources. Bosses are cities, not some giant monsters. Conquer all cities in the region to become a Lugal, the Ruler of all Four Corners. Heroic questline for legitimacy. One thing is to defeat another city, but how do you convince it to submit to you? Appoint a governor? If your army leaves the conquered city, it will rebel. You must naturally invent the "state" technology and build your empire.
