It's been quite a while since the demo went live. Thanks to your feedback we identified a number of aspects of the game that could be improved, or that just weren't fun altogether. One of these was the battle system. Currently the battles in Citizens are turn based. They take a long time and aren't really exciting. For this reason we overhauled them completely! We opted in for a real time system. The battles will now be fast paced, taking anywhere between a minute, to three minutes max. You'll be able to place your units on the board, much like you can do currently, and then all hell will be let loose! Although your army has automatic AI command, you'll be able to override individual orders. You can see the teaser of the battle here: [previewyoutube=raBR0h6wErk;full][/previewyoutube] We kept the terrain modifiers, so moving into the woods, or ordering your archers to fire from a hill will provide certain benefits to your units. Another thing we want to show you is the thematic "Worker Trailer". Everything here is recorded in game. You'll see many updated building meshes AND villager animations! That's right - most buildings now feature villagers walking around and doing various tasks.

Remember to wishlist the game if you haven't already done so, and send the links to your friends!

Citizens is a turn-based hybrid of a city builder and strategic puzzler where you create beautiful cities, manage resources, plan long term investments, trade with foreign civilisations and look after your subjects. Explore beautiful islands, deal with difficult problems, and think about your next move very carefully, for it could be your undoing!
Our demo offers you a taste of what Citizens is like. It presents you with early-game mechanics and showcases the basics of combat and trade.
Citizens offers:
- New approach to city-building games
- Three campaigns with challenging quests and varying difficulty levels
- Over 50 buildings spread over numerous production chains
- Over 30 different resources to extract, process and manufacture
- Mechanics to spice up your experience such as plagues, fires and winters
- Combat and Trade
- Endless fun with random level generation
Meet various civilisations along the way. Sightsee ancient temples, trade with scattered outposts, and defend yourself from plunderous Vikings! Be mindful... Ravaging barbarians are not your only enemies. Fire and Plague can be dangerous too.
With all this doom and gloom above, just keep in mind one thing...
If all you want is a peaceful and soothing experience, then try out Free-Build mode! Place buildings without any restrictions on a randomly generated island, or try out economy mode for something more challenging: that's where anything can happen! You'll never run out of new lands to explore. Something will always be different.
