Player Trade

Since Patch 0.21 (English Civ), There has been a lot more player trades than usual, which causes extra load on the server. To ensure the server can survive this, I have done lots of optimizations (both the server and the client) and decided to release this patch (0.22) ahead of schedule and move the planned content to 0.23

• Optimize filling a player trade that is faster on the client and reduces server load
• Add options to fill 50%/95% of a trade
• The server has merged existing pending trades. So instead of thousands of trades, now you should have one trade per resource. The fill by column should show "System". This is a one time migration and might be done again later

Balance

• East India Company provides 0.5 Production Multiplier per level (decreased from 1)

Floating Mode

• The brand new "floating mode" that allows you to minimize the game to a floating window on your desktop: you can work on other stuff and keep an eye on your empire! You can even turn festival on/off and adjust warp speed

Bugfix

• Fix a bug where the Poseidon misses Worker Capacity Multiplier
• Fix a bug where wonders that are being upgraded (i.e. Matrioshka Brain) do not show up in Statistics Building

Empire Must Grow

Expand your empire's territory, production and influence, advance your population's science and culture, and make your people happy - the empire must grow, and numbers must go up!

Every Run is Different

Explore a procedurally generated map, scouting for resources and natural wonders. Expand your empire and take advantage of different terrains. As technology advances, you can even reshape the terrain.

A Vast Tech Tree

Research and unlock a vast tech tree with 100+ technologies: from hunting and gathering, through writing and math, all the way to virtual reality and artificial intelligence. As technology advances, you will unlock more game systems and mechanisms that greatly expand the game play.

Trade and Diplomacy

Trade resources and engage in diplomacy with other players via a global market. Exchanging resources, forming alliances and fighting for influence - can your culture stand in the end?

Wonder-full Empire

Throughout different eras, construct different world wonders that provide unique bonuses, unlock new game mechanism and make your map look pretty.

Reborn with Great People

When you prestige, you will be able to collect great people - historical great figures, each with unique bonuses and abilities that will help your next run reach new height.

90s Retro UI

A 90's retro UI, that is a love letter to the golden age of desktop computing, will surely bring back some nostalgia. There's a 1-1 replicated mode which brings maximum authenticity and a "eye protection mode" that captures the essence but is easier on your eye on modern displays.

A Game For the People

If your computer can run paint, you can probably run CivIdle. Similar to Industry Idle, the game will NOT include any micro transactions. Instead, the base game will be free of charge and you can optionally get more content, support the game's development and help cover the server expense by purchasing paid expansion packs.
