About the Game

Immerse yourself in the world of Ancient China and build your dream cities on one of the hand-crafted maps. It will sit where stunning nature and fantastical setting mix with urban planning. Watch the season change as your settlement grows from a few buildings with peasants to a bustling city worthy of the Emperor's visit.

After your appointment as the Governor of this land, people’s lives are in your hands. You must fulfill the Emperor’s wish and bring prosperity to the city. Making decisions is no funny business; as there are more people, your citizens' needs grow bigger. As the governor, you must deliver their requests or face unhappy residents.

Create efficient production chains and provide for your city. The infrastructure prepared for your city will run everything smoothly. Seek out perfect spots to extract natural resources and place your food production on the ideal plot of land. If you succeed in planning everything out, even the most catastrophic weather conditions and harshest winters won’t be able to destroy your city.

The Emperor's blessing allows you to join the trade routes and cooperate with other settlements for resources and materials. You can send out caravans and trade with friendly cities around you.

Worshiping the right gods is always a tricky business, so building positive relationships with all of them may benefit your citizens. Gods' blessings and miracles are powerful gifts that will help your cities grow bigger.

Unfortunately, the supernatural has a darker side, demons bring sorrow and fear into the hearts of your citizens.

Jump into the beautiful world of Celestial Empire! Plan, develop, and grow magnificent cities, which will bring your pride and joy on every stage of your governing journeys.
