Trade routes that pay more the longer they run
You lay out settlements so one town's output becomes the next one's input, then link them with multi-stop caravans. Each extra city on the route snowballs its value, so a short hop earns a little and a well-planned loop earns a lot. You decide where roads go, which goods travel together, and when a settlement is ready to grow. Every incoming road upgrades a town, which brings tougher choices and bigger payoffs — and new demands to feed.
Tribute for very particular gods
Each temple wants a single sacred resource tied to its god, and your job is to land the right goods at the right shrine. Deliver, and the gods hand back gifts that bend the rules and open new lines of play. Different god combinations ask for different resource chains, so you keep reworking the same web instead of solving it once. Think of it as keeping picky dinner guests happy, except dinner is logistics and the guests can rewrite the menu.
What else should city builder fans know?
How long does a run take?
Runs are built to last 30 to 60 minutes. You can chase a turn limit or work through a tricky set of quests, then start fresh on a new map.
Can you pause and rethink a bad road?
Yes. It runs in real time with pause, so you can stop the clock while you plan. A limited undo button lets you walk back mistakes and try stranger layouts without starting over.
Does the map change between runs?
Yes. Maps are procedurally generated, and winning unlocks new quests and victory conditions. Terrain, god combinations, and starting options push you toward different chains each time.
What does it look like moment to moment?
A quirky, high-contrast, minimalist style where towns, roads, and goods stay easy to read. The tone stays relaxed and low-pressure, with automation handling the caravans once the routes are set.
