Game Overview
Set in beautiful ancient China during the Zhao Song Dynasty, Thriving City: Song puts players into the shoes of a mayor tasked with helping their townsfolk settle into their new home. Manage the town, keep everyone happy, and experience the rise and fall of the Empire in the game’s in-depth Story Mode.
Thriving City: Song is much more than just a city-builder. With a beautiful art style inspired by ancient historical China, players will be immersed in a bustling city as they cultivate the land and expand as much as they can for the comfort of their people. Carefully control agriculture, commerce, politics, and civil affairs, which are closely linked. Create thriving markets and public buildings to attract tourists and balance the town’s fiscal revenue.
