소개
City Tales is a refreshing take on the medieval city-building genre that abandons the traditional grid for a completely organic approach. Players act as the architect of a sprawling kingdom, managing distinct districts that auto-populate based on strategic placement and citizen needs. Blending cozy simulation with light RPG elements, you must guide your companions and automate production to evolve from a humble hamlet into a bustling empire.
스토리
Your journey begins with a simple land deed and a vision for a thriving capital. You are not alone in this endeavor; unique companions join your cause, each bringing their own tales and skills to the table. As you expand from a lonely outpost to a grand castle, the narrative unfolds through the personal growth of your advisors and the evolving landscape of your civilization.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around placing circular districts that influence each other via a strategic Venn diagram system to maximize buffs. Within these zones, houses spawn organically, while you assign companions to kickstart production chains until they become fully automated. The challenge lies in spatial management—balancing the strict limit of two functional buildings per district while ensuring your gold economy and resource flow can support a population reaching into the thousands.
