Ancient Cities News

We are working on the main content of this update which will consist of the knowledge system. It is an original and historically correct approach to the typical technology system present in other similar games. The knowledge will come with immigration and will be developed by performing related tasks. Of course, knowledge is forgotten over time if it is no longer applied...

Along with the knowledge system and some fixes we are working on including wild dogs for the new version of Ancient Cities. Stay tuned!
