Sumerians

About the game

A closer look.

Sumerians is a city-building game inspired by the history of the third millennium BC in Mesopotamia, a time of incredible urban growth and development of the Sumerian city-states. The game focuses on urban planning, economics, and resource management. You can play the campaign or start your own city, choosing between several maps and difficulty levels. Begin with a small settlement near a river. Your citizens will grow their own food and find the products they need at the first market stalls. Build a temple and hire priests to increase your religious influence and attract new citizens. Pay the salaries of your workers with crops from your own fields. Build walls. The game has no warfare or attacks, but walls are required to construct certain buildings and to level up the houses. Help your citizens achieve a balance between farmers, artisans, and vendors while considering your own needs of workers for the State. Increase your agricultural areas with irrigation canals. Provide services like Water, Security, Health and Beautification, and your citizens will reach a higher standard of living. Improve your economy with manufacturing buildings, better transportation, storage, trading, and profit. Build palaces, gardens, temples, and a great ziggurat. Research new technologies to unlock buildings and create new trade routes.
