How to Play Empire City

Empire City is a classic management game set in ancient times where you get to build an entire city, including roadways, residential homes, waterways, workshops, and more -- all from a blank slate with a bit of help from two close advisors: Julia and Flavius.

The game starts with a full intro from Julia and Flavius, which will walk you through step by step how to build your city. Once you have the hang of it, you're on your own. But not to worry—help from your advisors is just a click away.

Julia and Flavius guide you through the following directions:

Julia: "Welcome to the city, Prefect! I’m Julia. I run an inn here, and I know everything about everyone. This is Flavius, the architect."

Flavius: "My projects can do the talking for me! The first one is a residential building. Let’s get to work!"

Julia: "Remember, every building in the city must be connected to a road."

Action: You get to build a road.

Flavius: "Congratulations, Prefect! The building is ready. We can house people in it now."

Julia: "People?! There’s barely room for one citizen. The building needs to be upgraded."

Action: Build a house.

Flavius: "Prefect, we have a problem. We need clay to make the house more spacious, but it’s mined outside the city."

Julia: "If it’s even mined at all! The clay quarry is in bad shape, and the tool storage is totally dilapidated. But our Prefect can solve that, right?"

Action: Fix the clay quarry.

Julia: "Now we can hire a manager! But that can happen later. First, we need to build a road to deliver the clay to the city."

Action: Build a road.

Flavius: "The road is wonderful, Prefect! Collect the mined clay, and my people will deliver it to the construction site right away."

Action: Collect the clay.

Flavius: "Thank you for the help. I’ll get to work upgrading the house right now!"

Julia: "You and Flavius are doing wonderfully! Let’s upgrade another house. It could use a second floor, with a good view of the city."

Flavius: "Regular clay isn’t enough to build another floor. This requires a sturdier material, such as clay mixture."

Julia: "Alas, this material isn’t produced in our city. Although the Prefect could give orders to build a special workshop."

Julia: "If you don’t want to wait, use gems! Their shine speeds up any project. The first time is free, though."

Action: Use gems.

Flavius: "Very grand, Prefect. Now we won’t lack building materials. Give the order to produce clay mixture."

Julia: "Production can take a long time. When it ends, a clay mixture icon will appear above the workshop."

Action: Wait for production to finish.

Flavius: "It’s ready, Prefect! Tap the icon to move the mixture to the warehouse."

Action: Move the mixture to the warehouse.

Julia: "So, are we going to upgrade the house or just pretend that it’s intentionally unfinished?"

Flavius: "Please accept this scroll. I sketched out some improvements. Remember, Prefect, Julia and I are always here to support you!"

You're on your own after this training. Continue building your empire and make Julia and Flavius proud, Prefect!
