Citadelum is a city‑building strategy game set in a mythic age where you answer to—or defy—the ancient gods. Start by carving out a settlement in forests and quarries, gathering wood, stone and food, breeding livestock, growing crops, fishing and even making wine to keep your citizens healthy and content. Build and upgrade houses, workshops and aqueducts, and recruit artisans, farmers or carpenters to develop your economy. As your village prospers, raise walls and towers for defense and train soldiers for your legions.
Once your town is secure, send out explorers across a detailed world map to lift sieges, discover legendary artifacts and chart new lands. Engage in tactical auto‑battle combat with barbarian foes, then establish trade routes to import exotic resources and fuel further growth. Complete missions for the Senate and expand your influence across distant regions.
Along the way, seek favor—or invoke the wrath—of the gods. Construct temples, offer sacrifices and unlock divine powers that can turn the tide of war or devastate your rivals. Each deity you choose to honor brings unique rewards and consequences, creating a branching, replayable narrative full of miraculous interventions and fearsome punishments.
With its three‑layered design—core city‑building, strategic expansion and the unpredictable role of the pantheon—Citadelum delivers a fresh take on empire management and mythological adventure.
