Lead a civilization from ancient times through the modern age in this incremental game centered on territorial expansion, technological advancement, and wonder-building. Manage resources across a deep tech tree while trading with other players, though expect a grinding progression that demands considerable active engagement despite the idle framing.

What players are saying
▼ Not recommended33 hrs
This game aims to be exactly what it advertises as, an idle civilization game, and a lot of it is good. But, I don't recommend at this point.
Another reviewer mentioned, 48 hours is required for functionality to be fully unlocked, but what that reviewer didn't mention, is that is 48 hours of active time, and I strongly disagree with this. Why make an idle game and only give credit for active time? To me, this is an anti-fun mechanic and it diminishes my trust that this game will develop in a good direction.
Things in game are largely tied colony value, and trade is a major emphasis of the game.
The end of the economic tech tree is Cryptocurrency, which feels a gross.

There is no good feeling of progression as you either unlock a million buildings at once at the beginning, or (from what I can tell) have very slow progress later on. You place buildings and wonders (which take hours to build), but it's hard to get a good grasp on how different buildings affect your overall stats, such as happiness, and what you should do next to aid your empire. It does not give that satisfying dopamine hit that other idlers have and I wanted to just play another one after an hour.
With a more streamlined feeling of progression, a better UI that I do not need to customize for hours to be useful and more useful user feedback, this may have been an interesting idler, but I would avoid it for now
이 게임 운송에 사람이 너무 많이 필요하기 때문에 무조건 창고를 1개 끼고 건물 늘려야함. 창고 주변으로는 운송이 공짜기 때문. (인력 계산 잘해야하는게 생산에 10개 필요하다. 그럼 수송에 필요한 인부도 10명임) 그래서 밀-창고-소-창고-치즈 이런 구성이 되게 해야함. 문제가 있음. 이런 구성을 갖추기 위해서 해금해야 할 시간이 너무 오래 걸림.
초반 석기 - 청동기- 철기 - 고전시대 (기계) 까지 가야하는데 최소 4시간 이상 걸림. 초반 환생 해서 위인 뺑이 치면 되는거 아니냐? 하는데 그짓 하는데도 10시간 이상 걸림.
Not a bad idea in principle, but it feels too "floaty". The UI is terrible: it's hard to see which building affects which and the windows-inspired look is really not a good fit for this game. There is no overview for all your resources, you have to go to every building to see their stockpile (unless a technology unlocks that later, but that should be a basic function).

A Big Thank You to the Keepers of Our Server First of all, a big thank you to all the keepers of our server - almost 100 players have purchased this cosmetic-only DLC. This would have been enough to cover the server costs for almost a year! However, our hosting provider has raised the price by almost 300%. This would have been devastating, but the proceeds from the DLC have bought me a bit more time. I have to downgrade our server (by 3x) and get it running with far fewer resources. I have done a lot of server optimization - 50% of the server has been completely rewritten to squeeze out the last bit of performance. The server is running mostly fine, with occasional spikes that might cause lag. But I guess it's a necessary compromise for the sustainability of the server. Chat Improvement One important server optimization is support for direct message routing. Previously, the server relied heavily on broadcasting, which is very expensive. As a byproduct of this optimization: You can now send direct messages in chat with the /dm command You can now block a player for the current game session in the UI Three new chat commands, /block, /unblock, and /blocklist, have been added to help manage blocked players Direct messaging is very bare-bones - I don't expect it to be used much, so I will keep it simple.

Hello CivIdlers! I am happy to present to you Patch 1.3. This content patch is rather unique: it was not planned, as I am busy working on my upcoming game Restitutor (more on that later). However, while working on Restitutor, there were certain ideas that didn’t quite work out. Instead of discarding them, I spent some time going through those ideas, picked the ones that would work for CivIdle, and ported them over. So while this patch doesn’t add a lot of content, the content it adds brings very unique gameplay features.
