From the first stone tool to the first starship. One city carries an entire civilization across eight ages. Civilize is the first CivForge: a city-builder where multiple islands and 100+ resources let you forge an arc of human history that is entirely your own.

From the Dawn of Civilization to the Stars From the first stone ever chipped to the first rocket ever launched. Civilize is the first CivForge: a game where civilization itself becomes a city you build with your own hands. Stone, farming, antiquity, medieval keeps, industry, atoms, glass towers, and the stars beyond. Eight ages, all lived on a single island.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Eight Ages, One City</h2> Civilize isn't about flipping between eras. It's about a single city living through each one, reshaping itself as the world around it changes: the entire arc of human history, traced as one unbroken line. The patch of ground where you placed your first thatched hut will one day hold an office tower, and one day after that, a launchpad. <ul class="bb_ul"><li> Stone Age: Shellfish, hunts, and a small circle gathered around the first fire. </li><li> Agricultural Age: Wheat fields stretching to the horizon and the first marketplace rising in their midst. </li><li> Ancient (Greece &amp; Rome): Stone-paved roads, aqueducts, and the first ships to cross open sea. </li><li> Middle Ages: Manor houses, market crowds, and spices arriving from far away. </li><li> Industrial Revolution: Steam and soot, rails cutting across the island, and factories that never sleep. </li><li> Atomic Age: Reinforced concrete and reactors, with multiple islands fusing into one economy. </li><li> Modern Age: Glass towers, digital markets, and the freedom to design a city without limits. </li><li> (Coming Soon) Space Age: Your civilization reaches for the stars.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Build by Hand. Forge a Civilization.</h2> You don't just build a city here. You CivForge an entire civilization. Factories, harbors, and landmarks are placed by hand, one at a time. Residential blocks and farmland grow naturally through Sections, the auto-growth zones you designate. The roads that connect everything aren't decoration; the traffic flowing through them feeds straight into productivity. You don't move nations from above. You build a civilization street by street, and you keep doing it across every age of human history.<h2 class="bb_tag" >An Empire Across the Seas</h2> Your world doesn't end at the shore. An open sea on a scale rarely seen in the genre holds many islands, each one its own economy with its own resources: vineyards on one, coffee groves on another, iron ore buried beneath a third. In the ancient era you'll lay your first routes by trade ship; in the industrial era, steam locomotives will cut across the islands hauling goods at scale. The deeper your civilization grows, the less optional it becomes to develop multiple islands in parallel and stitch them together with logistics. Your empire doesn't just grow in years. It grows in geography.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Iconic Landmarks: The Mark of an Age</h2> Every era closes with a monument that defines it. An ancient temple. A colosseum. A skyscraper towering over the city below. Each Iconic Landmark rises across multiple phases of labor and resources, and its completion is the key that opens the door to the next age. What stands on your island's skyline today, and what will rise tomorrow, is what makes your civilization yours, and no one else's.<h2 class="bb_tag" >A Living Economy: 100+ Resources, One Web</h2> Civilize's economy isn't a static list. Over 100 resources weave themselves into intricate production chains that keep flowing to meet your citizens' needs. Iron ore becomes steel at the smelter; steel becomes machinery at the factory; machinery feeds the production lines of an even higher tier, all of it a single living web. When supply and demand fall out of balance, the efficiency of every connected building drops in real time. That's why building a city here isn't just about placing structures. It's an ongoing series of decisions that keep an entire civilization alive. From the first stone hut to a colony in orbit. Draw an unbroken arc across your island. Civilize. The first CivForge.
