Welcome Builders,
You've just arrived here, perhaps intrigued by an image you spotted in an article, or on the advice of a friend who told you this game was worth a look.
Either way: welcome!
Memoriapolis is a City Builder, a game for building and managing cities. In it, you'll construct buildings, make political decisions, manage resources, open trade routes and deal with the various factions that move in. In short, everything you'd expect from a game of this genre... but with a few special features.
Three elements that make Memoriapolis unique
A city through 2500 years of history
Your city will evolve from Antiquity to the Age of Enlightenment.
Autonomous inhabitants
You don't control everything: your citizens decide for themselves where and how they settle. That's why we call city development “organic”
A real possibility of failure
You can lose control of your city... and therefore the game.
Your goal: to stay in power until the end of the Age of Enlightenment.
Easier said than done!
Watch out for rebellious neighborhoods
The biggest danger? Neighborhoods that become independent. There are several reasons for secession:
- A faction becomes too powerful and wants its own autonomy.
- Residents' representatives feel you're not meeting their expectations.
- Too many incidents disrupt the city.
- The population's level of satisfaction is falling dangerously.
Keeping control of your city will require political finesse and good management of everyone's expectations.
A dynasty at the head of the city
You're not immortal! You're running a dynasty that has to survive the centuries. Each age lasts a certain number of cycles, and history doesn't wait for you.
To progress to the next age, your city must reach a certain level of development. If you get there early, the cycles you've saved will be carried over to the next age. Otherwise, you'll advance without any particular bonus.
This mechanism rewards players who optimize their development, while letting those who take their time play without penalty.
A new start at each age
At each age change, you'll have to choose:
- Which of your city's buildings to keep
- Which dynasty to embody, each with its own advantages.
This is a key moment, as your decisions will have a major impact on the rest of the game.
One of the special features of the game is that, at each age, you build a new Residence for your Dynasty. This allows total freedom in the way your city evolves, and avoids being limited by the old structure.
Finally, some buildings evolve from one age to the next and influence the surrounding neighborhoods, allowing for a smooth transition between eras.
