About CivIdle
CivIdle is an incremental strategy game where you expand your empire's territory and technology across procedurally generated maps, managing resources, culture, and diplomacy with other players on a global market. It features 100+ techs to research, world wonders to construct, great people to recruit through prestige runs, and a charming 90s retro UI with zero microtransactions.
Empire Must Grow
Expand your empire's territory, production and influence, advance your population's science and culture, and make your people happy - the empire must grow, and numbers must go up!

Every Run is Different
Explore a procedurally generated map, scouting for resources and natural wonders. Expand your empire and take advantage of different terrains. As technology advances, you can even reshape the terrain.
A Vast Tech Tree
Research and unlock a vast tech tree with 100+ technologies: from hunting and gathering, through writing and math, all the way to virtual reality and artificial intelligence. As technology advances, you will unlock more game systems and mechanisms that greatly expand the game play.

Trade and Diplomacy
Trade resources and engage in diplomacy with other players via a global market. Exchanging resources, forming alliances and fighting for influence - can your culture stand in the end?
Wonder-full Empire
Throughout different eras, construct different world wonders that provide unique bonuses, unlock new game mechanism and make your map look pretty.
Reborn with Great People
When you prestige, you will be able to collect great people - historical great figures, each with unique bonuses and abilities that will help your next run reach new height.
90s Retro UI
A 90's retro UI, that is a love letter to the golden age of desktop computing, will surely bring back some nostalgia. There's a 1-1 replicated mode which brings maximum authenticity and a "eye protection mode" that captures the essence but is easier on your eye on modern displays.
A Game For the People
If your computer can run paint, you can probably run CivIdle. Similar to Industry Idle, the game will NOT include any micro transactions. Instead, the base game will be free of charge and you can optionally get more content, support the game's development and help cover the server expense by purchasing paid expansion packs.

Fun game
just a great game all done by 1 developer.
perfect
Fun free to play idle game for people that like factory design type games. Since it's free to play and optimized, there's not reason not to try it out. I'm living without a gaming computer for the first time in a decade, and I stayed up till 2 am playing for six hours straight when I first found this game, and played it on my toaster.(Lenova ideapad. integrated graphics(no graphics card))(note-taking laptop I purchased for school.) While it doesn't include most of the logistics or spaghetti fun from factorio, it does include the assembler/hex input output management. It has ascensions that give you permanent upgrades that boost your buildings allowing you to play the next round faster. Buildings are upgradable with increasing costs, and it features a happiness mechanic simular to sid myers civilizations games like civ IV, or civ V. Each building uses one happiness, but you get more with tech and new resources. After getting used to it, it feels much less limiting then in civilization. I prefer the mechanic here. The limiting balance to your progression is between leveling up buildings, and building more of them because more buildings reduces the efficiency of your workers, whi…
