Become the architect of your mythical city


As the Leader, you will be responsible for every building built on your territory, such as sawmills, temples, housing, barracks and many more. Skillfully plan your city as every path may play a vital role in managing your city. Well-planned zones of your empire will have a special impact on the proper and quickly develop your city.

Gather resources


There are many resources on your territory crucial for the development, conquest and keeping your empire stable. Some will be used for daily life, other resources will have a chance to become part of a variety of weapons – so vital to plan your skirmishes.

Offer sacrifices to the Gods to earn their favor…


Without sacrifices, there is no game based on a mythical ancient tribe, right? God's favor is one of the basic and important quests in the game. Thanks to their approval your city will not only develop freely but also expand its borders and acquire greater military and political capabilities. Satisfy your Gods to avoid their wrath. You can make sacrifices through your Priest in places of worship such as temples. Choose an appropriate slave, organize a grand festival in honor of the chosen Deity and perform secret dark rituals to the delight of the audience. In return, you can expect divine protection from different cataclysms or an increase in yields from your farms and fields.

… or prepare for their wrath


Gold, riches, extraordinary development… it can’t be that easy. Each repeating or grand one-time festival requires sacrifices. If you happen to forget about worship, the Deities will send many cataclysms to your empire or other problems that will hinder your development. Some will be more or less taxing, but it is always better to evade a lone lightning bolt striking your home and setting the city ablaze or a huge tornado wreaking havoc in your city. Plan well what and when you offer your Gods as no mortal has survived their wrath.

Conquer and enslave neighboring people


Every gold is paid for in blood and war is the easiest way to get rich fast. Plunder resources, earn slaves and conquer new land needed for development. Gods are not the only worry, there are other peoples and tribes aiming for the same goal as you. Organize military expeditions, and reinforce the war front or defense lines with resources, which will help in your skirmishes with the enemy. Skillful resource management during war will have an impact on whether your people will come back as victorious conquerors bearing gifts or losers. Fight for the title of the mightiest ruler of the Golden City, El Dorado!

I would not recommend to pay full price for this game or pay at all. The game is full of bugs and game developers could not be bother to fix it. Back ground music and sound of drums are not very pleasant at all I go to sleep and all I hear in my head is boom boom boom

I played the tutorial for less than 20 minutes. There were missing instructions I needed to check the forums to figure out for basic resources. Then it told me the resource buildings were not connected by roads despite building multiple roads to the building trying to get it to work. Again, during the initial tutorial.

This review is in English and Slovak language: Táto recenzia je v Anglickom a Slovenskom jazyku: I was really looking forward to this kind of building strategy with elements of survival from the Mayan environment. Unfortunately, the game remained unfinished and at such a level that it is barely playable without encountering some serious bugs, imbalance, or poorly thought-out mechanics. You will not enjoy the game and it is not worth buying even at a significant discount. This is just another of the many games that the developer abandoned and released as a full game in order to at least make some money from it. It's a shame and I'd like to be wrong, because the game looked very promising. However, experience from today clearly shows that this is almost a common phenomenon in the gaming industry. Veľmi som sa tešil na tento druh budovateľskej stratégie s prvkami prežívania z prostredia Májov. Bohužiaľ hra ostala nedokončená a to na takej úrovni, že je sotva hrateľná bez toho, aby ste narazili na nejakú závažnú chybu, nevyváženosť, či nedomyslenú mechaniku. Hru si neužijete a neoplatí sa kupovať ani vo výraznej zľave. Ide len o ďalšiu z mnohých hier, ktoré vývojár opustil a vyd…

What a pity if a promising game gets dropped by the devs :(

I paid $1.45 for this game and still feel like I got ripped off. Whoever made this game is a moron.
