About Kai Yuan
Historical background:
China was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty from the 7th to the 8th century, which was the peak of China's feudal society. The social economy was highly developed, the Silk Road was prosperous again, and the people lived a prosperous life. The Kaiyuan period was also the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, known as the Kaiyuan Prosperity.
Game features:
Urban economy
As a city builder, you need to fully consider the needs of the people and the distribution of work, and trade with other cities to obtain stable urban finance income.
Transportation system
You need to coordinate the supply of goods between cities and regions, establish an efficient transportation system, and allocate limited resources to the places where they are most needed.
Train the army and appoint generals
You need to build a strong army to defend the city. When expanding the army on a large scale, you need to consider whether the city's finance is affordable. You will find that training an elite army can greatly improve the city's defense capability. You can also appoint generals for your army. The combat effectiveness of soldiers under the command of generals will be enhanced.
Build a palace
In the game, you need to build a famous palace building in the Tang Dynasty, which requires a lot of manpower and building materials. This task is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
Simulate the real environment
The game automatically alternates day and night, and automatically changes seasons. Of course, you can also set a fixed season according to your own preferences.
Restore History
Each city you build in the game is a real city in the Tang Dynasty of China. There will also be historical events consistent with the era in the game, such as the Kaiyuan Prosperity, the An Shi Rebellion, and so on.

I have a hard time reviewing this game. It doesn't do anything new or really special, the UI is old fashioned, the game is clunky in more ways than one, and it's basically just a simpler Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom. But somehow I had a lot of fun with it. It has a similar puzzle element as the old Impressions games. There is always a rock where it shouldn't be. Or the map is cut in half by a mountain and it's a long track to get to the other side, or you can only import very limited resources so you have to calculate how many houses you want to evolve, but if you don't evolve houses it can be pretty hard to make money (things are expensive and trading is quite limited). Once you figure out how the logistics works, the city building is very flexible, you don't really have to make efficient blocks. What I liked: -Flexible building, there are many ways to design your cities, which is nice -Working military. It's pretty much the same as Caesar III's (with the awkward control and all), but you can upgrade them as they gain experience. And speaking of upgrades... -Attention to detail. There are so many small visual details in the game. You can see what the trading ship impo…4 found this helpful
A homage to the old Sierra/Impressions games, in particular to [b]Emperor: Rise of the middle kingdom.[/b] It's good. Could be better, as it doesn't innovate much on the original formula, and the animations are a little coarse, but it's good and, above all, a pleasure to watch. The lamps illuminating your city at night are really pretty. Game runs well in Linux via Wine/Proton.4 found this helpful
Solid classic-style citybuilder (like Caesar 3/Pharaoh/Emperor), with a charming lofi artstyle.3 found this helpful
The game does not load/play offline . This is a no go for me. Hope the developer can fix this.3 found this helpful
This game is beautiful! I love the old school graphics and the atmosphere created in this game! It's a lot better than I expected! I haven't built an army or had any battles yet, and I'm still really enjoying the game just for the city building, and economy management. Progress from building a basic settlement to a self-sustaining town to is surprisingly complex, and there's a lot of management to be done. A lot more than I expected, so the depth to this game is great for the price! I'm still figuring out the economy and trading system, but the tutorial that guides you along the way does it's job. It won't teach you how to do things efficiently, but it will teach you the basics. Which is good. That way you know how to use the systems, but have to fine tune your efficiency through trial and error (as you should). The pacing of this game is a little slower than City Skylines, but very enjoyable to watch the growth, and discover the depth of it's systems. I was very surprised that you could click on each individual citizen and see where they were going, and why! I expected them to just be mostly for show, but every person indeed has a function, and you need to help them fulfill th…2 found this helpful
Terrible. Trying to create the fun of Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom without any of the fun or charm. No way to skip the awful tutorial with seizure inducing flashing icons. Constant repetitive sounds. About every 30 seconds it will be a cow moo then a gong smash. I really wanted to like this game by its concept but it is truly awful.1 found this helpful
