We would love to thank each and every one of you for your trust and all your insights, comments and suggestions. Without your support and feedback we would not be able to keep improving Nebuchadnezzar and making it a great city builder game.
So let's take a look at the main features and improvements the new update brings.
Update 1.4 includes:
Warfare
Conqure other cities to secure materials for your people and expand your empire to give yourself eternal glory.
Game-designer note:
Nebuchadnezzar has always been focused on economics and logistics. And we wanted to preserve this, so the design of warfare was done with this in mind.
Therefore we decided not to add any RTS mechanics. Your city building and management skills are still the most important. And while you have to keep your city safe from external threats, you can also take advantage of the benefits that a strong army can bring to your city.
Walls
Secure your city or use them to protect your residences from the industry pollution.
Battles
Lead your soldiers in a tactical battles.
Resized maps
We have optimised the code so that we can finally give our maps plenty of room for your fun.
Enhanced diplomacy
New types of relations and benefits together with reworked favors, requests and gifts.
Colorblind mode
Special mode with easier colour differentiation for different types of colour blindness.
The Adventures of Sargon DLC
The Adventures of Sargon is story-focused DLC, where you'll play as one of the most famous rulers of ancient Mesopotamia, Sargon II, and relive all of his important campaigns and achievements. Suppress dangerous rebellions, conquer the surrounding empires and ultimately restore the glory of the Assyrian Empire.
