A 90's retro UI, that is a love letter to the golden age of desktop computing, will surely bring back some nostalgia.

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.Supported languages: english, russian, simplified chinese, french, german, korean, portuguese - brazil, traditional chinese, czech, dutch, spanish - spain, turkish

Great game
Tried to get back to the 'map' screen, but somehow got to a PC BIOS boot screen. Hopefully was some sort of joke or prank, but naaaaaa; a total turn off for me. Uninstalled to be on the safe side
I can see how some people would get really into this, but it is visually lackluster and not my cup of tea.
It's a great game for the Colour Blind.. All grey & white tiles, no colours like a Civ game has..
As far as it still being a Civ game, well it is, and it has multiplayer trading going on..
If you want to restart you have to delete your save files from disk or cloud..
It has a rather simple tech tree for a Civ, so i think kids will like playing it..
I did notice an active player chat.. But, I'd say UnCiv is better bc it has colour..
it's designed to be an "Idle" game, it's worth trying if you think you're interested fwiw..
this game is kind of hard to get into, but is really addicting
Cividle is pretty much just a really oversimplified city, with every building being represented by a hexagon with a list of inputs and outputs. you can research things using science that you gain from making your citizens do things (but it can be made better later.) this gives you more buildings, which need more workers, and more materials, which need more buildings, etc. it is an incremental game that is made to not rely on pressing a single button really fast.
the game has a built in chat with eight different languages, as well as a built in trading system (that i havent fully explored at the time of writing this.)
overall it is a really fun game and i would highly reccomend it.
