Plan
Lay the streets, and the city fills them
Draw the roads, from dirt tracks to grand avenues, and mark out homes, shops, works and farms along them. Townsfolk move in, builders raise each lot, and a street that has its well, its watch and its market grows taller.
- Roads, bridges and walls
- Homes, shops, works and farms
- Services that reach along the streets
Welcome
Many peoples, one city
Dwarves, elves, goblins and every other people come once their wants are met, and each builds its quarter in its own style. Some are friends and some feud: give them parks, markets and walls between them and keep the peace.
- Nine peoples, each in its own style
- Friendships and feuds between quarters
- Their own schools, taverns, statues and towers
Live
A city that lives and breathes
Townsfolk walk to work at dawn and home at dusk, carts bring grain to market and the lamplighter goes round at nightfall. Leave a timber street without a fire watch, or a crowded one without healers, and you will hear about it.
- Day and night on every street
- Fire, plague, crime and soot to manage
- Advisors who tell you what the city needs
The peoples
Every people builds in its own style
Pick a people to see the schools, taverns, healers, fountains and towers they raise. Every one turns here as it stands in your city: press 3D to turn it yourself.

Everything a city needs
What you do
Found it where you choose
Start on an empty valley. Place your town hall by a river, near forest and stone, and your peasants walk out to lay the first roads.
Roads and zones
Draw dirt tracks, cobbled paths and grand avenues. Zone homes, shops, works and farms along them at low, medium or high density, and watch the frontage fill.
A city with needs
Wells, the watch, temples, healers, schools, taverns, markets and parks. Each serves the streets within its reach, and a home only rises as far as its needs are met.
Many peoples, one city
Dwarves, elves and others arrive when their wants are met and build quarters in their own style. Some are friends and some feud: parks, markets and walls keep the peace.
Halls, classes and goods
Raise your town hall to a keep and then a castle. Labourers, artisans and nobles each pay their own taxes, and works turn grain, wool, timber, ore and crystal into bread, cloth, tools and fine goods.
Woods and bridges
Plant groves that lift the land around them, fell them for lumber, and bridge the river in timber or stone so the far bank joins your hall.
Walls and landmarks
Ring the nobles' quarter in walls, gates and towers. Raise hero statues, grand wizard towers and, for a capital, a cathedral or a palace.
Life on the streets
Townsfolk walk to work at dawn and home at dusk, builders work outside their sites, carts bring grain to market, and the lamplighter goes round at nightfall.
Trouble to manage
Timber streets burn without a fire watch, crowded homes catch plague without healers, poor streets breed crime, and works lay soot over their neighbours.
The first city
The Concord of Aethermere
A broad river valley of open meadow, with two fords across the water, forest climbing the hills on either side, and gold and stone in the high ground. Nothing is built and nobody lives there yet. Where your city stands, and how it grows, is up to you.
It plays in the Golden Age: no raids and no armies, only the city. Pick Cities of Stone from the main menu, or the map from the custom games gallery.
