Kai Yuan

Kai Yuan is a city-building game set during the Tang Dynasty, when the Silk Road flourished and China’s economy and society were highly developed. You manage the needs and work of the population, develop the city’s finances and defend it while building cities based on real Tang Dynasty cities.

Manage your city

Balance residents’ needs with the distribution of work, and trade with other cities to secure stable income. Coordinate the flow of goods between cities and regions, building a transport system that sends limited resources where they are most needed.

Defend and expand

Raise an army to protect the city, while keeping its finances in mind when recruiting on a large scale. Training an elite force can improve the city’s defenses, and appointing generals strengthens the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under their command. You can also undertake the demanding construction of a famous Tang Dynasty palace, which requires substantial manpower and building materials.

A changing historical setting

The game cycles automatically between day and night and through the seasons, or you can choose to keep a fixed season. Historical events from the period include the Kaiyuan Prosperity and the An Shi Rebellion.
