Patron

Patron is a survival city builder in which you develop a settlement into a prosperous city while managing resources, production and the needs of its citizens. Its large research tree and social dynamics make happiness a gameplay system in its own right, with each citizen affected by personal needs, desires and concerns.

Build and manage your city

Construct and upgrade residential houses, farms, production plants, manufacturing buildings and other structures to harvest the land’s resources. Gather and produce resources, establish sustainable production chains, and plan production and overseas trade to support the economy. You also guide citizens toward the professions the town needs and build beautification elements to recognize their hard work.

Balance social issues

Citizens have differing views on issues such as immigration and taxes. They are happy when the town government’s actions align with their views, and unhappy when they do not. Decisions can affect different social groups in different ways, so you balance matters including class strife, immigration, religion, health, safety, loyalty and poverty. Choices can also have unforeseen consequences years later.

Prepare for change

Manage tasks and citizens in time to adapt to harsh weather and changing seasons. Develop the settlement through an extensive research tree, unlocking technologies, policies and upgrades so society can advance and withstand the passage of time. Unexpected tragedies can strike your people, who look to you for protection and help.
