Sumerians

Sumerians is a city-building game set in Mesopotamia during the third millennium BC, a period of urban growth and the development of the Sumerian city-states. You plan a city, manage its economy and resources, and guide a small settlement near a river as it grows.

You can play the campaign or start a city of your own, choosing from several maps and difficulty levels. Citizens grow their own food and find the goods they need at the first market stalls. As the city expands, you balance farmers, artisans and vendors with the workers needed by the State.

Grow the city

Build a temple and hire priests to increase your religious influence and attract citizens. Pay workers’ salaries with crops from your fields, and expand agriculture with irrigation canals. Provide water, security, health and beautification services to raise citizens’ standard of living.

Walls are needed to construct certain buildings and upgrade houses, but the game has no warfare or attacks. You can also build palaces, gardens, temples and a great ziggurat.

Develop the economy

Improve the economy with manufacturing buildings, better transportation, storage and trading. Research technologies to unlock buildings and create new trade routes.
