Buy Thriving City: Song PC key

Thriving City: Song is a city-building simulation set in ancient China during the Song dynasty. As mayor, you guide townspeople as they settle, cultivate land and expand their city, while managing their needs and responding to crises. Your choices shape the city's development and the course of its history.

Story and world

In Story Mode, you experience the rise and fall of the Song Empire through historical events and each dynastic period. You complete tasks set by imperial edicts, take part in major events and make decisions that lead your city into the future. The world draws on museum and historical records, depicting Song-era buildings, industries, professions and clothing. Its traditional Chinese-style art includes animated buildings and characters.

Develop your city

You assign jobs, gather resources and build production and housing facilities. Related buildings can be placed together to stimulate production, while careful planning helps meet the population's basic needs. You manage agriculture, industry, commerce, education, civil affairs and politics, which are closely connected.

To support citizens' happiness, you can hold perfume contests and poetry, music and scripture events, and provide varied diets. Spice Shops, Inns, Taverns, Brothels and other entertainment venues attract residents and tourists. Academic research, student education and students passing the Imperial Exam can generate income and improve the city's Reputation.

Govern and defend

You track the city's accounts, plan for each year and enact policies to improve management efficiency by matching and combining them. Policies can have trade-offs: some may increase production while harming people's lives. You also respond to disasters and plagues, manage crime and protect the city from invasion. Build a Prison to deal with crimes such as robbery, arson and murder, and construct City Walls and Archer Towers while training Militias and Archers to defend against attacks.

Game modes

Story Mode follows the history of the Song Empire. In Adventure Mode, you can build a cityscape of your own, raising a small, run-down village into a thriving city with more than 2,000 citizens on-screen at once.
