What is Nebuchadnezzar?

An isometric city builder set in ancient Mesopotamia, where you place buildings, manage farms and industries, arrange trade, and supply residents with goods and services. Its historical campaign runs from early settlement to the Persian conquest of Babylon. You can also build in sandbox mode and design monuments.

For you if...

+you enjoy historical city builders with connected production chains
+you want campaign missions alongside open-ended sandbox building

Not for you if...

−you prefer relaxed city growth over balancing supplies and workers
−you want to build without carefully planning your layout
