MEMORIAPOLIS

Memoriapolis is a historical city builder in which the player guides a dynasty and its city through five ages: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Each age brings new architecture, new challenges and new Monuments to unlock. The dynasty’s final goal is to reach the Industrial Revolution and build one of three Wonders: the Eiffel Tower, Neuschwanstein Castle or the Statue of Liberty.

The player places buildings, and the city expands through districts without a fixed grid, shaped by the player’s choices and its citizens. Resources must be managed, and several factions make demands. Factions have distinct personalities, such as Altruist, Warrior and Expansionist, and they negotiate differently. The player can accept proposals directly, negotiate terms or favour one faction over another, and can engage with this system as much or as little as they wish. Historical Monuments such as the Library of Alexandria, Windsor Castle, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Palace of Versailles can be constructed to give the city its own identity.

A difficulty level is chosen at the start of a run and adjusts objectives, faction pressure and resource balance. Replayability comes from varying maps, factions and the choice of final Wonder. The Banners & Wonders update gave factions personalities, removed cycle limits and closed districts, and added new maps, Steam achievements and difficulty levels. One new DLC item has recently been added on Steam.
