Thriving City: Song is a unique city-building simulation game that takes players back to the Song Dynasty in the year 960. Playing as a county magistrate, you will develop a wilderness into a prosperous city through urban planning and resource management. The game realistically recreates the living atmosphere of an ancient city with more than 2000 characters active simultaneously on the screen.


The game has a complex resource management mechanism, requiring players to balance population and economy. Building structures such as houses, fields, and production facilities will help increase income sources and develop the population. The diverse production chain from food to high-end goods like ceramics demands careful calculation in arranging related buildings to optimize efficiency.

The economic and trade system in the game is designed in detail with many types of businesses. Players can build perfume shops, inns, taverns, and many other entertainment establishments to attract residents and tourists. Developing diverse industries will create a stable source of income for the city.

The system for social and cultural development in the game is extremely rich. Players can organize cultural events such as imperial examinations, musical performances, chanting sutras, and develop diverse cuisine. Building schools, training talents, and organizing exams will not only enhance prestige but also create a quality workforce for the city.

Urban planning plays an important role in city development. Players need to reasonably arrange residential, production, and entertainment areas to optimize operational efficiency. The construction of infrastructure such as roads and bridges also needs to be emphasized to ensure convenient transportation for residents.

Security is a key factor in maintaining the stability of the city. The game requires building prisons to suppress crimes such as robbery, arson, and murder. At the same time, establish a defense system with walls, watchtowers, and train militias and archers to protect the city from external invasions.

Players must face many challenges in management such as natural disasters, epidemics, and faction conflicts. Implementing reasonable policies will help improve management efficiency, however careful consideration is needed because each policy has dual effects on people's lives. Effective financial management and annual planning are also important factors.

The story mode allows players to experience important historical events of the Song dynasty. You will have to complete tasks from the emperor's edicts, participate in significant political events, and make decisions that can change the course of history. Additionally, the game has an adventure mode that allows players to freely create and build cities as they wish.

The game's graphics are designed with a refined traditional Chinese art style. Details about architecture, costumes, and daily activities are all referenced from museum documents and historical records, bringing an authentic atmosphere of an ancient city. Melodious music along with vivid visual effects will provide an immersive experience for players.
