- Christmas Update! - 24 December 2024
Hello everyone, To celebrate Christmas and the holiday season, here is a small update that some players requested (save game compatible). - I have enabled the Santa event (requires a Christmas Tree in your village, hover over the Christmas Tree on the right side of the UI for more info). (Santa will visit your village during the winter if you have a Christmas tree installed. During the morning (7.0h) you will be able to open the presents he has left in your village). - The 2022 Achievement has been reactivated for those who want 100% Achievements. - Made a few small fixes and added better pathfinding for dogs and cats. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! George, LW Games

- Update 1.04 - 26 September 2022
Hi Guys, This update introduces the Polish language to Civitatem (Poland STRONK!). In the following days i will add another language, German, and after that, i will try to add at least one new language each month or so, until we reach ten or more. If you find mistakes, or just some annoyances use the submit feedback from in-game menu. With this new system, the older saves are not compatible anymore. There are also bug fixes and performance improvements, but since i spent a lot of time on this localization system, no new content was added this time. Now that this is almost done, expect more content and gameplay tweaks, in the following months. Thank you for your support, George, LW Games

For those in Win 11 that have problems running the game, browse to local files and use civitatem.exe, or nw.exe to run the game (make a new shortcut).
