| In-game event | Update #9 - Last Crashes Fixed Hey everyone, First, thank you once again for all your feedback, bug reports, and continued patience. Today’s update fixes the last remaining major crash issue - specifically, the infamous loading-screen crash, which has finally been resolved.

| Steam news | Previous Games Compared Hey Everyone, How is City States different from our previous games? This is one of the most commonly asked questions, so let’s dive into it. First, a small disclaimer: this is a passion project. I handle most of the development myself, with two helpers. It is not profitable and does not come close to minimum wage. My goal is to improve and expand with every new title. Each game explores a diffe… | — | |
| Major update | Update #8 - New Features Hey Everyone, Time to take a look at today’s major update and how it significantly changes the mid and late game experience. To start things off - any of the player`s armies can now engage in RTS combat, instead of requiring a hero. A hero`s presence in a city still allows that city to be defended, but now simply having an army near a city will do the same. This opens up a lot more strategy as… | 24301322 | |

| In-game event | Update # 5 - UI Improvements Hey Everyone, We have another solid update for you this week - focused mostly on UI improvements, especially on the world map. The biggest part of this update is the reworked Trade Goods UI. The world map trade goods bar is now cleaner, easier to read, and shows more useful information, including monthly production and trade agreement consumption. We`ve also reworked the Resources UI, with a ma… | 23937324 | |
