The Magistrate - Can you survive Chinese bureaucracy?
https://fabermundi.itch.io/tang
Inspired by Dwarf Fortress, I wanted to create a very realistic and complex city-builder. I ditched shiny graphics for system complexity and long-term gameplay. You’re not a great conqueror, but you have a job to do, people to feed and a heartless bureaucracy above you that just can’t stop draining your town and county.
What Will Your County Remember?
Your term will eventually end.
Perhaps you will leave behind full granaries, safe roads and prosperous villages.
Perhaps you will be remembered for justice.
Perhaps for cruelty.
Perhaps the bridge you built will still stand a generation later, while your name survives only in an old county chronicle.
