Official Fact Sheet:
City States is intended to be the first evolution simulation ever, allowing the player, becoming the head of a Late Mesolithic period tribe, to take his tribe through the history to, finally, forge a Nation. While there are several games, claiming to give this option to the player, all of them simply propose a historic look for a fast military conflict. The evolution is nothing else that a chain of weaponry upgrades, with sometimes historical names, that have to be memorized and repeated by the player to win. The player always knows for sure what his final country will look like, no matter what his actions or the situation around is. The only unknown is the speed with which the player will follow this one-track road, – the faster, – the better the player is. City States, on the other hand, sets the player into an interactive world, where his actions, the behavior of other tribes and the world itself will act together to produce a multitude of possible outcomes.
