what is cityidle?

Build and manage a city through different historical ages, starting from prehistoric times and expanding your civilization.

Begin with basic survival tasks like gathering berries and farming, then advance through eras by researching technologies and optimizing your city layout. Expand your empire by colonizing new islands and managing your citizens in this challenging city-building game.

It sits in the Strategy corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
