Up to 80% off timeless city/empire-builders like Caesar 3, Alpha Centauri, Europa Universalis, and more!



Gamers are infamous for their destructive tendencies, but what about the builders among us? Those who enjoy all the meticulous planning and painstaking maintenance required to sustain a sprawling city and watch it prosper through the years. Those who would gladly trade the instant gratification of a bloody shootout with the chance to show their creations to their slack-jawed friends and calmly explain that hey, all <span class="bold">This Wasn't Built in a Day</span>. And that the materials were very reasonably priced, purchased at a -80% discount.

Legendary heroes, mythological beasts, and lots and lots of sturdy columns. Zeus + Poseidon have blessed this game with some of the most solid city-building mechanics around, coupled with refined management gameplay and that extra bit of quirkiness which sets it apart from its counterparts.

Space colonization has never been more engaging than for those who landed on Alpha Centauri. Seven unique factions, each with its own characteristics and playstyle, set out to conquer the future of the human race but it turns out that we may not be the only ones out there.



Make the strategically sensible moves and purchases, lay down your plans, and realize that achieving greatness takes time, for <span class="bold">This Wasn't Built in a Day</span>. But you can speed up the process and make it far more enjoyable with the likes of: Pharaoh + Cleopatra, Sengoku, Caesar 3, Europa Universalis, and more!
The promo will last until August 19, 9:59 AM UTC.

eiii: Nice collection of time killers. But sadly not a single game in this promo comes with official Linux support.
True, but most of them run very well on Linux anyway and can be easily installed with e.g. PlayOnLinux.

tinyE: Now that I have all of these I've got them all installed and I'm trying to find one to dig into. Is it bad that I'm enjoying the simpler ones the most? :P I wanted to start with Cleopatra but the farming thing killed me. It's so vague as to where to plant, how to connect, not to mention the flooding that totally fucks everything up. I'm either too simple minded or an idiot. :P
Or ye auld enuf and don't need challenges in games because there are pretty lot of them IRL, so all you want to do is to sit back and relax. And watch other people working. /grin
IMHO simplest is Zeus, Caesar 3 being next, with Pharaoh being most complicated of all three. EU series are just bloody rocket surgery calculus in comparison.

I finally beat the 2nd tutorial mission of Pharaoh. :P

Well, that's more than some modern so called "AAA" games are capable to capture my attention for. :D
I haven't finished but I really dig the atmosphere and calmness of Children of the Nile. I've been meaning to get into Zeus and Pharaoh, just had not had the mood unfortunately. I bought Caesar 3 some sale ago too.
Nothing here for me. I guess my wallet is safe this week. ( ´△`)
You know I completely forgot about this promo. Until I chanced a look today.

Should I get the first Crusader Kings?

igrok: The next closest contender would be For the Glory (which is basically a polished version of Europa Universalis II).
Is there any gain in buying Europa Universalis II or even the first Europa Universalis when you own For The Glory?

I haven't played EU1, but as for EU2, no, there is no reason to buy it. FtG is the same game with some tweaks, fewer annoyances and bugs, and with easy integration of mods which provide more historic events. It plays just the same as EU2.

Thanks! Good I've resisted to buy them during the promo. I only was surprised that EU2 was higher rated on GOG than FtG.
