Read full descriptionHide full description
You don't move the pieces in Civ Builder — you set the rules and let an artificial intelligence run a society inside them. Choose one of five governing archetypes — the intelligence that shapes how your citizens reason about each other, their work, and their laws. Write the legal code: decide what's forbidden and how strictly it's enforced. Then begin, and watch ten autonomous agents live their lives in a real-time event feed. They work and eat. They vote. They trade and innovate. They commit crimes — and face the punishments you wrote. Out of thousands of small decisions, a civilization takes shape: it can flourish into a stable, inventive society, or fracture and collapse under its own laws. Nothing is scripted. Every run unfolds differently. GOVERN, DON'T MICROMANAGE - Pick the AI archetype that governs your people's reasoning. - Author a living legal code and rewrite it mid-run to steer the outcome. - Intervene on the fly — inject events and change the law as a crisis unfolds. A SOCIETY THAT RUNS ITSELF - Ten autonomous agents make their own choices about work, food, voting, trade, and crime. - Emergent outcomes: no fixed win condition, no two runs alike. - A live event feed narrates everything as it happens. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - 100% offline — the entire simulation runs on your device. - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. We collect zero data. - Saved runs live on your device and never leave it. Set the laws. Choose the mind that enforces them. Then find out what kind of civilization you've created.
