In Microcivilization, you can explore, expand, exploit and exterminate in a unique pixel-art strategy-clicker game blend. Begin the non-linear growth of your population and economic strength while discovering government combinations, hundreds of distinct heroes and experimenting with ability builds for both combat and construction challenges. You have many ways to build a powerful nation. If you prefer to oppress your people by furious button smashing, master the clicker features to your advantage. If you have faith in your micro-people's good-will and productivity, make use of your workshops and their passive and active abilities. Advancing in the technology tree will unlock upgrades, military units, bonuses and new abilities to help you grow and prepare for threats to come.

Face hundreds of disasters, wars, diseases, social unrests, invasions and independence declarations that could threaten your people. You may be beaten, descend into dark ages, famine or ideological mayhem, but don't worry - losing is impossible. In fact, the harder the struggle, the more likely a grand hero will emerge from the ashes.

Every crisis you overcome gives you a chance to gain a hero. For your micro-civilization, heroes act as inventory items which boost your power. Although you can only have a handful of them equipped at any time, collecting heroes opens endless new effects on your industry, wealth, strength and stability. As you progress, you will collect higher tiers of heroes, merge them with recipes and form sets to gain absurd powers.

Disasters in this game are not random number generator rolls. You are in full control of all disaster risks. In fact, you know the chance of them happening at any given time, so you have the opportunity to mitigate. Uninhabited houses? Chance of fire. Too many people crammed in tight space? Small-pox will probably visit you soon.

When a crisis occurs, it can be overcome by combat. Fire can be extinguished, disease can be withstood or cured, invasion can be repelled. Regardless of the problem, it is always a number of brave micro-people willing to give their lives, who defeat the crisis. In every fight, People are your life, Economy is your strength and Heroes are your weapons. Combine these with workshop abilities and master the combat to become a formidable force.

History has too many stories to tell in one go. In order to reach the metaphorical stars, you will need to trace back to ancient ages several times, each with a higher purpose. Your Ascension tree contains many challenges organized into Difficulty Tiers, each bringing new features into the game, more difficult enemies but also access to more powerful heroes, world wonders and ability modifications.
