City Empires is a free web based city/empire simulator.
The year was 2016 when modern civilization was destroyed. The war that was begun by politicians was finished by thousands of mushroom clouds. Governments persisted for a short while, protected by their underground bunkers. But the infrastructure that had sustained them was gone, and the last bastions of humanity collapsed upon themselves. What few survivors that remained were isolated and struggled to exist.
Untold years passed, and isolated peoples gathered into villages and then communities. You have been tasked to lead your community into this new era. There have been stories told of other villages who also struggle to survive. Some are friendly, while others are less than civilized. The choices you make will determine the fate of your village… your city… your empire.
