About This Demo

Apoikia is a city-building and economic simulation where every decision ripples through a living market. Start with a small settlement and grow it into a thriving economic hub by mastering supply chains, shaping regional markets, and steering society through the laws you enact.

Build across varied terrain, carve out productive regions, and turn local resources into prosperity. Extract raw materials, refine them through multi-step production, and keep goods moving through a complex market system that tracks supply, demand, and price trends. Labor, logistics, and production efficiency matter as much as where you build.

Beyond buildings, Apoikia puts policy in your hands. Unlock legal actions through research and legislation, set taxes and regulations, and guide your society's growth with rules that change how people live, work, and trade. Your legal framework is a core tool for stabilizing the economy and unlocking new strategies.
