Description
Drag is a city-building simulation game. Players build their own imperial capital city of Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, by properly arranging limited resources. As a famous historical and cultural city in the Orient, Beijing has the most outstanding and the largest buildings. With this as the background, it is most suitable to show the cultural style of ancient Chinese architecture.
Drag covers almost all the famous places of interest in Beijing, such as the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City. Players will also learn about the development and changes of ancient Beijing through the game.
You need to build residential buildings for population development and luxury restaurants, businesses for economic development. By setting up a government, you can strengthen your rule and collect materials for the building. The construction of temples and opera houses provides spiritual satisfaction for residents.
All of the buildings need to be arranged by players. You need to determine the position and orientation of each building. Just like ancient diviners, you also need to pay attention to the Feng-Shui of each building.
Officials are another important aspect. You have to fully understand what is corrupt and stupid, what is clean and honest. Under the same condition, having a corrupted official not only slows the development but also costs much more money. Having an honest official may be very helpful.
You can also examine your own means of administration, whether to adopt the soft policy of loving the people as your own children or to adopt various kinds of harsh taxes and levies.
