The player must order the building of various structures in order to support the citizens, such as houses, blacksmith shops, hospitals, farms, and schools, while ensuring enough resources are being produced to keep the citizens stocked. The player's citizens will age and eventually die. Additional citizens come from two sources, the birth of children and the arrival of nomads, wandering groups that wish to join the player's town.

Citizens have needs that must be met in order to keep them happy and healthy, such as ensuring enough food is available or that they have a home.
