Nepos Games have announced Update 1.1 for their Mesopotamian city builder, Nebuchadnezzar.
As previously reported, players construct thriving cities in ancient Mesopotamia, inspired by the classic city builders from the ’90s and early ’00s. The game’s campaign covers the establishment of early civilizations of the region, to the conquest of Babylon by the Persians in 6th century BC.
Establish supply chains to transport valuable resources across your empire, manage foreign relations, and create a legacy that stands the test of time. Nebuchadnezzar includes a freeform monument editor so players can design their own grand palaces, and features mod support right from the start.
The next update, 1.1, is based on community feedback, and will focus on the most requested features. At the top of this list is a sandbox mode and new scenarios, along with taxes and wages mechanics, and clickable citizens with voiceovers. Update 1.1 does not currently have a release date yet.

Nebuchadnezzar was created with mods and localization in mind.
