Game Introduction
"Xia Ke Dao" is a high-definition construction simulation game centered around the aesthetics of ancient Eastern architecture, designed to immerse players in the joy of creating magnificent buildings from brick to tile. Based on the architectural styles of the Tang and Song dynasties, the game incorporates elements of ancient styles from various regions. Through a sophisticated construction system and poetic visuals, you can create your own unique Eastern ancient city legend.
Core Gameplay
1. Wall Assembly: Outlining the Style of the Ancient City
The game utilizes a modular wall construction system, offering dozens of ancient-style building materials such as vermilion palace walls, blue bricks and black tiles, and glazed brick walls. It supports a variety of structures, including straight walls, corners, and curved shapes. You can freely design the layout of your ancient city: build majestic walls around your foundations, connect your palaces with staggered corridors, and even enclose tranquil courtyards with carved low walls. Deeply customizable wall details, with intricately researched elements like flying eaves and auspicious designs on door lintels, make every construction radiate the charm of ancient craftsmanship. 2. Furniture Arrangement: Customize Your Interior
The ancient city's interiors offer fully customizable layouts, featuring over a hundred types of classical furniture and furnishings. From the rosewood eight-immortal table and embroidered screen in the living room, to the antique display shelf and calligraphy desk in the study, to the step-out bed and dressing table in the bedroom—all can be arranged and adjusted to your liking. Decorative details like celadon ornaments, ancient scroll paintings, and bronze lamps complement the lighting and shadow system, creating an immersive atmosphere of "sunlight streaming through the windows," giving the ancient city both a grandeur and a sense of everyday warmth.
3. Ancient City Construction: From Thatched Hut to Grand Tower
The construction process follows your creative rhythm: Initially, build a simple fortress with rammed earth foundations, then gradually upgrade it to a palace-like city with red walls and yellow tiles as resources accumulate. Create a multi-layered complex—complete with a bell and drum tower in the front courtyard, a main hall in the center, a garden and rockery in the backyard, a rooftop viewing pavilion, and even defensive towers and secret passages. The system offers a blueprint save function, allowing you to reuse classic designs or inspirational combinations, perfectly balancing construction efficiency and creative expression.
4. Resources and Expansion: Enriching the Construction Experience
By completing commissions and trading with surrounding towns, you can obtain building materials and unlock unique regional architectural elements, such as Dunhuang poplar wood carvings and Erythrina ship decorations. After completing the ancient city, you can unlock business opportunities: arrange shops, recruit NPCs, and create your own market. Upgrade the ancient city's attributes to unlock bonuses for the "Scholars, Farmers, Merchants, and Artisans" special buildings, transforming your ancient city into not only an architectural masterpiece but also a prosperous landmark.
