At the Gates of Loyang

China, 2000 years ago: Loyang has become the capital of the Han dynasty and one of the four most important cities of ancient China. In full economic boom, the inhabitants of this flourishing city need a better supply of staple foods. These are supplied by local farmers who grow wheat, pumpkins, turnips, cabbages, beans and leeks in their fields.

After each harvest, farmers congregate at the gates of Loyang to trade their products. They deliver to their regular customers and sell vegetables to occasional customers to earn big profits. Vegetables can also be changed at market stalls or used as seed to plant new fields. If farmers need vegetables that they do not have on hand, they can buy them in their store. Twenty different types of helpers with different skills will be available to help farmers. These aides allow players to employ a variety of strategies and tactics.

The best farmer will be the one who advances the most in the Path of Prosperity within the established time. Each step along the way costs money (little amount at the beginning, but the more you advance, the more expensive it will be). In addition, money is also necessary for investments, so it will be crucial to find the balance.

Although easy to learn, Loyang is an exciting economic game where every decision is important if you want to become the best farmer.
