The Fair Store

Free access, optional Scrolls, Patron convenience, and permanent anti-pay-to-win rules.

← Player GuidesCatalog ID: fair_store

The whole civilization game is free

No era, technology, government, military unit, civilization, resource, or map region is locked behind payment. The store supports development through convenience and cosmetics.

Scrolls remove original time

One Scroll removes 50% of an eligible project's original duration; a second can finish it. Scrolls may apply to ordinary building construction, city upgrades, and research, subject to server rules. New players receive one free Scroll, and seven consecutive play days make another claimable.

Time in PvP is trustworthy

Tokens never accelerate army movement, attacks, sieges, occupation, treaties, diplomatic cooldowns, Wonders, global projects, or world-firsts. Resources, territory, units, technologies, and combat strength are never sold.

Patron is convenience

Patron can provide longer planning queues, bookmarks, cosmetics, statistics, and a monthly token allowance. It does not increase production, resource yield, military strength, or land capacity.

Platform purchases

Mobile digital goods will use Apple or Google platform billing when connected. Server receipt validation is required before public sales; local test grants are not a production purchase system.
