XIRI: Oasis Cities

Humanity survived the collapse. But in a world ruled by artificial intelligence, survival is no longer enough to secure your future. In XIRI: Oasis Cities, you lead a high-tech desert settlement constantly pushed to the edge by natural disasters, cyber warfare, and fragile political alliances between neighboring settlements. Every decision shapes your city’s stability. Every system can fail. Your city cannot thrive alone. Corporations emerge from the industries you build, growing through production, trade, and influence. As they expand across the region, they reshape economies, diplomacy, and even the balance of power itself. Every corporation strengthens your city. It also gains influence beyond your control. They expand into neighboring settlements, affect diplomatic relations, and introduce new threats ranging from cyber warfare to corporate espionage. - Manipulate regional markets and trade prices - Conduct corporate espionage and information warfare - Drive corporate growth through privatization and education - Increase corporate expertise and unlock new capabilities Balance a workforce of humans, androids, and drones: each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and roles. If one link fails, the entire city feels the impact. - Create drone-based power transmission chains - Install lightning rods to protect critical facilities - Activate drone-based defensive barriers around key infrastructure - Keep production running during disasters You are not alone. Multiple neighboring settlements compete and cooperate with you. Trade. Negotiate. Manipulate. Strike first. But be aware that every aggressive move risks retaliation. - Launch cyberattacks against rival infrastructure - Uncover enemy spies - Manage loyalty levels of neighboring settlements - Issue or request loans - Lease equipment and specialists - Establish strategic trade routes The desert is alive and hostile. - Earthquakes fracture your infrastructure - Sandstorms reduce solar energy output and endanger your population - Tornadoes rip through districts - Lightning storms devastate unprotected facilities Can you maintain control as corporations rise, alliances shift, and nature constantly tests your city?
