Description: Ardarium is a 2D simulation that automatically generates a random map and populates it with people who then attempt to survive and build nations. The point is to be something pretty and colorful that you can watch like a screensaver or play like a simple sandbox game. People gather food, avoid danger, fight or run from enemies, build settlements, start farming, mate and have kids who then grow up and live their own lives. A settlement might thrive due to an abundance of food and then decline because of starvation and disease caused by overpopulation. Anything the player can do, like placing new people or starting apocalyptic meteor showers, is something the simulation also does automatically. You can leave it running as long as you want and the sun keeps rising and setting, seasons keep changing, people keep living their lives, and nations continue to rise and fall.
