Steaua Imperiului

The first strategy game about a Romanian city's history, built with AI. I made it as a gift to my hometown — and you can play it right now, free, straight in the browser.

What it is

The year is 1715. The Emperor orders the Vauban fortress built — and you raise the 7 bastions of Alba Carolina, protect your workers from raids and keep the garrison's morale up, following the classic rules of Age of Empires. Libertatea called it the first AI-built strategy game about a Romanian city's history, and in the Alba24 studio I talked about how it can become an interactive history lesson for pupils and a tourism booster for the fortress. First month, with zero promotion spend: 65,000+ sessions and 50,000+ unique users (Microsoft Clarity).

Why this matters to you

The game is the most direct proof of what I do: a real app, built with AI, shipped fast and used by tens of thousands of people. You don't have to take my word for it — you can test it in 10 seconds. I use exactly the same process to build your business's app, through Cramba App Studio.
