Rimworld from what i remember, its more of a simulation of a sci-fi small colony, with a tile based building like in minecraft. Civitatem aims to be more of a classic city builder, where the similarities with Rimworld are that villagers are important (and have skills) and that is has random events, the rest it goes on its way with its own features similar to other city builders, but with enough new features and new approach to classic features, to make it on its own.
From the gathering the resources, construction, the approach on needs and reactions, diplomacy, research, crafting, exploration up to combat, things are quite different. It might be similar to some games, but thats a given in these type of games.
P.S. Before Rimworld, Prison Arhitect used this style of graphics, but people though it was the other way around...so now when they see a builder or something similar, bang! Rimworld:)
P.S. Played Rimworld in Alpha 4 i think. Its a good game.
