I am looking for more games like this: though this list seems like a good starting point.

Anybody have any recommendations or experiences with city builders (the less-stressful variety, not like Frostpunk or something haha)

Thanks!

    If you’re into retro games, the original Impressions city builders are great. Caesar 3, Pharaoh, Zeus or Emperor are essentially skins of the same game and come highly recommended.

      Dang man so much time spent on pharaoh+cleopatra over the decades (sucks to be able to say it like that)

      But the music and city noises are burned into my soul. Such good times

        I spent sooo much time on the demo as a kid.

        My grandmother had a computer with the demo on it with only one basic map, I’ve played this same map over and over each time we went to her place.

        Then later in life I’ve discovered the full version !

      Have you played any of the modern incarnations of those games perhaps, and if so did you like them? I’ve been looking at Nebuchadnezzar for a while now but could never pull the trigger, seemed always kinda meh
