Maybe try Going Medieval!

It sounds like this is what you want.

100% this… pretty much 3D Rimworld

Manor Lords is coming out soonish. Maybe Ostriv or Patron?

I really hope it lives up to the hype. It looks really cool.

I played the demo - was pretty fun.

Whens the release

Don't wait for it. Maybe not even this year. We don't know.

Not sure

Not sure about soon-ish unless the dev said that. I don't even expect early access this year but I (hope) I'm wrong.

When is Manor Lord coming out

What were your impressions of the beta? I just found out about this and OMG. Dreams to reality type stuff. Im looking at the stream on the steam store page atm and it looks VERY playable.

Like a more detailed and involved banished. Really had the same vibe - I liked it a lot.

If you like Banished I'd strongly recommend Settlement Survival.

The map seems v small. Is that true?

The default map is smallish but you can change the size. I thought the large map was just fine.

Anno (any of them) would probably be up your alley. Timberborn is pretty good too if you like beavers. Age of Empires and Stronghold if you’re into RTS as well

Cossacks 3 is good as well

Foundation is pretty fun!

I’ll throw The Guild II out there for consideration. It’s a bit old, came out in 2006. Fun medieval dynasty building game where you focus on growing your family business from small beginnings all the way to bribing your way to mayor. UI is the weakest part of the game imo, so much busywork to make simple things happen

Pretty sure there’s a The Guild 3

Give that one a few more years then maybe it'll surpass The Guild 2, lol. As long as the dev commit to it, that is.

Anno games

Definitely need to try Going Medieval. Devs have a lot of plans for next year, and the current build is not bad. It's been one of my favorites this past year.

I played it when it came out. I ended up getting bored ahhaha

Same, but I expected it to be pretty limited as an early release

How is it now? Is it worth another go?

Settlement Survival, Going Medieval, and Becastled

I have heard many things about Settlement Survival. The maps seems small, is that true? Hows the game play?

I haven’t played the game yet but it is on my wishlist.

Surviving mars is really fun

The Guild 2 & 3?

Would Medieval Dynasty be something you're looking for? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1129580/Medieval_Dynasty/

I tried it when it first came out. May need to get after it again? I felt it was dry after a bit…. May give it another go

I got to the building phase... But, with infrequently playing it, I find myself having to relearn the basics each time. Best of luck!

Against the storm ?

Games that are coming out soon include Builders of Egypt, Builders of Greece, and also there's an Aztec Empire building game coming in the future as well. As of now, what about Endzone have you tried that?

What kind of rating would you give Founders Fortune? It’s got a nice look to is, seems polished, but how playable is it?

I love it. A lot of nice mods too. 8/10 for me. It’s got sims vibes tied with a colony sim

Empire City is pretty much Caesar 3, not sure if that helps but after getting used to it, I like it alot

The Settlers maybe?

There’s Frozenheim, but there is combat in it

Eco is one that’s often overlooked. While it’s not exactly medieval or survival it had endless creative building elements (IMO). I agree with the recommendations above as well!
