Setting to redefine the city-building genre, Foundation puts the emphasis on the organic aspects of urbanism in the cities of old, powered by Polymorph Games’ proprietary game engine, Hurricane, which allows for full mod support and is optimized for the thousands of moving parts that come with building humongous cities. The game features in-depth resource management akin to the Anno (Dawn of Discovery) series, expertly mixed with classic city-building elements from Settlers, SimCity, and Pharaoh all topped with narrative encounters inspired by Crusader Kings II to create the ultimate medieval ant-farm simulation. Grow your untapped land into a great sprawling kingdom as you appease different factions of your area, all while listening to a beautiful original soundtrack by the veteran composers who’ve created music for Paradox Interactive titles such as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV.

Great laid back game

Had lot of fun, the gridless building really offers nice opportunities for beatutiful builds. The game is very very easy though, no matter what you do the village will balance itself out again so you can keep going.

Still in early access, but it looks to be a great medieval city builder, and it's getting lots of updates. Will probably buy this sometime soon.
