There are alternatives like Manor Lords that can scratch that itch. Ones that aren’t by a predatory, anti-consumer company and aren’t infected with Denuvo malware.

I have (and love!) Manor Lords! Admittedly I haven't played it since it first came out though. Has the dev added more content? I remember later game feeling a bit directionless

It’s been evolving quite a bit, though it has stalled out the last few months. The developer recently wrote a blog that the next update will be enormous as it reworks almost everything in the game, hence the lack of incremental updates lately.

Same. They’re thw only games I’ve actually bought from them.
Not sure how they haven’t fucked it up so far - maybe because anno is a small franchise in the grand scheme of things, and has a cult following particularly in Germany, so apaet from online requirement and denuvo added to the latest entries, they let it be. I’m actually more amazed that bluebyte/ubi mainz haven’t butchered the anno games like they did with the settlers series.
