Rim World and Going Medieval are my go to city builder / colony sims. Atrocities are rewarded in those two!
Comment on Laysara: Summit Kingdom is a stunning mountainous city builder that’s out now in early access

I haven’t really messed around with city builders, though I did have a blast playing Zeus and Poseidon.
What are y’all’s favorite city builders?
^ Not in terms of how many mods there are or raw Numbers Of Things in the game but in the actual depth and fun to the decisions you are making in moment to moment gameplay.

Going Medieval looks interesting!
I have still never played Rimworld, I keep meaning to buy it and get around to playing it. I feel like playing it co-op would be a blast.

I’ve exclusively played rimworld using the multiplayer mod and it’s a dream even with 90 other mods on. Can’t recommend enough!

Do you have any recommendations for playing as a new player with a friend who is a new player using the co-op mod. I know that isn’t the ideal way to do it, but I don’t mind steep learning curves so much especially when it is for games that are meant to be played for years and years like Rimworld.

Its like HOM 3 but the campaign focuses on many short games played over a meta campaign where you gain the ability to build new buildings and units based on the “shards” you conquer (each “shard” is its own separate run through of a short HOM3 type game). There are “local lords” that will fight for control of the shard but the real problem is when other gods similar to yourself also try to stake a claim on a shard and you have to battle them.
Eador Genesis is HARD af, but the New Horizons mod has been in development for years and it has grown the game into an extremely tight, challenging experience that you really ought to check out if you like HOM 3. The graphics are also wonderfully old school pixelated and simple like HOM 3’s are.

Feels shivers down his spine but gets interested
Hey, this sounds really cool! I’ll give it a check.

It is a bit hard to find info on some of the units and mechanics but the underlying game is just so damn tight and the turn based combat is nail biting, so it is worth pushing through that annoyance.
If you end up liking it but find it confusing feel free to reach out with questions, I have played a good bit of it.
