similar games?

[Tanadiel]

I really love the aspect of this game, but r there any other games like that to build ur own town from 1st or 3rd person?
I know there is the f2p game "dont get lost" and " colony simulator" but any others? :D

Would be the upcoming other Dynasty games from the same publisher I think.
Wild West Dynasty in a wild west setting already came out recently, but it's still very early access so you might want to wait a bit til it's more polished and has all the systems working.
Sengoku dynasty comes out this year - similar but in a Japanese setting.

I don't know of any existing ones that have the same concept. Manor Lords might be one that looks promising as well, though I think without the dynasty part. It's also supposed to come out this year.

Not sure. I've seen some demo where you could actually walk around in the village you built, but I do believe you walk around as the lord and can't really interact with the buildings or do all the stuff your villagers do, like in Medieval Dynasty.

shame, but thansk for answer !

Going Medieval? You take control over every resident though as apose to just the one. Simmilar system to Rimworld. Also it's isometric view. I would suggest Kingdoms, but the developer hasn't made any communication in over a year or so, so I wouldn't put your hopes in that one. However, I actually really enjoy what is currently on offer and still play from time to time. As I believe it scratches that itch for relaxing, chop some trees and build your settlement. But it may be stuck in EA :( People suggested Empires and Tribes for similar games to Kingdoms/Medieval Dynasty.

Have a look at Saelig

[felmari]

probably most direct would be kenshi and empire and tribes. mostly because of open world building and management as well rpg elements.

Although it has a really bad reputation, mainly due to the publisher dumping an unfinished product out as a complete game, may I suggest Medieval Engiineers by Keen Software House? KSH (after much pleading by the community) opened the code up to a small group of the most dedicated modders and rebranded the game as a "Community Edition".

Those modders have been scrubbing the code, and have already fixed the major bugs (Hotfix !) or its on the roadmap to fix. These guys really love this game and despite the fact they all have full time jobs, have really put their hearts into this project.

Having said that, on to the game....

The first big thing is that this game is voxel based. You actually dig through dirt and mine through stone. You can level land for farm fields. Or carve a fortress out of a mountain top. Wanna dig a moat? Yep (but you'll need the "Water in ME" mod for the H2O)

There are quite a few similarities (in the early game at least) between the two and some huge differences. The first major difference is that there is no storyline to ME. It is best played on a server against live opponents. There are roaming bandits in ME, just like MD, but these guys are toting spiked cudgels or rusty swords right from the get go, so avoid them if you can.

The second major difference is building. The mechanics of building are similar (have the materials on hand, swing a hammer, etc.etc.) but the difference is that the building is freeform. You don't build a workshop, you (depending on how much research you have put into the building "tree") build your fort, (or manor house, or castle....) and then you build a workbench (there are different types for different functions). Your settlement doesn't have to look like every other settlement anymore. As much as I want Toplitz to buy the rights to ME from KSH and merge the two games, I'd be overjoyed if they just changed the building system to ME's.

Third major difference... remember me saying there are no storylines? Aaaand no NPCs other than the Barbs and some deer. There are some great mods that add defenders and scouts and a smith and even ones that give the Barbies flaming swords and a serious bump to hp.

The graphics aren't as good as MD, but ME wasn't built with Unreal either.

I've talked to one of the guys who are working on it (ME) and there are multiple updates already in the works.

If nothing else, the game is pretty cheap, especially if you wait until one of the sales to buy it. I think I paid something like $10.

Go check out their workshop to see some of the crazy ass ♥♥♥♥ you can do... hot air balloons.... steam trains.... trebuchet and ballistas and catapults... there are old west and WWII mods. It's basically a construction sandbox with the possibility of getting shanked by Barbs or your neighbor attacking you because you started a claim war (you can claim map grids but you gotta pay in coin or materials to add time to the claim.).

I'm not really doing the game justice. Just get it. You'll have fun. If you do get it, let me know and we can team up on a server. It really helps to have more than one person in your House.

I talk too much when I'm stoned.

Sorry.

the problem is that most colony sims are not from character perspectives, they are "god games," like simcity.

i /guess/ fallout 4 counts, but i cannot recommend anyone give bethesda money.

i tend to like the classics: simcity, dwarf fortress, rimworld. kenshi is great. actual colony sim mechanics could probably be added to project zomboid and/ or cataclysm: dark days ahead.

There is a game called Kingdoms. That is very similar to this game. Kingdoms actually adds npc building, npc AI and warfare. Unfortunately it is a single dev who seems to have abandoned the game. Even though it is abandoned it is only $10, and I would say there is definitely $10 of game play implemented. Although I do have an issue with giving the dev any more money after abandoning the game.
