Any games like this?

I have just recently discovered this game and I absolutly love it.

I love the whole sort of setting that you have to build up your village/city/town while also being sort of being able to watch your empire grow in a sense. So does anyone know any games like this? I don't mind price or what ever just fancy some examples :P

I think there is no rts fantasy game with a similar game sense to this one

[Demonrevenge]

Well I don't mind if it isn't fantasy overall, but the whole make a city not control the heroes etc.

Yeah Majesty is pretty unique, Evil Genius, Tropico, Startopia and Dungeon Keeper are about as close as it gets. Those are all classics though, definitely try them out (except Evil Genius maybe, that game was fun but had problems).

Also Majesty HD if you want more of the same. Older game but it did things better IMO

[Demonrevenge]

Ok, cool thanks for the suggestions I got tropico 4 so ill try that out and ill try startopia and dungeon keeper :3

[Demonrevenge]

that does sound very interest

[Demonrevenge]

hmm ok :P, Im actually checking the link you gave right now ;3

Well, there's always Warcraft: TFT and ROC, but you are in direct control of your heroes and units.

The closest thing to it I can think of is Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius, but the gameplay is pretty different. You might like those though if you haven`t tried them. They both have the same kind of hands off approach to things, where your job is to manage your infrastructure while your minions fight on their own, rather than controlling them directly yourself. As someone mentioned both Startopia and Tropico are good, but personally I consider them more sims than actual base defense for the simple reason that your bases aren`t under attack in those games..
It`s a shame that this strategy genre hasn`t been more exploited, since it`s a really attractive concept to sit back and watch your lowly minions do all the dirty work while you can relax and give orders. Especially when you consider just how acclaimed Dungeon Keeper actually was when it released you`d think making more games around the same idea would be a interesting to more gaming companies. Guess it`s considered a niche genre like all the other good genres we used to have. Let`s just release another 500 first person shooters!

I also love majesty. Indirect management is something cool in real life, I hope to see more games like this as well.

Yeah there's some android games very similar to this. Actually there may be a few by Kairosoft in the appstore.

Unfortunately what made the Majesty game originally so addictive is random map generation. Albeit Majest 2 really expounded on a lot of the game mechanics, they also made it less sandboxy.

So if you haven't already, and can deal ith early 2000s graphics, I'd definitely recommend Majesty HD. There's also Dwarfortress and Gnomoria. It's not entirely the same but you are still dealing with characters with a sense of individuality. Maybe less in gnomoria. But if you get one of the mods with added tilesets for DwarfFortress it can be pretty fun. Though incredibly hard at times.

I'll second what most have been saying if you haven't picked up Majesty HD, you should definitely do it. There are some features from the second one that I do like, parties and additional flags for controlling heroes. The first game though had some very fun and challenging missions, I think my favourite was the wave mission, where you have to survive 10+ waves of different groups of monsters (like all goblins, or all minotaurs). Pretty sure there's also alot more hero choices in it then the 2nd to play with too.

My only other game to suggest that no one else has is skyward collapse, it's a bit different in gameplay though to majesty series. More of a god game, where you manipulate things, very fun none the less I've found.

Black & White is kind of like this.

I remember saying "neat" with that for an hour until I realized the game was just mashing numbers together like a kid with gi joes and hit uninstall.exe. Although that probably describes every Arcen game.

Gnomoria is a cool game with the slowest dev cycle ever, it's killing me.
