Rimworld

[Nomad]

Rimworld will not satisfy the same itch as Majesty.

Differences:
- Majesty is set in a magic realm. Rimworld is set on an alien planet.
- Majesty is about hiring heroes who have their own personalities. Rimworld is about recruiting people, who have their own personalities, but varied stuff.
- No voices in Rimworld saying things like "tax collector" or "i am melting". That flavour from Majesty is sorely missing in RW.
- In Majesty your subjects have their own mind and you cannot control them. In RW, you can control and micromanage the people - e.g. for fighting or forcing them to wear specific gear.
- Majesty was about different maps and you followed a story moving from map to map, RW is an open sandbox.

I too have been searching for a similar game as MTFK. Unfortunately no game scratches that itch. I have tried Rimword, Oxygen Not Included (nearest to a sim where you do not control the characters), Driflands (really boring), etc. Nothing comes close.

Seems solid. Let's wait.

And one more:

King's Reign

[Nomad]

King's Reign looks cool. Wishlisted.

Knights and Merchants from the same era. You do manually control soldiers, but all your villagers live their daily lives without direct control.

It also has very cheesy voice sound bites.

I love K&M since childhood. From RTS view, maybe. But still it has zero RPG mechanics. (Hero levels, items, etc.)

Just updating with another game that I recently started playing. It does not have the magic system, but satisfies the criteria of :

It's more like Settlers, and so far I am quite liking it.
- There are production chains you need to satisfy. e.g. Farm -> Mill -> Baker
- The roads are made automatically as your villagers move around.
- Loads of buildings. And some unique mechanisms with the buildings where you can design your own layout - e.g. for Church / Fort etc.

Well, in my opinion, there are lots of games where we don't have direct control of people/units/villagers/etc... That's not the point. What makes Majesty something greater is much more deeper than that I think. RTS+RPG mostly.

Majesty 2

In case someone here is still wondering about similar games..

This is called RTS with indirect control. Look in the search engine for this sub-genre. There were quite a few strategy games like that back in 00s.

Settlers, Alien Nations, Cultures, Knights&Merchants. Even some exotic, like From Dust.

Also, as not-so-related suggestion. Stronghold: Legends is kinda cool, and might scratch an itch for a fantasy kingdom game.

We still don't have a solid alternative, do we?
