Any other games like the guild 2?

[CiKi]

The guild 3 was quite a disappointment, nowhere near explored the potential it had. No interiors, No real politicians or non colored dynasties, workers popping in & out of work instead of going out from workers quarters.

Any other games you guys recommend which is similar like this with life, economic, political elements?

[Pokemang!]

sadly no. i think this is the only game in its genre such as black & white/populous

It's not fully similar but another old gem is Patrician III. More based on trading by ship but it def has a lot of elements The Guild has.

Closest out of modern games I tried, which are still very far off, are Medieval Dynasty and maybe Ostriv, stangely enough Ostriv feels to me like one big network of The Guild companies but it does not really have political stuff and such.
Medieval Dynsaty has no real econimical system or anything tho, and also no politics.

Strangely enough if I think further even Moun&Blade Warband has some of these elements, it has some politics, it has dynamic economies, you can start companies, even buy land with some mods etc.
But the main focus of the game will always be combat.

The fact that I can not think of any games that come closer is a testament to the uniqueness of The Guild:)

Hmm ow also really like running production chains in Kenshi but that experience is vert far off and probably not what you are looking for

I love all the games you mentiones but yea none of them are like the guild! Want to try mount & blade with banner kings mod but many mods are not even updated.

I might check out Ostriv, didnt know about that.

If I ever wanna make a game, I d defi go for something like The guild 2. Cant we just get a remaster with pretty graphics & less bugs from THQ?

Haven't played personally, but this always gets a mention.

tried it, couldnt get into it, just not polished at all, UI is weird, camera controls are bad.

Bellwright that's coming out seems very similar but with more combat compared to both Sealig and Medieval Dynasty

Since there are many Germans playing Guild II, note that Patrician 2 = Patrician 3, however, 2 is the German version, while 3 is the English version with addons already included in the base game.

Already on wishlist, looks great but snail is the publisher

Okay I've since bought Saelig and put a little over 20 hour into it, and to my surprise I actually like it way more than the Guild II. Its a little unintuitive at first and takes getting used to controls like the camera and stuff, but once it started to feel natural I am loving it. It has quite some things added that make me prefer it to The Guild. Was not expecting that. Can def recommend.

Isn't 3 really 2.5? As we're on the topic, Rise of Venice is the modern equivalent, except based on Venice as opposed to the Hansa and not being a massive improvement to the mechanics.

If you like dynasty building you may like the Crusader Kings series. Probably best to start with #2 as #1 is a bit terrible, unless of course you hate yourself (basically me).

If you like the RTS and RPG elements, The Age of Empires series, Dawn of Man, Elder Scrolls games might be of interest too.

There's also The Guild Gold Edition, aka The Guild 1. It's not as good as Guild 2, but the reliance on Action Points and consumables as well as the very lineal guild progression is rather interesting. Guild 2 + expansions are much better though.

Reminds me of the Guild ahaha
If it was not early acess I would feel safer trying it

The dev plans to exit EA soon. He said "within the next few updates."

I just spent 50 hours playing Saelig it took me a while to work things out but I enjoy the game, someone suggest G2 why I am here. But Saelig is worth the money.
