Is there any games similar to Age of Empires but without the fighting?

[Cereal Killer]

I'd love a game that's a cross between Cities Skylines and Age of Empires and Banished where you start off very primitive, you have to gather resources, build and level to progress through the ages. Starting with building dirt roads, inventing the wheel etc, ultimately up to modern day or the future and everything in between. Is there anything like this?

Plus OP, you have mentioned Banished and Cities Skylines which I only recently found and really enjoy the city building there - i just tend to use the sandbox or build up a perfect city as a project over time and then destroy it and start again lol.

Im exactly the same in the sims, build a perfect house, everything obsessively lined up then destroy and start again.

I hold a soft spot for Evil Genius, not for progessing through the ages (there isnt any) just for building the bases.
Im the guy that has the grid mod for age of empires 2 just so that all my houses and buildings can be perfectly aligned lol but it does help rangefinding with defensive towers :P

u might like dwarf fortress, but no tech advance
if too complicated for you then there are simpler clones like stonehearth or rimworld

Wanted to say, thanks for this thread. I've been interested in an AoE-like game but with more emphasis on building and advancing stuff and there are some interesting choices named here.

Banished is great, but it doesn't progress through the ages, roads, cars, agriculture etc. :(

Colonial charter mod really expands the game, you should try it

Bumping an old thread but keep an eye out for this one :D

I remember trying Banished from wanting to play the sort of game that OP is talking about -- basically AoE's building stuff but without the fighting other empires part.

Banished is...quite a bit different though. It's more about resource management for your town, and in such a way that you can't micromanage anything (if you try it probably won't work), but you gotta plan things ahead and give people enough resources.

So it's like, I built a school but then found that my town was starving and by the time I told kids to stop going to school and go to chop up firewood and gather food, people were already starving, and there wasn't much I could do about that.

Maybe I was playing it wrong. I dunno.

I enjoy CIvCity and Imperium Romanum. They are more focused on the Roman Empire but do have non warfare options for play and are very fun to play.

You know you just replied to a six year old post, right?

Well I certainly don't mind learning of more games like this! Thanks for adding to it.

Where would the fun be without the fighting?....

Actually to be fair, kudos for ressurecting this six year old post :)

- it made me chuckle this evening so thanks for that anyway, but seriously a lot can happen in six years...
... I am now actually intrigued - have any other such games with that criteria surfaced in that time, or otherwise been discovered by yourselves that we may not have heard about

Did anyone ever play the Anno 1800 or Pharaoh \ Children of the Nile games, they looked like nice city builders and were well regarded by some.
But not having played them myself I cant comment on any fighting elements or desired lack thereof.

There is also this in the works at this time - cunningly termed as a "city building economic strategy" which sounds accurate for the less or ideally zero combat involved style some people seek:

Yeah, I realize now it was a good move by him, especially since builders and RTS are my favorite genres.
