Post favorite city builders or management games

I like Banished, but I eventually reached a phase that I was artificially inflating my population and keeping everyone alive through mass trade good sales and twelve trading posts to buy food with. I hit 1500 population and things fell apart when I didn't get food shipments for two years, leading to mass starvation.

Playing a lot of Frostpunk right now, it's pretty fun. Endless mode is kind of frontloaded though, I guess the same as Bastion, but since your population is practically capped at 600, you eventually run out of things to do. The scenarios are great though, since usually victory means you're trying to keep up with things throughout the whole deal, especially on survivor difficulty.

Build fishing dock near the lake, build two of them, make sure to get everyone the fuck out of markets, mines and quarries. stop wasting stone on stone roads and bridges and go upgrade your houses.

I never bother with fishing docks, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but they never seem to return much fish. I get around 350 a year when the hunter's hut and gatherer's hut produce around 1000-1200. I have seen the fishing dock actually work before so I know it does have potential to handle correctly.

What's that new medieval city builder in EA where your citizens make their own paths and shit based on where they walk the most? I remember seeing a video of it in alpha a year ago but they have made a lot of progress since then. Just can't remember its name.

Do you cover max amount of lake tiles with them? Usually fishing docks are the fastest source of food, probably more that half of the food in that screenshot is fish.

By the max, do you mean placing them at river bends? That's about the only time I can get them to fully work, when their harvesting radius is basically encircled by rivers on two sides. Just placing them where one side is covered in water tiles doesn't seem to net me much. I'd say about half the circle is covered by water tiles on average.

I thought I was misusing them by making too many in one river (I set them all apart from each other's gather radius, but I thought fishing upstream would hurt those downstream), but that didn't seem to be the case either.

AOE2 is pretty good

It's like Dwarf Fortress.
You mod
You have grand designs
It's pretty simple mate

reminder that the more trading posts you have, the more traders pass through, thus enabling you to auto purchase and sell goods at fast rates and avoid having to do shit like mining/stonecutting and instead focus on brewing with imported fruits to arbitrage for literally anything you want because alcohol lets you become the trading kike

Well then I don't know how you don't get much fish.

yeah or you could build a cool village

Emperor was the best imo. It's harder than Zeus, easier than Pharoah, and with all the QoL improvements without being bugged.

Anyone got the megalink for Banished?

Just wait until a sale happens if you're that much of a cheapskate

Wasn't there some big mod for banished? Anyone played it?

Colonial Charter but I haven't tried it.

Pirate Bay has the latest version

I am still incredibly sad /cbg/ is dead, because great games like Cities Skylines exist and Citybound is still being developed.

Cities skylines is pretty much the perfect city builder for me, especially with the workshop. Any game trying to get into its niche will have to try very hard.
