Playing a remake of a childhood favourite. 🖤 I tried downloading the original version, Pharaoh as well as Cleopatra, but sadly it wouldn't work on my Steam Deck, so the remake it is!

Hey why can't we have more city builder games like frostpunk? A game that's not the same "simulator" Over and over again where you just play Cities Skylines.

I want a game that makes me build a city not just because it's cool, but so I can make people *survive* here. Give me moral choices, make me work for the resources and god damn let me try to make sure nobody's starves.

Are there any other games like it? Did I not look into the correct places? Please let me know Tv T

Synergy, Upcoming Strategy Game With Moebius Style Graphics

Synergy is described as a survival city building game. It's not out yet so I don't know much about how it will play, but it sounds like your people are on a strange alien planet, and you have to explore your surroundings to help your people survive, and build up your settlement.

I love the idea of exploring a beautiful alien land, drawn in the style of Moebius, and researching all the strange things you find.

So I'm playing Timberborn Experimental Update 5 that adds bad water. (City Builder as intelligent beavers after the hooman's caused catastrophic environmental damage and then wiped themselves out.)

Objectively I think it's an important mechanic because it creates new map challenges and a mix of disasters with competing ways to protect from them.

My biggest complaint is there is no tutorial to walk you through how to prepare for a Badtide and you have to figure it out on your own. I got absolutely walloped by my first one with no protection in place, lost all my crops and trees and by the time I pulled out of the ensuing famine had 11 beavers left to rebuild with. So uh, it's a very effective disaster. I had one water source and managed to dam some of it, and then the Badtide flowed in and contaminated all of.

There's a few things I should have done:

Drained the reservoir of clean water so I could capture the Badwater until the Badtide is over. Let the clean water flush the rest (when it comes) so it gets diluted and quickly flows through three rest of the system. It's now critical to get the floodgates and not just use dams. Badwater can get trapped behind dams and you have to remove them to flush the system.

Research Badwater pumps and fluid dumps to remove the accumulating Badwater, store it in tanks, and use a fluidpump to dump it into a safe channel. This will probably be an all hands on deck thing during a disaster.

Honestly it was pretty demoralizing having my existing skills and methods used against me by this new disaster. But I think that's ultimately going to be good because it turns sure bets into something you really have to manage. If we're talking about an environmental disaster management game, this makes a lot of sense and adds another dimension of realism. It does make the game a lot harder, but once I learn I think I'll be able to manage it okay.

Since the days of Sims City, city builders have got a lot more thoughtful about disasters, how to make them a challenge, and how to help you be resilient about them but not just be basic rebuilds.
