That looks very cool, I really enjoy this kind of games. Same as Sleutelbos I was playing lots of indie city builder Banished, and this game looks similar and better.
 
Oh god please yes. More of these kinds of games.
I'm playing Caesar 3 and Pharaoh&Cleopatra till this day, there weren't any better ancient/medieval city builders out there since. Or at least none that I know of.
 
its a shame actual cities were never properly planned out..

So what exactly happened with Milton Keynes?

Those yeallow junction cross boxes are revenue generator.

Roadabouts ?? Anyone use Billet? Gants Hill?


Did anyone play GODUS?

So is this what Cmdrs. play while one the way to Hutton. When will we get a hyper express gateway- serious- I m basically given up playing in a serious fashion for al the are we there yet.

Also Godus sucked. Molyneux is a pinch penny hack.
