Reviews enjoy villages taking an organic shape rather than following a rigid grid. This builder suits players who want to respond to an emerging town, not only impose a fixed layout.
What makes it fun
Watch the town take shape
Paint a residential zone and houses appear within it, while villagers' movements shape the paths. The streets that emerge help you decide where to expand the next zone.
Shape churches and monasteries
The Free-building tool lets you assemble churches and monasteries from individual parts. You can work on a building's appearance until it suits the town around it.
Let production shape the town
Plan the journey from wheat fields to mills and bakeries alongside the locations of homes and workplaces. Building a food supply also means shaping the town around it.
