About
Protect and guide your small band of settlers to forge a town from untamed wilderness at the edge of the known world. Harvest raw materials, hunt, fish and farm to sustain your advancing town. Produce crafted items for villagers to trade, consume, equip and fight with as you battle for your survival against the elements and outside threats (pacifist mode available for players who do not want to engage in combat).
Harvest, Grow, Craft - Harvest 16 different raw materials from wood, stone and clay, to metal ores, wild herbs, and honey. Grow 19 types of food, including forage items, fish and game, plus 12 food crops, each with different characteristics. Produce 32 crafted items and materials in a multi-tiered economy.
Build and Advance - Construct over 190 different buildings as you grow your town from a fledgling settlement to a bustling city. Your town center and housing will advance through multiple building tiers as the prosperity and desirability of your town increases and advancements are made in a vast 140+ point Tech Tree. Upgrade production buildings to increase efficiency and enable production of more advanced items. Construct a temple and customize your people’s faith with discoverable relics.
Most Detailed Farming System Ever - Strategically select from 12 crops with unique growing characteristics and configure crop rotations to maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases. Cultivate your fields over time, removing weeds and rocks, raising fertility and adjusting soil mixture to achieve maximum crop production to keep your growing population fed.
Advanced Town Simulation - Villagers actively live their lives and perform their jobs in real time. Watch as villagers carry goods across town from remote work-sites to be processed into materials and crafted into items. See foods and goods delivered to homes, the trade post or stored for later use. Develop roads, transport wagons and improve storage methods to facilitate the efficient movement of goods through your town and prevent spoilage.
Randomly Generated Maps - No game is ever quite the same with beautiful, completely randomized terrain generation and resource distribution. Unique biomes and map themes increase replayability, with extreme maps leading to unique challenges. Controls allow players to specify the amount of water or mountains they desire, even down to which resources can generate on the map.
Idyllic to Brutal - Customizable difficulty options allow players to turn off features like invaders and disease, for a more tranquil experience or max out difficulty to truly test their town-builder prowess. Enable custom game options to cater the experience to your desires.
Environmental Interaction - Develop your economy based on which resources are locally abundant and produce items for trade to acquire that which you lack. Erect fencing to keep deer away from crop fields and stop bears from raiding food storage. Manage tree cover to prevent underground water supplies from drying up. Balance the need to clear land for agriculture around vital natural resources like wild growing medicinal plants and forage items.
All Them Old-Timey Diseases! - Ensure your villagers have clean water to stop outbreaks of dysentery and cholera. Collect berries and plant greens to avoid scurvy and ensure a healthy diet. Make sure villagers are properly shoed and clothed to reduce chances of contracting tetanus, rabies or frostbite. Build a healer’s house to quarantine the infected and provide herbs and medicine for treatment. Manage rodent populations by collecting waste, securely storing food and employing rat catchers to ward off the feared bubonic plague.
Fend Off Would-Be Invaders - Choose to play on pacifist and avoid combat altogether or engage with varying levels of raider difficulty to raise the stakes for your town’s survival. Progress from wood palisades to stone walls, build towers and barracks, recruit and equip soldiers in the defense of your town as rising prosperity attracts the attention of raiders and foreign armies seeking plunder.
Steam Workshop Integration - With full support for modding through the freely available Unity development tools and Steam Workshop, players have the power to take the game's strong foundation and build upon and reinvent it to their wildest desires.

Perfect balance between Anno and Settlers!
I purchased the game at the start of early access and I have not been disappointed. PERFORMANCE: The game plays smoothly. The graphics are nicely done. It is worth it to zoom in on the buildings now and then to appreciate the details. GAMEPLAY: The game has a nice mixture of exploration, development, advancement and danger. The game settings allow enough range of difficulty to allow casual players and more 'hard core' players to tailor things to their liking. INTERFACE: The building and town growth is simple to understand yet gratifying as you see your town grow. The grid and gridless placement systems allow a wide degree of flexibility for how you wish your town and buildings to develop. There is a generous assortment of decorative features to allow you to customize your town appearance. COMPANY: Crate has shown to be responsive to player feedback and the first DLC has already been released, and at a modest price. While the game is a finished product, there is the potential to be expanded with a plethora of additions and growth. Caution: This game can be addictive.
i love love this game even giving me stress a lil bit loll
This is a challenging but peaceful medieval city builder and management sim. You will not receive much hand-holding. The goal is not to build some sprawling megalopolis but rather to have a small outpost turn into a thriving town of about 2000 people. Some of the menu design can be a bit frustrating at times. Beautiful music and sounds. The aesthetic is closer to a modern Age of Empires than it is an ultra-realistic portrayal. I see it as a spiritual successor to a game like Stronghold.
Excelente city builder, curva de dificultad bastante pronunciada
Honestly this is one of the better settlement builder/manager games I have played. It forces you to sustain your growth and adapt to a changing environment. Great game and highly recommend!
It's a rich real-time strategy. It takes some time to understand all the controls and feedback mechanisms, but that just adds to the enjoyment. The enemies don't come often, but be prepared. Lots of depth here to keep you playing for a while. And I'm still on the easy mode.
Very good game !
Офигенная игра
Not a finished game. I don't know if it's intentional but I constantly get maps that don't have all mineral resources available on the map.
