I've always been a big fan of the Anno series, pretty much played all of them!

Recently tried the Steamworld Build demo, and it was great. Looking for something to scratch the itch until release though. I've heard Farthest Frontier is good, any opinions on that, or other recommendation?

It would be great if there was a middle ground between city skylines and mini motorways. Something where the city you build is the result of the constraints imposed on you.

Mini motorways offers a challenge, but is too simple (and too easy to cheese). City skylines is complex, but rather pointless. You could self impose challenges, but what’s the fun with that?

Maybe there’s a mod, but I haven’t looked into it.
