had to laugh when I saw that it's mostly German. Anno, Settlers, Patricians, we seem to love our simulation games.

oo those are my favorite types of games as well.. along with things like Frostpunk, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Ceasar, EU4, CK3 etc.

I've never heard of Settlers before, any other games of a similar mould?

Just try the settlers. It's lovely, really fun and surprisingly well made for such an old game.

I remember first playing it on a 486!

I can recommend the cultures games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultures_(video_game))

Knights & Merchants is the only game I know that is a bit similar. Settlers always felt pretty unique.

And, interestingly, it’s also from Germany. Check out kamremake.com for a rewrite which runs much better than the original.
