I just tried Manor Lords, very promising, will keep an eye on it, but in the meantime, does anyone have recommendations for more gridless city builders ? I don't know how common this type of game is, but I'm itching for something chill (sandbox-y?) and creative, Townscaper was super sweet, I think I'll try Foundation next, maybe Laysara too

Can confirm, impressive game, especially considering the solo dev. I seem to be shit at early army building. I think it's too easy to leave on FF for too long ๐Ÿ˜‚

Foundation is super chill. I haven't played in a while, so no idea how it's changed in the last year, but when I last played, I had a lot of fun with it.

Houses and roads are built by the villagers, while you place and customise key buildings. There's lots of flexibility in how some buildings are constructed, like pubs, monastery, and the lords manor house, with other buildings having upgrades later on you can add to them.

Adding little details is also good fun, with random statues and other rewards popping up from time to time. Definitely recommended.
