Thank you for the information! I have Children of the Nile, but not yet tried it, so I'll start there then

You have Sumerians on your STEAM wish list. I've now played the game for 17 hours following the campaign, which acts as a tutorial. Then I get stuck in a bug that causes the builders to freeze in one place and everything to stagnate. You understand that further building is no longer possible.
I sent the developers a bug report, in which they found nothing. Now they ask for a saved file to email or to Discort.
Since I don't know how to do this, it's considered unplayable for me.

The game is very similar to Caesar 4 in combination with Children of the Nile.
I suggest trying that one first and not burning your fingers yet with the Sumerians.

So that is how you chose your current username then, perhaps, from Banished? I also liked that game, but Ostriv is so relaxing and peaceful, yes, and beautiful.

It's been 10 years since I played Banished in early access. I'm also the only one who pinned the developer with my hints and tips. How quickly time passes and how many have tried to emulate this game, using it to shape their own ideas.
So far I have not found a game where I can play so quietly, without war and damnation.

Yeah, me too. The invitation didn't come with any expectations or commitment.
As we both share the love for Ostriv and agree in many other aspects, I thought it's a good idea to have you in my friends list. So all good

Thank you for your comment. I also wish you success in your achievements.
