can i know what game is that, i mean in the pic.

Its kinda hard to avoid the war factor in games situated under the rts genre especially with the specifics of seeing the peasant or workers to go cut the wood and collecting berries.

You might be interested in the rise of nations if you haven't tried it before.

Others, like age of empires series, rise of legends, majesty series and etc all fall under the war factor and they do have resources gathering mechanism.

Other than what you've mention like anno and stronghold, the best bet would be some really old games in the stronghold era.

Civilization series can ah? but turn based

hmm..

how about the guild series, europa 1400. Buggy game, but its a worth a try, since its kinda old and cheap. Purely on economics, money laundering, politics, and mob

yup galciv is in the 4x category.. same with space empire V , which i'm still playing now... turn based ehhehehe

come to think of it.. anno 1404 aka dawn of discovery.. by ubisoft

i like it very much.. got warfare and resources gathering/buiding/mission and so on but the sandbox is the best

Empire Earth II

Gets pretty hilarious when you out-tech your opponents to ridiculous levels. You'll see stuff like nuclear bombers dumping nukes on medieval swordsmen.

Err does Tropico series counts?

but if no sea trade i can't move my stuff/production around ....

i though empire earth 2 involves combat?

the guild 2 supprisingly have updates till today. lol. last i check was 9 digits number with lots of dots.

Since we are talking a lot about Stronghold,..
