Patron

Patron is a city-planning simulator with survival elements, where the settlement lives according to social laws. Residents are divided into groups with their own needs, and dissatisfaction with one of them is costly. In addition to construction, you need to monitor supplies, taxes and order, as well as make decisions about how to treat outsiders. Winters are harsh, epidemics occur, and fires require attention. There is exploration, trade, and mercenary units to defend the borders. The game gives the player not only the role of a builder, but also the role of a ruler, and this is noticeable in the number of decrees. The design is strict, the interface is detailed, and the tips help you not to get lost in the numbers. Residents are divided into layers, and each group asks for its own: some need markets, others need order, and others need spectacles. Decrees change the rules of the game, but rash decisions come at the cost of unrest. Trade routes generate income if the roads are safe, which means guards are needed. Buildings require maintenance, so expanding without calculations will not work. Clans and families within the city have their own interests, so it is better to keep order under control. There are difficulty settings where natural disasters happen less often or more often. Jobs require educated residents, which means schools and libraries are needed. Exporting goods brings money if production is established. In addition to construction, there are decrees that affect order and taxes. Clans within the city require attention, otherwise discontent will begin. Trade brings income if production is established. Difficulty settings change the frequency of disasters. For those players who love urban planning with character, the project is suitable.
