Games: Base Building

Base-building games — your fortress, base, colony or farm, raised from a pair of planks to an unassailable complex. The common recipe: gather resources, raise walls, survive raids and take pride in your lightbulb factory. From survival fortification to colony sims and factory sandboxes. Tip: if you love beautiful bases — look at community screenshots and reviews; they rate both "building depth" and the fairness of enemy AI that the base is tested against. Year and size filters will help you find a fitting scale.
