Game Groups > Genre: Simulation - Castle / Fortress building

Games where the primary or a significant part of gameplay consists of the player constructing a castle, fortress, keep, or any equivalent defensive structures by manually designing, planning, placing, and/or constructing individual parts of mentioned structures. Individual parts may consist of walls, towers, gates, supporting siege equipment, etc., all of which when combined may be identified as mentioned defensive structure.

Due to the nature of games with castle building, siege combat is usually also a major part of combat.

As many strategy games include various defensive structures, please emphasize on games that really dedicate a significant amount of gameplay on castle building, of which without it would no longer represent the essence of the game adequately.
