What is Foundation?
Foundation is a grid-less, sprawling medieval city building simulation with a heavy focus on organic development, monument construction and resource management.
The game features in-depth resource management akin to the Anno (Dawn of Discovery) series, expertly mixed with city building elements from Settlers, SimCity, and Pharaoh all topped with narrative encounters inspired by Crusader Kings II to create the ultimate medieval ant-farm simulation.

About me:
My name is Mark and I'm a middle aged (old) gamer doing let's plays of games I'm playing, some old and some new. I've found that recording and sharing game play video is fun, and makes the games I play even more enjoyable. This is a hobby for me with my goal to provide at least a few videos a week, as many as I have time for.
I do hope you find these videos enjoyable! Comments are more than welcome, especially tips if I've done something silly (which is most of the time). Likes and subscribes are always appreciated!

    My biggest problem is ratios of citizens and goods before expanding into a new zone/production branch. Had my city at consistent 95 happiness, 80 villagers and a good surplus. Purchased the new zone, set up a church, market, wells, and zones before turning on immigration. It immediately went to shit in 20 people bringing iron into the fold. Really digging this game and the guides I've seen so far, hopefully you touch on some more advanced content.

    To elaborate if advice from anyone can be given: 2 production of berry (4(, wheat, milk, wool, and one shop for each to progress product lines, minimal transportation as they were excessive. As soon as I let people in demand went to shit, more people just to create more goods demand, more goods which cost more people. I realize that's the idea for progression but it feels EXTREMELY tight on what roles should be filled with no middle ground.

    No, at least with the latest version they'll wander most of the map but if it's far enough they will time out and start to fill their needs if the walk is too far. I generally tear down and rebuild if I'm moving extraction areas, or better yet combine an extraction area with a forester camp (plants trees) for a perpetual extraction zone. :)

    Hi fresh bred. Wood or planks? The lumber camp creates logs, the sawmill creaes planks. You need planks for the warehouse and other buildings past the few starter ones? Be sure to check out their discord, link in description, where you can ask for help directly.

    Bought the game off of steam and didn't find the HELP list all that useful. So far the game has NOT been intuitive like other city builder games. Seems like the design is a ton of micro management and most of it seems unnecessary. I have subscribed to see if you offer more on this game since I like builder games. At the moment I am finding it difficult to get the market stalls built and in operation. Not sure why since I have assigned a market tender, have berries in storage, and a builder. Must be some small micro management detail I haven't noticed yet and I am watching this video to see if this is revealed, as well as other details.

    Have picked up a few details, but the game seems quirky. I click on something and it takes almost a minute before anything happens. Even getting out of the game takes a while. Have the food market stall built and a tender assigned, but none of the villagers have stopped to buy any berries. Trying to figure out why since they all seem to be hungry. Wow, there is clearly a lot of little details you skipped over in this tutorial since I am having all sorts of issues and not finding anything to suggest a solution, or process. It is obvious you did a lot of editing when making this video since I have restarted three times, deleted prior attempts, and still cannot get the simplest of things to work. I am starting to wonder how many hours I have to let the game run before stuff happens. There must be triggers for events that are hidden so well I cannot find them.

    @@wastedwatts Make sure to visit their discord for help as well. It is quirky, and being early access this tutorial is already out of date (new manual promotion system). While not a tutorial you can try watching my Twisty River series, or my recent play of the new preview. It's early access, and not polished yet, but by far my favorite builder, even with all the quirks.
