Description

Foundation is a gridless medieval city-builder where players create modular buildings, shape organic cities and manage its villagers!

Setting to redefine the city-builder genre, Foundation puts the emphasis on the organic aspects of urbanism in the cities of old, powered by Polymorph Games’ proprietary game engine, Hurricane, which allows for full mod support and is optimized for the thousands of moving parts that come with building humongous cities.

Foundation combines free-building tools and procedural generation to create the ultimate organic city-building experience.

Assign jobs, create production chains, establish trade. In Foundation, players creations come to life!

Features

  • ORGANIC URBANISM: Create gridless and organically sprawling cities that grow like medieval cities of the period. Plan the construction of various workplaces and watch as the villagers create natural paths and build their own houses. Intuitively paint zones to define areas like housing, farming, gathering and more.

  • THRIVE, AND PROSPER: Weave a complex web of interactions between inhabitants’ needs and skills, resource availability, extraction, and goods production.

  • FLEXIBLE BUILDING CREATION: Craft and design unique free-form buildings such as Taverns, Keeps, Churches and more, using a system of interlocking building parts. Get even more creative by toggling off the snap function for a fully customizable creation.

  • INTERACT WITH THE ESTATES OF THE REALM: Develop the splendor of your village and raise your reputation among the different Estates of the Realm to gain access to exclusive buildings and perks.

  • MODDING COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT: Create and share your own characters, buildings, quests, terrains and even visual and gameplay tweaks with Lua and mod.io and be part of the creative Foundation community.

  • ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK: Immerse yourself in our blissful soundtrack by Audinity, talented composers who worked on Paradox titles such as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV!
