Banished (similair to AoE)

Banished

This game is similair to Age of Empires and Ceasar III. It has no fighting but the building and setting up the towns properly is quit a challenge.

From the website:

What is Banished?
Welcome to the world of Banished! In this city-building strategy game, you control a group of exiled travelers who decide to restart their lives in a new land. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

The objective of the game is to keep the population alive and grow it into a successful culture. Options for feeding the people include hunting and gathering, agriculture, trade, and fishing. However, sustainable practices must be considered to survive in the long term.



Survival
Surviving the winters will be among your greatest challenges. Your tailors can make clothing, your people can build houses and burn firewood. But necessities have a price—Cutting down forests reduces the deer population you can hunt. Although your foresters can plant new trees, the cures for many diseases can only be found in forests that have existed for decades.

Farming for many seasons in one place will ruin the soil. Taking fish and game faster than they reproduce will lead to extinction, and your starvation.

Wandering nomads can join your town to grow the population quickly, but allowing them in increases the chance of illnesses from far off lands!




Release Date?
Banished will be available for purchase on February 18, 2014. Check back for updates and follow us on the devlog, twitter, and facebook!

Aging "mechanic" was the biggest problem along with labor place and living place assignment/distance and of course the consumption of goods.
One of the most promising economy sims, REALLY !

(If you don't like it the way it works as vanilla version feel free to try out
about 100 rather flawless working mods the community created,
it took care of many more aspects)

The idea of achievements for implementing in a revived new version of "Tornado - Operation Desert Storm" was hatched from this game.
(Concerning Frankie's "Wish List")

EDIT:
Problems-to-be to face in late game would be if ever reached:
