About Foundation
Foundation is a gridless medieval city builder. You create modular buildings, shape an organic city and manage its villagers on procedurally generated maps with almost no construction constraints.
Shape your city
Use free-building tools to assemble modular buildings from individual parts, then develop them into monuments. With the painting tool, you guide organic growth by marking areas for homes, choosing where roads are paved, setting patrols and designating forest extraction zones. Maps are generated without limits on their number.
Manage your village
Assign jobs, develop production chains and build an economy in several ways. You can tax villagers, trade with neighboring villages or fight for the King.
Choose your progress
Progress through three Estates of the Realm: Labor, Clergy and Kingdom. You can specialize in one path or combine them. Choose an Aspiration to shape your playthrough, adjust the difficulty, or use Creative mode to build without constraints.
Additional features
- Full modding integration.
- Over 100 minutes of atmospheric medieval music composed by Audinity.
