I'm looking for a game like the above
Out of this site, which one is the best?
The Guild
Patrician 3
Stronghold (or/and Crusader)
Port Royale 2
And, what are your all time favourites?
Mine are:
Tropico
Sim City
Railroad Tycoon 3
Transport Tycoon
Put Capitalism 2 into that list and you're good to go.
Ok
I though it was one of those old games that were truly quite bad, but it looks alright
I also forgot to say I love Evil Genius
I bought it when it was first released and have been playing it ever since
So which one should I get?
Personally I'd go for Patrician 3. It's got a good blend of pretty much all the things you were after as well as some limited politics and some weird random events.
My sister had a ship called the Bride Of Leubeck who's crew hardly ever completed a delivery because they kept seeing sea monsters and running away, the fact they were often transporting Beer had nothing to do with it I'm sure...

Oh no!!!
You changed my mind
Now I can't make a decision between Patrician 3 and the Guild!!!!!
The obvious solution is to buy both
True, but I only have one ticket
My favorites are Patrician 3 and Capitalism Plus. They're both fantastic games
Out of Patrician 3 and The Guild, I think you'll like Patrician 3 more, as that is more economy-oriented, while in The Guild has a heavier emphasis on dynasty building/everyday life.
(I wonder when JudasIscariot will find this thread and post that The Guild is the perfect choice or something like that. :-))

try the demos
There's a new release in the business genre now; East India Company. It's supposedly good, although not quite as good or complex as Patrician 3.
THE GUILD - DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE
The Guild is the best game ever created.
Over to you, Judas.
The Guild is awesome, Patrician is very good; IMHO, TG wins in creativity\insanity region, while Patrician is much more balanced and smooth on edges.
Please let us know what the final decision will be :).

Ouch! Isn't Judas enough to make free advertising for the Guild?
Besides, he does it in a more stylish manner... ;-).
Ladies and gentlemen, TheJoe is the living example of someone who played too much Guild. If you don't want to become like him, use The Guild with caution!
