Our final announcement comes from the Foundation.

I covered this game 2 months ago and today I'm happy to let you know it past it's

goal on kickstarter and it's on it's way to secure some extended goals.

Foundation is a grid-less, sprawling medieval city building simulation with a heavy focus

on organic development and monument creation.

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 city

simulation!

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' in-house game

engine, Hurricane, which allows for full mod support and is optimized for the thousands

of moving parts that come with building humongous cities.
