What is Of Life and Land?
You lead the founding of settlements in remote parts of an empire. In this single-player colony builder, you place buildings and manage villagers, resource production, and goods transport across maps with different climates. Seasons and settlement growth affect the plants and animals around you.
For you if...

- +you like planning settlements across different climates
Not for you if...
- −you would rather build without managing residents' needs
- −you prefer fast action to gradual settlement growth
What players say
