What is Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles?

This open-world sandbox city builder takes place on the Ursee, where you build a home for its remaining free people. Place towers and walls along cliffs and waterways, extend resource networks, explore by sea, and trade or fight with other factions. Freebuild removes conflict and resource limits; Total Conquest starts you at war with every faction.

For you if...

+you prefer relaxed, experimental building over rigid optimization
+you want a building mode without conflict or resource limits

Not for you if...

−you want challenging combat and deep strategy systems
−you need clear goals rather than open-ended expansion
