As someone who played Sierra city builders almost exclusively when I was growing up, please do. Hasn't been a good game in that style in ages.

It's not set in ancient times, but Banished is pretty good: http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/game/

Fun game, but the AI eventually killed it for me. You can tell a villager to work on a bridge, and he'll sometimes try to walk around the river to work on the far side, starving to death in the process. Oops.

But that wasn't long after release, maybe it's been fixed by now.

There are also some pretty cool Banished mods on the workshop including http://colonialcharter.com/.

Thanks for this, looks like it will even run on my old Thinkpad X200s, which is the only Windows computer I have at the moment.

On Android, Townsmen is pretty good. No external enemies, so it's quite relaxing achieving a balanced medieval economy.
