I'm having a fantastic time with Reus at the moment.  I had a good time with Gnomoria as well.

[Bluerobin]

Caesar 2 and 3 are some of my all-time favorites for city-management, I like the Black and White games for god games, although Reus is fun too, and at this point Rogue Legacy is my favorite roguelike. I've been back to Dwarf Fortress recently too, actually, although I play it pretty much exclusively in fort mode.

Dungeon Keeper 1 + 2, Castles 2, Theme Hospital.

I loved Evil Genius. Still do. Same with Dungeon Keeper.

I guess digging bases is my thing.

I once got absurdly addicted to the old game Stronghold. Even today, it's worth checking out if you can get past the interface.

[Bouchart]

Populous, Populous 2, PowerMonger.

[SharpKris]

Adom, DDA, DF -- roguelikes
DK2, B&W 2, DF -- god games?

[joey4track]

Yeah playing populous as a kid made me feel weird inside.

... I could never figure out what the blazes I was doing. Tried... probably four, five times now, spread out over several years. Despite that, flailing around and failing horribly was kinda' great.

Tropico 4

[Mech#4]

Caesar 3, Pharaoh and Zeus (including expansions) are all pretty good games. They get easier as you go along the series, partly because there's better pathing and control over walkers.

From what I've played of them, Pharaoh gave me a nice balance between difficulty and ease of control, it's also fun trying to balance a city while having to devote large amounts of labour to constructing huge monuments.

I'd like to play Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom but that's not been released on GOG yet.

Stronghold's another good game series. It can be quite difficult and winning by the slimmest of margins in some levels, but the ability to custom build a castle from the ground up and try things like funnelling enemy troops into tar pit traps is great fun.

Sim City 4 is probably the best of the Sim City games. The cities you build interact with each other and you can devote them to different production methods (So, one focused on manufacturing with low cost apartments, and another where all the rich sims live with towering skyscrapers).

The Settlers series is said to be quite good as well, heavy on the resource management. I've only played the forth though, which is kind of the dark horse of the series.

If you want pure difficulty, even though it's more of a strategy game, Constructor has elements of management when it comes to pleasing your rent payers. No tutorial and with multiple things to do at once makes it a bit "what the heck is going on?!"

Tropico 4

Actually,  I found Tropico 3 to be much better. Tropico 4's mission system made it way to easy.

I mean, they give you a mission to do something you were going to do anyway, give you enough money to do it, then pay you when you complete it. *

*And often, completing the mission itself is lucrative too(Export X goods,...)

Afterlife anyone?  I mean, you build and run heaven and hell at the same time!
