I've been away from gaming for a long time, but I think maybe it's like what Hobbes said about ice cream: you don't know you don't like ice cream until you've tried every kind.

What ancient city builders OR civilization sims would you recommend? Because I hate cars and love history in equal measure.

Running on Linux Mint with Steam installed.

Edit: Nebuchadnezzar is the winner because it's a modern version of the older games y'all are recommending and because it's exactly those babylonian cities I was hankering for.

Thanks! I added a bunch of stuff to my wishlist.

Banished always gets a recommendation from me. It's a labor of love from a solo dev and it's my comfort game just about every time I'm sick. Dawn of Man was fun for a while, and Nebuchadnezzar is a modern love letter to the old Caesar/Pharaoh generation of games. Speaking of, I've loved and played Caesar 3 for decades, and it's not even $4 right now so you should 100% grab that if you have even the slightest interest in the genre.
