searching for a old city building game
 

I have been craving to play a city building game recently and I remember playing a great one a years ago but I cant seem to remember the name.

All i remember is that you build a village. Once click to make a house a bunch of workers would walk to that location and start sawing wood and you could see the house being built. In the game you could zoom in to see things close to ground level. I also think the game informed you if people in the village had a child or something. Ring any bells for anyone?

The Settlers maybe http://hol.abime.net/1878

Genesia perhaps (although from your post I would guess the game was not turn-based?):

And if not an Amiga game maybe one game from the Anno series:

Sounds 100% settlers from that description

There was no Zoom feature in Amiga "Settlers" I'm afraid. Sounds more like "Powermonger" to me...

Foundation?
