I've been a fan of the Settlers series since Settlers 1 on my trusty Amiga 600, and this weekend I just finished Settlers IV on PC.
I like the idea of building up from a tiny settlement to become a monster city with a powerful army against the odds.
I especially love watching all the little characters go about their business and gathering resources and the micro-management this gives.
Any other games which are similar? (and don't say Settlers V, that's already on my purchase list

)
