Oh yeah, there's also the Nomads in Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, who can relocate their cities.

Carradice: Interesting. Another game for you: in Civilization: Beyond Earth there is a a naval faction that can relocate their sea cities.
Ah, that's right, forgot that one. Though all aquatic cities are mobile, the NSA faction gets a huge discount.

TentacleMayor: By that I mean the option to just pack up and move your assets to other locations, not being bound to where you started. It has to just be an option, not the primary playstyle as there are plenty of games with no base-building. Examples I know of include:

- Imperator: Rome, migratory tribes can move the entire population out of a territory as long as it's 20 pops or less, and resettle it elsewhere as tribesmen. Even occupied hostile territory.

- Endless Space, iirc one or two of the factions can relocate everything out of a planet, including buildings.

- Thea 2, you never have to actually use your Seed to construct a village and in fact it has other uses.

- Europa Universalis 4, north American tribes can migrate regularly until they gain a second province.
How about Thea:the Awakening?

entroumi: I think Oriental Empires had that sort of feature introduced in DLC, but since I don't have DLCs for that game, I can't say first-hand.
Can anyone weigh in on this? Supposedly you can play as a tribe in that game, but do they really get special mechanics or is it like ''their cities look like tents rather than buildings''?

There is achievement called "Rover" - "Move the location of a horde settlement.".

This is entirely possible in Rimworld (its even mentioned as a tip during loading that if everything goes on, you can pack a caravan and escape - or try to).
On the world map if you click on your settlement an "abandon" option should be visible.

Edit: I might actually try this as a style next time i play
Edit 2: Actually, this sort of works for Kenshi as well - though you cannot deconstruct / disown buildings as I remember in the vanilla game.

Yeah, it looks like you're right and I've seen mention of cities in the Genghis DLC being able to migrate.

If you do, please let me know how viable it is. Game looks intersesting.
