Those two are pretty much it, if you intend to keep an element of warfare it. Maybe the Stronghold series.
You can go further into the resource management (but removing or reducing the fighting) in games like Ceasar IV, Patrician 3, Port Royale 2, Railroad Tycoon 3, The Guild, and a few others.
Conversely, you may want to try something like Europa Universalis 3. Probably deeper than Anno/Settlers, though not as heavy on resource management.
i could not get into port royale 2 no matter how much i read and how many times i kept going back to it its so difficult even on easy setting to do simple stuff like trading guess its not so simple but I think im gonna try Europa Universalis 3 how does it differ to Port Royale 2 and out of Europa Universalis 3 PR2 and Anno 1701 which is the best?
What... O_O Universalis 3 is like playing Hearts of Iron 2... its just Strategy Port Royale 2 is good BUT the user - interface is a LITTLE to hard... the origional port royale is better... isch The Anno Series is the closest you will get, that gives a DEEP scratch on that resource - micro - management thingy, ITCH. That everyone has in this genre... The newest Anno game Anno 2070, now thats going to be an interesting play ^_^
im also going to recommend the stronghold series. its not brilliant on the combat side but theres a fair bit to the management side of things. there is basically supply chain management and then managing population health and so on. could be up your alley TC.
In reply to Stronghold series, the Settlers have tried to match it with Settlers Heritage of Kings, and I'v also herd they'v made a 3D Settlers finally. with the Settlers 7 ^_^ Oh ye, and the might and magic genre, get your hands on Diablo 3 ^_^
Beware, these are the most complex strategy games ever made. They aren't RTSs, but they are real time. They aren't 4x games either. These are Grand Stratagy games and I think it's what you want.
Europa Universalis 3 is what you want to start with. Hearts of Iron 3 is not for the weak hearted. I can't even get into that game thanks to its amazing complexity.
