    i would only recommend buying this on sale as it's really not worth $22 and it's very clearly unfinished. but i really do enjoy the building, it's very easy to expand your village and houses. the micromanagement aspect takes a little getting used to but it's not super complicated. pretty fun for a few hours at a time

    I really like this game! Had some learning runs, learned the mechanics more, added some mods, had a blast. so much, I uninstalled the mods and did my first steam game achievement run! Well worthy the time and enjoyment to moneys spent ratio!

    Personally, I think it's a great game. I've heard the colonsist cap is around 11-13, which is a TINY bit disappointing, however it's made up for by ALL the other fun parts of the game! Building, livestock, researching, farming... just, etc. Has its flaws but DEFINITELY worth it if you like games like the Sims!

    BEST GAME EVER. Don’t listen to the red reviews. These people can’t handle micromanagement. This isn’t a peasant game, it’s a KINGDOM game. You start from nothing and build your empire step by step. If these reviewers got isekai’d, they wouldn’t be kings… they’d be the NPC asking for bread in the village square.

    "Micromanager's Fortune" - This is a good game with a few flaws that really do the game bad. They'd be so easily fixed as well. Now this game is brutal to start, you really don't have your hand held and I like it. While there's no story generator like in RimWorld but you'll get stories, oh yes you will. You will lose people. You will WANT to lose people, especially children who get all the bad luck. Other people you will keep alive out of sheer respect and have them guzzling dodgy potions forever. This game is EXTREME micromanagement, especially with children around as you want to give them the absolute best upbringing you can. For example I finally had a child born, she had bad conversations, had bad jokes and was getting bad traits building. Then she got the flu. This was my first kid in the colony and I didn't know what to do. It made her miserable, it put her in pain. I didn't have medication and couldn't afford it. I had no doctor. I let her die. When someone dies? EVERYONE in the colony becomes sad for a while. This sounds small, but it's going to really throw spanners in the works later, take right now for example. I have 5 kids in the colony all born around the same time. If anyone dies now they are all going to be problem villagers. They will all also die around the same time, which is going to be awful to deal with. You'll deal with tribes, traders, and pirates. It's in your interest to balance your politics in this game, do not make enemies of everyone. If they all come at once you're done for. I've never actually seen my colony ruined and always keep a couple of tribes on side as well as the trader and pirates. They will also DEFEND you as well if you're in good enough standing which is extremely handy. Some tribes will just hate you.
