Pretty good. The Rimworld aesthetic is misleading as it's not at all like that game really. You control a noble family. Family members are a valuable resource, as only nobles can lead and manage things. Compared to Rimworld, you control fewer pawns and are more focused on micro-managing their activities than setting job priorities and managing more indirectly. As well, the setting is a sort of Dark Ages in a fictional world, one where the old empire has fallen and much 'civilization' has been lost. Research involves characters learning knowledge from books. Books you typically purchase. Collecting, preserving and passing down knowledge takes the place of picking a research topic and waiting a certain amount of time and then having that research forever. 7/10 but optimistic about the game's future. It isn't Rimworld, and it's different enough to stand on its own despite the cosmetic similarities.

Good game. I just find wierd the trading between towns. For example you sell 8 axes to neighbour for 840 gold, but the lord doesn't has money and he doesn't even get the axes from the trade. The items you sell are deleted and the system generate you money out of thin air. I Know it's made this way for the game purposes, but it just feels wierd.

80% of the negative feedback on this game were about a limit to the number of lord titles you had. Since then, the developers have listened to the community and increased this cap with some additional balancing changes. This is what early access truly means. A consistent effort to improve the game lead by developers who can comprehend constructive criticism by a community that cares. Support the devs who listen!

- BEFORE YOU BUY READ THIS - I've played many strategy games for more then 20 000 hours ( including Rimworld ) and owned them all almost. This game is "not" like rimworld which is why everyone are "shocked" and panicked for no reason. Here's my thoughts so far after spending 5 hours in this game. 1- You control LORDS NPC that are controlling the population. Population migrates ( get more villager ) if LORDS are happy. 2- LORDS are happy if you "micro-manage" how they interact with each other. ( Lords interact with other Lords. Not the population ). 3- If LORDS are happy, they reproduce and make babies. ( You have to socialize to make them attracted to each other so they can have "intercourse". hum. If you know what I mean ) 4- Lords gain "knowledge" on how to build new buildings ( Ex: Mines, Brewery ) or combat as they learn from reading books. 5- Knowledge acquire can be "transferred" to OTHER LORDS if you "educate" them. You can also transfer your KNOWLEDGE by making babies. Yes, your KIDS will keep all your knowledge. SO, you have a time frame to get married and make babies before you die OTHERWISE, you lose ALL your knowledge. 6- You have PLENTY of time to get married so do NOT PANIC over that. 7- Your EMPLOYEE ( villagers, prisoners, etc ) will NOT WORK only you assign a LORD to tell them what to do every "now and then". 8- While your Lords are not instructing them, they do other things. So it's "ping pong" mechanic. They go.. they come back, they go.. they come back. Get it? 9- Lords have TRAITS and perks. Chose carefully their perks when you pick them at start. Villagers has NO TRAITS. 10- Combat is FUN if you get a good army but it's gonna take time. You can't build the CHINA WALL in 1 day can ya? Exactly. CHALLENGE IS, you have to make sure your LORDS are available to instruct your villager ( takes few seconds ) then they can go back to whatever they were doing ( usually reading books ) or whatever you want them to other as long as it's beneficial to their hapiness. IN BETWEEN - you have to manage your Lords to do other things like EAT, PRAY, COMBAT bandit, hunting ( to get happiness buffs , diplomacy with other village, etc ) CONCLUSION: This is game is NOT HARD. Just complex. It's not like RIMWORLD. You don't control ALL your NPC, only the LORDS. That's why people all panic or say it's hard. NO IT'S NOT. I got 100% Happiness buff for almost everyone "because" I micro-manage each Lords PROPERLY. You cannot play this game FAST SPEED. It's not like Rimworld. you need to check on each Lord individually almost every seconds to make sure they are satisfied. If you don't like complexity ( which is what strategy is pretty much all about ) , then don't buy this game. If you like the challenge and are "not afraid" to learn a new mechanism in automation, this might be for you. I play rimworld for a long time ( Near 1000 hours ). This game has it's own flavor and I like it. Trust me, it's fun once you get the hang of it.
