I really do like this sort of game. The world setting, the music, aesthetics are all great. Building your town outweards, managing resources, keeping up with the firewood in winter etc. The one thing that really irritates me is the research tree - where everything is lumped into one continuous mess. It's hard to find what I need to unlock when there's five other random and unrelated things I have to research first. It really would have benefited by having two or three sections for the research tree, instead of one massive combined mess. It makes me mad thinking about it. Otherwise it's a fun game.
It's pretty fun. I agree with some of the reviewers where the tasks the king sends you are pretty pointless. You just ignore them till you have whatever they need and send it to them. In other games the task completion opened up things like different animals or trade routes. After a little bit I just had a bunch of harbors where I would sell tons of things and every now and then buy something I wasn't making fast enough. It went from kinda hard to repetitive pretty fast. It would be a good addition of the interaction with the faction/king actually meant something. Or was part of the actual play.
PATRON. It's not a very balanced game. - The tech tree looks interesting but you're able to research items far ahead of the time when you can use them but you have nothing else to research in the meantime and nothing to do with all your money. - It sometimes takes multiples of a type of building just to service very basic needs of a small population in the beginning but the main quest line you have to follow demands products, goods and targets that you won't be able to meet for quite some time, they are too advanced for your town's progress. - You cannot control your population growth. Once residents hit a certain age they are homeless until you build a home for them instead of staying in their original home. - There is no easy way to find a certain type of building that you have built and where it's located which wastes a lot of time clicking on buildings one at a time until you find what you're looking for. - Why not include more goods on the game status window when your mouse hovers over certain icons such as; adding quartz when you hover over the stone icon andb displaying the various types of food when hovering over the food icon. This would be much more efficient and easier than having to bring up the stock menu which is very large and then trying to scroll to find what you're looking for. - Graphics are nice but very demanding on the hardware, my gaming laptop fans run constantly when I play. - Decent buy if it's on sale but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it.
