Really good game but I HIGHLY recommend you to play with the mod Fajeth megamodpack who fix A LOT of bugs, and improves consequently the vanilla game with for exemple a better management when you let AI manage your buildings, improvement with the banker gameplay etc etc

Might actually be the greatest game ever, especially with the reforged mod that is still very actively developed and troubleshooted in real time by the devs.

Sure, it is an obtuse, buggy mess, but there is nothing out there that quite matches the unique game play this ancient game offers. This is an RTS-dating simulator-dynasty creating-survival, business management and building game/sim.

amazing and addictive game. It requires some time to get use to and the beggining may be a bit boring as you dont have much to do. But later it is simply great. It is also very unique expirience. Nothing like it
