Anyone playing this?

It's a new indie city builder game set in a medieval time. It just came out and some ppl say it's quite hardcore. I myself had to start a new game a few times (like 10) till I got things running without loosing half my population in 1 min.

You can get it on Steam for $15 USD. Tho it's SP only for the moment.
I don't have it on steam, will buy it when I can afford it. :(

Also this beautiful game it's the creation of ONE guy and it works flawlessly.
Turn Vsync ON because it has no FPS limiter, and it may cause your monitor or PC to overheat.

Yeah, Luke (the creator) said he is gonna give tools for free modding.

ShadowRado knows his shet.


Users (including myself) are discussing a lot the idea of a combat system, which I think it's a great idea, but as an option ofc, since a lot of people want to pacifically build their city.

Its a fun game, before you figure out the right build-orders it approaches dwarf fortress levels of fun

but when you have a stable village with 100+ people up and running its hard to loose, unless you do some thing stupid.
Like accepting hundreds of nomads without the food production to feed them ;)

Or if you get unlucky with an disaster, my first village went from 125 people and 15k+ food to 14 people and no food with one tornado :lol:

Hopping mods brings in a bit more complex supply system.

Beginner tip:
Spoiler: show
Selling firewood is OP. Get a couple of foresters and gatherers and you are set.
