    Gotta love how the guy just comes in and takes your table. Like, "Yeah, you've been taking our stuff from our houses for years! Not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot, huh!? Look at me. I'm the adventurer now."

      ​@@foreignuser_if you are annoyed by challenges, perhaps you should pick a different hobby like stealing candy from babies or.. actually I'm struggling to think of anything that has zero challenges. Maybe Russian roulette? That's a pretty simple game, and I don't think you'll be annoyed by the challenges posed.

It has had massive game breaking bugs for over a year that never got fixed. You can lose your safe deep in a run for no reason, or they die because they simply refuse to eat etc. There's a crazy amount of bugs that make it quite unplayable in a fun way.

    A barber was often a surgeon, occasionally a dentist, and not necessarily considered a "healer". Monks and priests of Europe were told by the pope that they could no longer do ANY harm as they were the surgeons of that time. Doctors around that time didn't do the messy stuff because they were more focused on the academic side and considered surgery barbaric and not medicine. Barbers were then the de facto surgeons because the monks/priests that were cloistered in their monasteries doing these surgeries often needed tonsure haircuts cuts and other religion-required hair trimming. Since the barbers were there, they would often assist with the surgeries. Once the monks stopped performing surgery, barbers began doing them for everyone. The barbers weren't exactly good nor were they safe, but at times they were necessary. Eventually, academic doctors came around to surgery and barbers stopped being allowed to perform it because of how bad they were and how deadly it often was to fall under the barbers knife. Sorry, just some weird trivia that came into my mind when you made that sign for that guy.

  • @johnnysmith5923
    @johnnysmith5923 7 місяців тому +2

    I refunded this one due to lack of QoL. UI is a little cumbersome, and minor issues tend to add up overtime.
    Early game special orders come in really fast, so you need some gold stocked up to buy special items needed. A chest is always behind your merchant stall by default, which is always furthest from your mines/warehouses. Commands to cook food don't get followed up with eating, meaning you need at least 2 clicks every time your dudes want to eat a meal. Meals can be left on tables for no benefit, they'll rot if you leave them there too long. Faction maladies can be pretty bad, and the tutorial doesn't prepare you for them. Most first runs are doomed due to a lack of micromanagement of that system, eg letting France win would have made Stone leave, which screws over your playthrough extremely hard.

I kinda like games like this when they have good missions that affect the future and dialogue that's both simple but complex.

    I really, really want a good blacksmithing game. But unfortunately, everyone who attempts it tries to combine it with something else. Either you have to dungeon delve for your own supplies, or like this you have to manage a colony or something. I just want a game where you smith, and the game does it well.
    there was a 3ds game, i think, that was *japan only* sadly, i can't remember what its called, but it was along those lines. you'd tap the mold to hammer and then you could refine it and all that. just blacksmithing, nothing superfluous

    I come from that culture of Appalachian moonshiners myself. NC and VA. Used to drink White lightning and sweet Southern ice tea, Cheerwine, Pepsi or Mountain Dew. Flavored is okay but none of those cream based flavors.. Those sippin creams are weak. Those are for women. I want something that puts hair on your chest, and your face in the dirt.. You have to know your limit. But now I have to order it if I want some because I live in Eastern Europe now.. So I have to buy that commercial junk that's made for the masses. It's not bad, it's just not the same as moonshine made in the woods on a remote mountain by people that have had the knowledge passed down in their family for generations.. That's the good stuff.

    Had relative fun through to the end of the game, with those complaints just being annoyances.... and then the game just got stuck on the final smithing tournament. It wouldn't progress. Had nothing to do in the tournament after 10 minutes at 4x speed.
