    I bought this tonight on PS4 and didn't stop playing for 5 hours. It's now midnight and I don't want to stop playing but gotta get up for work at 6am. Haven't had a fun game like this in a while really reminds me of command and conquer and that was one of my favorites. Can't believe it's made by such a small team it's an amazing dicking game for that.

    I wish they would have included more Prehistoric creatures in the beginning. Megatherium, Paraceratherium, glyptodon & more creatures during the Paleolithic era. Also, a longer time to be spent in Paleolithic era. Cool Review.

    • @willietorben560
      @willietorben560 2 місяці тому

      "Megatherium, Paraceratherium, glyptodon" - that would be America, meaning you can't have your animals AND a post-Chalcolithic tech tree. This game is slow-moving and educational, not what-if. But an add-on or conversion could make sense (think establishing a Terra Preta-based Amazonian civilization).

    Had this game a week and love it. Number one, you have to survive. I’ve ran low on food during the winter and almost starved. Had 60% of my sheep catch an infection, donkey got struck by lightning and even lost a villager or two. Always find myself trying to fine tune the village production and just when you think you have it, BAM! You lose crops to disease, you have to kill animals and your huts go unrepaired cause you have no straw. Then the raiders feel like like dropping by. Kinda like life. 😊

    I noticed that it is extremely hard to maintain food and low workload. To not be completely screwed you have to move at a really really slow pace, which could be a problem when playing hard mode. The developers need to fix how difficult it is to maintain food and the ai’s are extremely dumb and it’s frustrating. I would love to see a multiplayer mode where its a massive map and you can fight, conquer, or team up with other players civilizations. I would love more flat lands too.

      I've been trying to beat the Northland's on Hardcore. Managing food and workload is fine but keeping up on tech with the raiders is the tough part. Having a population of 75 and then 45 raiders come with far superior weapons. Defenses are everything are hardcore mode, walls, towers and platforms are a must and priority.

    This game is a definite must have if it freezes on the Xbox just click in and out of the menu or something and it should work in a second or two very stable otherwise I suggest playing the river in the center of the map and going left until the big flat spot beside the mountain near the three streams that join together ! Lots of material and food easily accessible !

    I played for the first time yesterday afternoon and WAY later into the next morning that I should have.
    Its a pity they stopped development on this game. There was a lot more they could have added. (Im only up to bronze age, so could come later?) Stone buildings, berry farming, herbs, herbalists\doctors, roads.
    Underground mining never seemed to show anyone in the mine... but there were three slots for men which I never once saw populated, despite workload going down to the 30% mark.
    Assigning groups of people to a hunting party and they kill \ capture as many creatures as they can while they are out... rather than the current kill one animal and head back despite a small herd of animals being marked as hunted run right past.
    Otherwise a fun game that I'll be playing every now and again.

      @brettmiller2259 9 місяців тому

      I've played plenty of Dawn of Man and Banished, love them both. Banished to me was a lot easier, just proper resource management without much outside factors to throw a wrench in your flow. DoM has a lot more rogue elements with the progression through eras and raider attacks. Normal mode is pretty easy but playing on hardcore will give you a real challenge.

Planted crops in two locations and only one grows or it grows if my camera is in the area. Animals vanish. You will always lose playing this game it has some bugs that needs fixed. Sad.

      That would be, "aren't quite". "Quiet" is the word that means the opposite of, "loud". And then you have the word. "quit", which is what you do when you permanently leave your job. Some people seem to struggle with words like, "Quite, Quiet, Quit". And, "Their, There, They're".
