Thule

Assumptions: Solo developer or siimilar Thule is an old school over map strategy game with a combat system similar to Dominions and Elysium. In a similar vein to Elysium, it's not as complicated overland as Civilization but gives a little more complexity in the combat space. If you're a veteran in this space, what you need to know is: - It's more pick up and play than the Civilization series. You don't forget what you're doing between save games. - It's not quite to the same polish level as Elysium and Dominions in game logic. - It's more forgiving than Elysium, less random, with a smaller scope. Thule does exactly what it says on the tin. Every faction has a gimmick or two on the strategic layer with various buildings that reward the player for their actions. There are various units, and overland creatures and armies have vulnerabilities that can be exploited. There is an equipment system and you can deploy equipment to almost anything or anyone you please. The autobattle section works best when you deploy your own units. The default deployments will have you losing units regularly. Especially since you want to level those units up. The biggest downside to Thule is that…

It harkens back to the early Conquest of Elysium games before they had all the complex interactions between races and gods etc etc. A nice, fun, 4x type of game. Also any bugs I've come across have been fixed promptly.

An interesting take on 4x strategy genre. Build up towns. Hire units. Get some artifacts for your commanders. Go fight others. I would rate this game at 8.5/10 - 9/10 ~~My only issue has been fixed, thanks to the developer for a quick patch~~

It's a bit early in my review so I'll probably update it later but you should read my review about a game called Leylines it is similar to this game. Thule is a deep fantasy 4x war game which uses a Auto battler which I really am not a big fan of however it reminds me of Leylines and Warlords IV Heroes of Etheria which uses a different kind of auto battler which brought me to like this game. Here is what makes this game interesting to me and likely others that like 4x Fantasy war games. It is a deep game where it appears all your units and leaders have no level restrictions which I love. The game seems to have 3 realms to explore which I have not done yet, but always great to have more maps to explore and fight for. Every unit and your leaders can equip a lot of different kinds of items to make them better which is a big reason I actually like this game. Typically in some games only the leader can equip items and not your army. I can see in this game it is important to actually try to keep your units especially stronger ones alive so they can get tougher. As defeat does hurt your economy as you micro manage your town and armies. The music in the game isn't to bad. So in …

I want to like it but I can't, not for this price.

Janky you can't move troops freely between your hero and base. i hired a bunch of units and could not put them with my hero. Jank.
