✦ AI summary
Players praise this as an engaging city builder with satisfying progression, beautiful graphics, and successful tweaks to the Anno formula like individual building upgrades and better decoration mechanics. Common complaints include some balancing quirks (faith points becoming less relevant late-game, odd pricing relationships), occasional bugs that require workarounds, limited map sizes for some players, and mechanics like miracles and the god system being initially confusing or under-explained.
Good beautiful peacefull Game with great ideas, creative and fun,1 found this helpful
Very fun and relaxing game
great city builder, lots of resources to uncover and things to do with them that keep them relevant through the whole game.
A very cool concept for a video game and quite unique, however it is still going to need a whole lot of work put it, that said, it has a lot of potential and I strongly support what the creators are trying to do...
I find this to be a nice change of pace from Anno and Manor Lords. While it doesn't have the combat like either of them, it's a great city builder and management sim.
It's a good game with the potential for being a really good game. Feels like a very heavily modded Anno 1800 in the best way possible. At 20 euro you're definitely getting your money's worth. My only real complaint is that performance feels very sluggish. Some suggestions for the devs: 1. Seasons are tedious and add nothing of substance. Having the option to turn them off would be nice. 2. Trading in it's current iteration is uninteresting in the beginning and steadily becomes frustrating as you gain more population. Having to set new trading routes every 5 minutes because some trader is out of spices is annoying. The system can be greatly improved by removing quantity limits and balancing it so that early and pop heavy resources such as rice and simple clothes make more sense to be produced manually in the beginning and set to auto-purchase in the late game as to free up pop for higher tiers. 3. Players should be able to produce coal from wood. 4. Players should be able to place walls diagonally and should not be able to place them so far into the mountains (though being able to place them outside natural building areas in very nice) 5. Base cart amount per warehouse should…
