About Nomads of Driftland
The promise to restore civilization to its former shape and return to the times of splendor overcame sadness. It filled the hearts of Driftland's inhabitants with new hope and energy. Determination for action diverted attention from the numerous conflicts between quarrelsome mage-rulers and various injuries sustained by those who did not give in to their will.
Outlaw rebels, by the mage-rulers called Nomads, are exterminated and treated as barbarians. They believe that the new order is an attempt to restore balance in shape that has once destroyed the planet.
Now, the Nomads must fight to defend their values and survive.
Nomads of Driftland is an RTS game initially created as an add-on to Driftland: The Magic Revival. Since it is significantly different from the base game, we decided to release it as a standalone expansion and make it available for free.
Base game - Driftland: The Magic Revival is a unique fusion of RTS, 4X strategy, and Sim genres in a fantasy world made up of the shattered planet. The player takes on the role of a powerful mage-ruler capable of moving and reshaping parts of the planet. Both game mechanics and history are based on an innovative concept of dynamic topography and issuing orders to individuals with free will.
Nomads do not have a ruler and do not carry out orders like other races in the base game. Units are managed directly, like in classic RTS games. New unit types/classes affect strategy on the battlefield.

Incredibly basic RTS with very little strategy other than survive the first several minutes and then just watch the clock tick down while your defences hold. Couldn't play more than a few missions...for a free game, okay, I guess.1 found this helpful
[h1]Let’s Play the Waiting Game[/h1] - Do you want a VERY stripped down RTS game? - Do you know how to snowball? - Or do you like waiting? Then prepare to wait a long time to do just about anything if you can’t keep the ball rolling. This game is about getting momentum going so you can get through each mission because if you lose it, you lose it hard. This is an RTS game where you only need to do one thing, make money as fast as possible. [u]Where It Shines[/u] This game is about islands. You start on your own little island with just your camp. Islands can have different biomes and each biome dictates what camp can be there. Settlements in your “kingdom” consist of just a single camp per island that allow you recruit the units associated with that type of camp. Camp design varies by faction and depends on the biome it’s built in. There are four factions, typical medieval humans, forces of Sauron-inspired dark elves, machine obsessed dwarves, and [spoiler] native American-style wild elves.[/spoiler] The game has a variety of small details. From building construction to various idle animations, there’s usually something to watch. Unit may be seen training on dummies, drinking…
Игра 'Nomads of Driftland' предлагает уникальную стратегическую перспективу, где вы управляете кочующим народом, восстанавливающим разрушенный мир Дрифтлэнда. Оригинальный геймплей с плавающими островами и необходимостью их объединения — это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре 4X стратегий. Плюсы: * Инновационная механика соединения островов создает интересные стратегические возможности для расширения и защиты. * Разнообразие рас и уникальные способности кочевников придают игре высокую реиграбельность. * Приятный визуальный стиль и атмосферное звуковое сопровождение погружают в мир. Минусы: * Иногда бывает сложно ориентироваться на карте из-за большого количества перемещающихся объектов. * Кривая обучения может быть крутой для новичков жанра. Игра не очень дружелюбная к новым игрокам. * Некоторая монотонность игрового процесса ближе к середине и концу игры. В целом, 'Nomads of Driftland' — интересная и оригинальная игра, которая, несмотря на некоторые шероховатости, может затянуть на долгие часы любителей стратегий, стремящихся к новым ощущениям. Рекомендую попробовать, особенно если вы устали от традиционных 4X.

Interesting concept, and quite fun to play.
So overall I would recommend this game, simply because it is free. All you have to do, is capture islands, or kill all the enemies. In the end I got bored pretty quickly. But the game is well balanced in my opinion, the mission difficulty is fine and there are loads of workshop maps to play. But it is very repetitive and I probably won't play again.
