April 2025
TLDR: MMO CIV game. In details: Genre: persistent MMO management game. Running in the background. Mechanics: Simulating economy and sociology. Deeply so. You do not have to study its deep mechanics to optimise and enjoy the game. But if you do, you can learn A LOT of real world mechanics. Gameplay: most of the fiddly things can be automated; If you withstand the urge to micromanage. With developing tech, you can automate and improve even more mechanics. For instance: you start simply. Your porcos produce and you receive the whole production. You build and feed for them. But can stockpile no money and your army is limited. Then you develop tech to tax them. But they own their own produce. Paying you taxes allows you to stockpile money and support huge armies. Develop tech further to speculate with the prices at which you buy and sell from your porcos; allowing you to put more effort to receive even bigger profit. Thats just one mechanic. Then there is trading among players; raiding NPCs; specialising production among teammates; waging war in alliance vs alliance; and more. Feeling: managing a deep, detailed and realistic simulation can be daunting. And educational. The games are 2 months long but you can enter mid game. Or play as long as you like. The official goal is to be in the biggest alliance at the end of the game. While most of your time is spent tweaking your economy, you get the pleasure of socialising, trading, plotting, even subduing and managing other players. Developing tech allows you to scale up these interactions. Freeing up time from micromanaging, forcing you to instead focus on discussing bigger plans with bigger groups of people. Development: regularly making updates. Always keeping focus on keeping it bug free. Occasionaly adding more features, while following the core feeling.

Hands down the most in depth and complicated game I've ever played. Very under appreciated and over looked. Should actually have a free week to find some players with a price drop. But, in saying that fantastic time killer.

Good, and with nice graphics. You can't thrill yourselves on it, yet it is neat enough. And yes, the dev could give the game a few more passes, a bit more time before calling quits. (It's not impossible to play right now, mind you - it just needs a few tweaks here and there.)

This game is ahead of its time, hopefully the Project New Dawn works out. Looking forward for future updates, thanks DEV.

Crashes sometimes but from my understanding the current legacy game is getting a major overhaul. Very enjoyable nonetheless and works relatively well on Linux via Proton.
