Description
Cultures 3
The Vikings are back!

Loki, known from the Nordic sagas as a versatile god of lies and weaver of many intrigues against his divine "colleagues", has been banned from Asgard by Odin as a punishment for the trouble caused by the Midgard serpent. Now Loki is plotting revenge and searching for a possibility to sneak back into Asgard and pay Odin back. Out of spite, he abuses our four human heroes--Sigurd, the Frank, Hatschi, the brave Saracen, Bjami, and Crya--with his intrigues and traps. Embark on adventures and quests to help your allies wrest free from Loki's insidious machinations, whether it's a plague of serpents or the demon wolf Fenris dropping by for a rather unexpected visit. Ensure the health and safety of your people as you start with but a humble town and work your way up to a large city. Cultures 3 offers the best combination of strategy and adventure!

Cultures 4
Cultures 4 takes place some years after the end of Cultures 3. The renowned hero Bjarni and his friends, retired after their last adventure and enjoyed their day-to-day lives. This peace was not meant to last as one day the powers of darkness and evil slowly began spreading all over the world. The greatest heroes of the past were summoned. The people cried out to our friend Bjarni, who immediately set out to save mankind from the clutches of doom and misfortune once again. The destiny of Bjarni’s people, and with them the destiny of all humanity, now lies in your hands. You must solve the mystery surrounding the 8th Wonder of the World with your heroes and banish evil from the Earth!
  • Three difficulty levels that make the game fun for anyone from strategy novices to battle hardened veterans.
  • Explore unknown territories and establish trade routes with other tribes.
  • Watch as your inexperienced fighters grow into fearless heroes of great renown.
  • Solve a number of challenging quests and adventures and meet old friends and enemies.

Could've been better

In some sense, I want to like these games, and came back to them every few years only to figure out why I never really bothered to finish it before. The building progression is nice, and it doesn't escalate to the point I feel completely detached from my city as is often the case with many modern city builders. The game becomes repetetive fast and kind of tedious, however, logistics in this game are trash, and units constantly get stuck on anything not knowing what to do. Overall, a mixed bag. I also wish you could play as the other factions besides the Vikings, seeing that they're about halfway complete. Bit of a missed oportunity, as city builders with different factions are oddly rare. Also, weird that women can't work, it feels really odd to manage a town of about fifty homeless men and fewer than twenty women whose only job is birthing new soldiers.

As always, enjoy Cultures.

Glad I am getting a chance to play 3 & 4 of this series, as I was a huge fan of Cultures 1&2. However, since playing, there seems to be a glitch in Northland, Fog of Horrors Free Game...cannot get my ships to trade mead for Gold. It just won't work. :{ Second game I have found glitches on now.

Missing the Linux version of Northland

I expected to also find the Linux download of Northland, but it seems this is not included. Besides this, it is a fun game that certainly deserves your attention.
