Terribly disappointing
I was strongly inclined to love this game - that's why I bought it. However there is almost no support for it or useful user guides or anything else. The road system is entirely bonkers. I can't build a straight road to save my life, and I didn't buy a game like this so I could spend hours clicking around trying to get roads where I need them. Place a building, try to connect it with a road to the network - pretty soon you have the weirdest loopiest worst possible roads ever. Or you spend hours trying to find better ways to place them. If I wanted Road Builder 1982 I'd go looking for that. I don't know, maybe the road system is better in the "Gold Edition". They sure look straighter in pictures I've seen. But the whole road thing is just completely broken and it makes me rage quit every time I try to play. I want to BUILD, not try to make sense of the stupid road system. I have never been able to find any kind of strategy guide to help with that at all. Thus I have removed all settlers titles from my wish list. This was supposed to be the "best" title but it is unplayable for anyone who doesn't want to nanomanage the roads.
Is this helpful to you?
