relaxing settlement game -not bad at all
I cannot understand the very negative reviews this game receives. The game itself is a solid building game with focus on transport, somewhat a mix of Wiggles/Diggles and The Settlers 2, with some new ideas, too. There is no proper tutorial, but the game mechanics are not too hard. Regarding some issues/reviews: - to move your soldiers you have to build an Army Post, then move that building. - dwellings are only used by the vikings that work in range. But they also enjoy to sleep outside. - the colors marking good/bad spots on the ground are not based on resource, but obviously on building costs! - I did not have any game breaking bugs, and just one minor bug (fisherman not catching anything) in several hours of gameplay Overall this game does many things right. Your folk do not annoy you all the time, for example. There often is enough food growing at bushes for the early game. They pick up tools and work, where there is a need. There are no skills your Vikings gain, so there is no micromanaging them. You can assign carriers to buildings to improve their productivity or building speed, which is neat. The economy is quite complex and intertwined, compared to The Settlers 2. Having just finished S2:DNG Vikings Addon I have to say this game also offers more gameplay variety. Where in S2 you search for gold and then bbq the enemy in Valhalla Hills you can also zerg the portal, try to improve weapons supply, build outposts with courier networks and so on. There are different types of enemies, that sometimes require some swift action. But overall this is a very relaxing game and controls not designed for fast paced action. The random maps add variety, too. This game would be much more popular with a good campaign, but the unlocks system isn't bad. Compared to Wiggles it lacks heart quite badly, your Vikings do not grow on you. The camera position is somewhere between fancy and annoying, especially when the portal is behind a mountain top. Not perfect, but pretty good!
