Ok, I am writing this review after 4 years after the game was supposed to be 'fully released'. Paid 16 Euros. Not worth it. I would give it a 2.5 star review, but it seems I cannot do that. Anyway. the game concept is nice. And I really like it. As well as the atmosphere of the game overall. But there are some things I cannot go over for a thing that is supposed to have had 4 years to get fixed. Here is my list of complains: AI. AI, AI Information Like seriously AI 1. Logistics AI aka Gathering and distribution. I sometimes have huge piles of materials (coal, logs, stone etc. ) and one or two building projects and the resources do not get distributed there for like 8 seasons or more. (For example, I need a Foresters lounge urgently. Stick one in the middle of the woods not far from town). 9 seasons pass, it cannot start construction because 5 stone missing. I HAVE 85 in STORAGE, but nooo. won't build that despite the fact that I have 3 builders). And further away from the village you have a building, less **** they seem to give about it. AI 2 WTF AI. Like seriously. 2-3 dudes wonder around in the middle of winter on the other side of the map. They were also essential to my buildings, so they had no reason to go there. AI 3. Lack of reinforcements. The only way to quickly boost population is through nomads. But for them you need a Trading post. Good luck getting that without an asston of luck to spawn in the right location on the map(for reasons mentioned above) Overlays, lack of. For a game that makes differentiation of resources a main issue(like not just food, but different types required) the info of how to get them is pretty limited. Like for a Foresters to work, you need areas with OLD trees, not just trees, but old ones. Good luck finding them. Same for Herbalists. Personally, if you want a city building game, go for Tropico 4, better than 5 imo. It has a funnier tone, more options to play around and more info to the player
