- Complex economies and trading

- Unique terrains with many different benefits

- Wide variety of resources and resource management

- ... and more!

==========================================

 

Personally, I'm ready to dig in on the 15th. I love games like these, and Ymir is really scratching that itch I've had for a new game I can dump some hours into. Tell me what you think about the game, will anyone else be playing it when it's available on Steam? With these types of games, the possibilities are endless. You can run an empire that spans the continent, or a humble kingdom; be a peaceful diplomat, or a dangerous warlord.

 

May the best pigman win.

Looks like a mobile game that is designed to make you wait for stuff to finish building or pay a dollar to complete it instantly.

Things do take a while to build on a persistent world, but except for buying the game, there's nothing else to throw money at except for the developer's patreon.

It looks pretty sick. Might put some hours into it

Looks extremely ambitious, unsure if it is my cup of tea.

 

Looks like a mixture of CIV and Age of Empires, with a touch of mobile style gameplay like beerman mentioned.

 

We'll see what happens.

It's very ambitious, for sure. Luckily it's releasing on Steam, meaning that the game can be refunded before 2 hours total playtime in case it turns out to be a game you don't like.
