Funny thing about the "looks like Rimworld" claims about the visuals is one of the early knocks against Rimworld was it "looks like Prison Architect".
@kingsway.1832 күн бұрын
fair but the UI of this game is pretty much the same rimworld had atleast tried to have a different look and feel
@whatisbestinlife8112Күн бұрын
@@kingsway.183 Yeah it is. But as far as UI goes if it functions well for this particular genre/scale of colony management game then why invest a bunch of limited resources in reinventing the wheel just to have something different? Would be a bit like saying instead of having a weapon wheel in our shooter we're going to have a weapon tetrahedron! At a certain point a well-functioning UI approach basically just becomes sort of genre-standard. Gaming history is filled with tales of torturously designed bad UIs with players asking "Why didn't you just stick with something that already is proven to work?".

Town management is pretty fun initially but gets tedious as the town grows. The combat is way too wonky and RNG-based, the fighting skill level doesn't seem to affect anything, weapons are way too likely to break, and sometimes you can see a naked guy survives multiple attacks while the heavily armored ones get one-shotted. In conclusion, the game still needs some improvements to be enjoyable.

I did good for 13 days of the demo. Everything was fine, steadily growing, married brother off and he had a kid on the way. Day 14 I had to appoint my wife as heir because she had negative loyalty. Brother was not happy. So on day 15 after I thought it was fine with wife, I reappointed him as heir. Still had murderous desires. My daughter was born. Had to send brother on diplomatic and war journeys. He came back after his own daughter was born. He immediately tried to murder me. MC was in war with his brother. After he won, brother's wife rallied her troops and he was exiled. Now I had a large ish town, a lot of things to be managed, and only two adult ladies. They managed to get to day 20 like that, although a bit stressed. Didn't force them to remarry and just had 4 women. The wives had better stats anyway

I'll interject a comment. Pawns appear to age slowly in RimWorld because time passes so slowly if you're stuck micromanaging literally everything all the time. Looking at Majesty 2 and Norland where npcs handle their own needs and wants by default means time passes more fluidly without the game being permanently on pause. Months and years can pass while pawns learn skills and life their little digital lives. Watching this to ruin RimWorld with its ludicrous commune economy that means pawns have very little ownership of anything and no agency. Where giving them money, taxing them, and trading their labor as work as products or services to other factions and settlements keeps things moving and fluid.

It has great potential hopefully they'd tweak the combat later on, make buildings rotatable, and add more warcrimes. As of now it's doesn't have that same impact as Rimworld did even before the DLCs and mods and I get that they're trying to be original and maintain their own style but as of now the whole thing feels just like Banished with combat and character micromanagement. It gets tedious at some point but boy once they fix and improve this game it'd be another countless hours of my life I'll be glad to waste.

@hardbrocklife26 күн бұрын
Developers across the board have been terrible about optimization. They have moved the goal post for GPU standards to a standard of 12g of VRAM practically regardless of what their recommended specs say.
@hardbrocklife26 күн бұрын
I also imagine this game is a single CPU core game, without ALOT of background math taking place all the time. Higher CPU clock speeds are going to benefit you more than GPU or RAM. Thats the experience with both Kenshi and Rimworld as I expand my bases. I play Rimworld with tons of mods to I run rocket man in the background. It basically increases the time check for the status of entities so there is less math taking place in the background. Its also the reason Rimthreaded is a fairly populatmre mod for Rimworld. It allows the bath to be done asynchronously across multiple cores, instead of being done more linearly across one core.

@maddockemerson46039 ай бұрын
@@WESLEY_C._RUSHER Actually, Romanized Irish spelling is more consistent per pronunciation than most standard English and Anglicized words; it just follows funky rules. For example, the name Siobhan is pronounced SHEV-in and the word Sidhe is pronounced like 'she' for similar reasons: basically, vowels get smushed together and reduced, S followed by I becomes like standard English Sh, and consonants that end up between vowels get a softened pronunciation marked by an H; B is B until it gets between two vowels in which case it becomes Bh, pronounced like V but still spelled with B to retain the etymology of the word, and same for D but when it gets softened it becomes like the consonant Y. Standard English and Anglicized words have a lot of similar spelling/pronunciation dissonance but there seems to be a different set of rules depending on what language the word is from, what part of the Anglophone world the speaker's accent or emulated accent comes from, and what he had for breakfast that morning. I mean the letters C A E S A R don't make the sound "Sii-zr" do they?

A little too late of a comment but you say the fertility in this game is high? My characters don't have any fertility debuff and had to sleep like together for like, 5 times before the queen got pregnant...then she miscarried at birthing😭 My King & Queen was basically elderly by the time they have a single child, and my Queen get menopause a few years after. My brother and his wife also fail to produce a child before they got too old. But I was *way* better financially and gameplay-wise (?) than you. All of your points about the game, are true, I can see that, but I think it’s just you didn’t get good luck or know how to manage yet. But maybe *I* am the one getting lucky here cuz I’ve never played this type of game before and it was only my second run but I already got most buildings unlocked and financially and military wise great. Your 7 days progress was my 3 days progress, I think. Then again I was really keen on reading... I did not teach my lords anything, I just utilized their skills and only focus on training the next-gen and getting everything done before my current gen inevitably dies. But then again, I MAY have trouble later with only two lords, which are currently kids right now. One was the King & Queen’s child but one was a random bastard from a soldier and I have no idea how she was conceived and who’s her dad(literally have no relationship with a male parent). But hey, free character AND she’s unrelated to my King’s lineage

I only play Rimworld and colony managers or games like Kenshi BECAUSE you can have the indepth immersion and more micro if you want. I dont want a colony manager where your citizens are just an automated sprite with 0 personality.
