Settling the Cursed Coast - Pioneers of Pagonia (Part 1)
Рет қаралды 172,213
6 ай бұрынWelcome to Pioneers of Pagonia, widely hailed as the spiritual successor to the popular Settlers franchise! Now that the game has formerly entered early access, we're jumping into our first map... and it's apparently cursed by bandits and thieves!

The father of the Settlers Volker Wertich had a falling out with Ubisoft in the development of the last Settler title. Then he started the development Pioneers of Pagonia with his own team. So I would say that PoP is closer to the original idea of the Settlers than the Settlers itself (In that regard it's kinda similar to City Skylines and Sim City). Best wishes from Germany.

Hello from Germany :) Settlers from Volker Wertich was a huge thing in the German gaming sector and is a (emotional) part of a lot of the history of gamers here, back when we were all children. Same with the Anno Series or the IPs of Blue Bytes from Mainz, who are Blue Byte Ubisoft nowadays. I look forward very hopefully to how Pagonia will become in the future.

Hi Pravus, one of the few growing up in Germany and liking "Die Siedler", but never ended up buying it (that´s what the "few" part relates to). I was too invested in other games (Sid´s Pirates, Monkey Island, Sim City, Football Manager, C&C2, Test Drive, BG2, etc.). But I knew I was the exception within my community, as everyone else was playing it (the same for Diablo). This might be the 1st of the series I might be buying :) And I love your content; the videos have the right size, and you present the Games in a unique way that resonates (making fun of some parts, yet being very informative).

Another German here :) I played "Die Siedler" with a friend in split screen in my early days of gaming. Loved the series until including Die Siedler 3. After that it wasn't as good anymore. I like to see this game getting some traction and maybe look into that when I finde some time. Something I loved from Die Siedler was that you didn't had to build the streets, it just built the path as the settelers moved to their destination. That created some awesome organic paths for you.

The Settlers, especially the 3rd game, was a very popular game in Poland as well back in a day, although somewhat short-lived after the next games failed to deliver. For some reason it did not create such a lasting community like Heroes of Might & Magic 3 did, where we still hold high prize pool tournaments. I did hold like 4 copies of that game, however, and still have at least 2 sets of CDs, including one imported from Germany with a Polish localisation thrown onto it. Personally, I've probably spent close to 2k hours in Settlers 3 and probably a combined 1k+ in other The Settler games together, having been playing them literally since I can remember and even still playing The Settlers 3 now on occasion. For that reason Pioneers of Pagonia has me quite excited but at the same time I see a lot of influence of The Settlers 7 and The Settlers Online in this game, which kind of kills a lot of the optimism at the same time. I guess it is more accesible to younger and more casual players but, meh, nostalgia. Just gotta wait and see what this game becomes, I guess.

Space efficency is a modern concept for huge cities, it looks artificial and not dynamic in the slightest The fact that you even attempt to make things look somewhat dynamic in their growth is fantastic Pravus, I love it, remindes me of my small town here in northern Sweden. Praise Pravus!
@KainYusanagi 6 ай бұрын
Space efficiency is not a modern concept; even the ancient city of Rome was built with that understanding. However, as populations swell, and borders grow, a new layer of growth is built, and unless that is done deliberately by the rulers of the settlement, it can be chaotic, winding and twisting as everyone strives to build as close to the town gates and major thoroughfares as possible for their own benefit, without any such oversight, but that usually gets burnt down and replaced when the rulers of the settlement decide to utilize the land that such squatters were tolerated upon previously.

@hylje 6 ай бұрын
Settlements HAD TO BE space efficient up until about the late 1800s when trains became cheap enough to be used for daily commutes. Walking is slow. Square street grids are an ancient invention too, since, you know, right angles are not a very difficult concept to think about. People have made rectanguloid buildings since people have made buildings at all.
@SovietReunionYT 6 ай бұрын
Space efficiency is absolutely not a modern concept for huge cities. Before modern transportation, it was a necessity to be space efficient in order to become a huge city in the first place. For practical reasons (material strength and pre-elevator logistics) it wasnt possible to build too high up, so instead all the land area had to be utilized to the fullest. Rome is the quintessential example with its cramped insulae crammed into each other all over the place, only the odd majestic public building getting some leg room. And medieval cities famously utilized overhanging upper floors to reclaim some of that wasted space above people's heads on the street. Not to mention the streets themselves being as small as possible. The modern style of city with empty space between buildings, large roads, green spaces, etc. is a thoroughly modern invention. You can clearly see it in cities with surviving old towns. It's always endless rows of multistory houses with their walls pressed against each other. No open areas except where the pre-modern buildings have been demolished.

@peterwstacey 6 ай бұрын
Yes, well remembered! One of the main things in Settlers 1 and 2 (and maybe later games, I haven't played them) was how to best create a road network that enabled the efficient transport of goods. You could only transport 1 item between flags along a road, and the Settler went at the speed of the slowest ground along that path. So a grid / loops of roads with regular warehouses was the most efficient method (assuming you had building materials for the warehouse and enough settlers to populate the paths)

Yeah, the incredibly simplistic pathfinding does rather stick out. Calling them traffic jams is really apt because they really do behave like cars on a two lane road rather than people down a wide path. That'd likely start to drive me nuts. Makes it feel like you want to avoid placing any buildings on main thoroughfares to avoid bottlenecks and backups, which you wouldn't think should be a thing with pedestrians. Also, I wouldn't really call this game "grid based", as while something of a grid appears when you place a path, it's pretty clear that structures don't snap to that grid, only to the side of the path. I think the grid that shows up is more a guideline to tell you if you have room to place buildings on either side of it if you want to place your paths first and buildings second.

Watching from Germany. Regarding the Traffic Jams: I do not think you are supposed to put buildings that receive deliveries right on the main road. You got 3 Squares of distance to place buildings. You need to use them. Giving the buildings their own, short road means deliverers don't disrupt the main road line. But I heard that proper warehouses also connect to the ships storage. So, less need to carry stuff too and from the boat.

As you first settled this direction do you forget a stronghold at this side and not make war tools nor soldier - and now do you complain? It is a modern version of The Settlers mix with The Settlers II, first played on Amiga 500 in 1989 or on PC 1990 if I renember right. The second was around 1994. I self loved the big maps then I love the business in it, not the war with other groups. For the missions I buy books with maps so I can better planing what I should do. 😂 I wonder every time why people not read the description and why do you not make an exchange point for diplomacy with your neighbor's?
