How it feels

a nostalgic, methodical build-and-conquer affair that blends resource management with tactical army control on hexagonal battlefields

What players say

Players call it a faithful homage to The Settlers, but opinions differ on whether its simpler, more forgiving resource system is an improvement. Many find the missions too hard, and several point to frustrating worker AI and a lack of warehouse management as limiting the fun.
