| Oct 7 11:21:06 | A Shared Earth | ♥ 2 | Hi! Time for my by now traditional review... I like how streamlined you kept it this time. It doesn't seem overwhelming at all and you can play it on your lunchbreak, but the core of what makes strategy fun is still there. Story is also interesting -- may have been done before, but not nearly as much as you'd expect given the rich themes involved. - When zooming in and out on the menu you can still 'select' countries (well, color them green briefly...) 😉 - (At first:) It isn't _entirely_ clear to me what establish colony and settle fleet is -- and what is gained from separating these actions. (Later:) No, I get it now. Still feels a little bit clunky that you need a colony and _then_ they can't just settle off themselves, but this fits both the story better and has more crunchiness to it (good, because it needs at least a _little_ even if streamlining). - It seems set up so that at least _some_ actions need to be aggressive (or willingness to live through years where the fleets are just dying...), I don't think there's a good path where the err, 'native population' is always pleased that doesn't end up with the first few fleets dead of starvation. - (Later) ... except if you make a mortal enemy of Antarctica .. see screenie 😛 shared_world_except_antarctica.png - There's a nice spot between India and China where you can capture about 40% of the world by population with a single embassy (and chuck in Pakistan and Nepal for good measure...). - A pox on you Antarctica! Don't destroy my Colony! (How did they do that?) - (Web/PostJam version at least, I'm on Linux Manjaro running an updated version of Firefox) > "Your Rotation has enced, Overseer ... Are you ready?" -> Well, yes, (I'm ready to face the consequences...) but you won't let me select an option. Dev-console: Logs seem to be spammed a lot, but if I limit it to errors, I see `'USER ERROR: Unknown event id: EndRotation2'` every time I click the 1st option. I might do an aggressive play later, but I dislike playing the baddie, so maybe not 😅 (You're well aware of this, but I can't help but note:) Don't forget to rate others'! You know how hard it is if you start a week later... |
