Actually that is a good point, we often don't break game costs down like this. How much does it cost to go to a movie? What is the return on that expense? Which of course then begs the question - are you paying to off set costs or just for the entertainment it gives you. Does a beer provide more value, in that regards? Can you even compare them? It is a question that will haunt philosophers for eons.

In terms of the food production as a CON, I think focusing on battle would be much more convenient than having a huge variety of prodcution options. Additional stories can be developed (single player mode), that would absolutely give the game a huge push forward. I'm an old fashioned (Age of Empire Trial) player, still playing the Demo version until now, despite the fact that I'm fan of thise specific franchise (AoE) and I do have all its releases, as well as StarCraft where resources are pretty much the same and fixed. **I think focusing on combat styles, strategies and battles (for both single & multiplayer games) would be more beneficial to players/developers than having the player deeply involved in supply chains, economics and huge variety of resources to produce new/additional goods. This is a strategy game after all!!! (Where, How, When to attack and with what force)** I just wanted to point out how do I see RTS games based on my personal experience and passion. By the way the game is pretty promising and it looks really good

Great style of presenting a review of a title, admire the way you haven't just copied the thousands of others out the and found you own style and uniqueness. The game itself looks stunning, but more style over substance, alarm bells started ringing when I watched the trailer on Steam and saw the archers draw back and let loose with the arrows following a weedy arc that travelled about 12 foot. The Ragnarok kill switch upon finding the final Rune as well ?! probably a blessed relief. What a shame.

This is not a city building game, this is basically an RTS that should be focused on combat, because that's what RTS are for. Such a shame, because it's such a beautiful game that I was hyped to play. They should have gone either with full on city building or full on RTS. They could do a hybrid, but if they can't make one, it would be much harder to make two in one.

Have you been keeping up with this any, or gave up on it? If you are still following, is there any hope some 5+ months later? This looks great graphically and on paper seems to be a really good game. But they have a long way to go to make the city building fun, and interesting maps to explore. I like huge maps and procedurally generated ones tend to off the most replay value. There are issues with the randomization sometimes but I find, even the best hand crafted maps get stale after a play or 2. :/

Ah, what a shame. This game looks really good, but that is about all it can offer. Large as an ocean, deep as a puddle. Either the devs came out WAY too early in early access or they really did think that this bare bones city builder would be enough for some casual gamers. It boggles my mind how after Life is Feudal, which is arguably THE BEST medieval city building game, devs can still make such inferior games. No one really says you should copy all the best games out there, but at least take the bits that made those great games and add your own twist to it. Sure they added combat to a medieval city builder, but even the combat is shit, with dumb AI and ridiculously easy battles. Instead of doing it like this with multiple small settlements on a small map, they should have just had a medium map only for the player city and getting invaded by other viking clans from off map. This way it would have allowed them to focus more on the city building mechanics which are seriously lacking. Then they could have done raiding missions in an over world map as simple menu items with short stories, like they did it in Frostpunk. Even though that map is a static drawing with some circles and blips on it, the events that you encounter are made so much more interesting because of the image and the story behind them. Although im guessing these guys never intended to have any story events in the game. This game has a good start but it needs so much more time in the oven.

Why even make a city building game of a culture and era that had no cities? No wonder there are only a few building types and no upgrading of them. Even now some of the buildings are complete made up. Just an honest RTS game would be a better focus.
