I just checked and nearly choked. I've played every single Civ game ever made. As much as I love the series, there's no way in hell I'm paying AU$160 for a base game.
Yeah, it's pretty okay and all, but the hype made it out to be cooler than it was, in my opinion. I've been playing Foundation the last day or two and I find it way more addictive, satisfying, and unique, so far. Maybe I just need to revisit Manor Lords. The trailers made the combat out to be Mount and Blade-esque, so I think that's what really underwhelmed me. It felt more like Civilization-style "throw a bunch of units at the bad guy" combat.
after you hit the 10-15 hours mark you are just looking around like Travolta, that’s it? yep that’s it.. no more content. Potential is there but will the devs deliver it? not so sure. Atm the game is overpriced.
A great game for sure. Probably my most awaited game release.
Only issue is that I need to finish factorio before that release and I wasn't expecting the factorio DLC to extend the game by like 3x...
Anyway Manor lords was my most played single player game for 2024 in its rather barebone build and it was already a blast. Something that brings back when I was playing Settlers as a kid but with modern graphics.
It looks real good, but I'm still playing Aginst thr Storm, and will probably give Farthest Frontier a try before goong into this one. Still, it's on my list!
