Release version when?
>>1934269the hyper around this game died fast, guess its not a game you can play for 1000h+ like some other titles
Is it worth buying, yes or no?
>>1934292Nah>>1934342Absolutely
>>1934342If you're undecided you can play the demo, it's the full game with no limit, just a couple versions out of date
>>1934292Nitpick: the UI is shit;What I disliked is how travel distance translated to in-game time spent on traveling the said distance. In big cities, you can spend half a season walking across (obviously hyperbole) so you gotta have some peculiar layout considerations which rubs me the wrong way. Another nitpick: "the empire" stage is pretty under-cook.
>>1934292It's just tourists who watched ssethe
Based game
What is the best race and why is it the Tilapi?
Post cities you fools
>>1935378whoa
How come no one ever posts snow cities?
>>1934292My main problem is every workshop being the same.
>>1934269I'm thinking of learning how to mod SoS.Do you like the amount of resources that are in the game? I was thinking of how I'd like there to be more intermediate and completed resources (Wood needs to be turned into planks before being used to make furniture or other things, pelts and hides need to be proccessed to be turned into functional leather of lavish furs, etc), as well as a bigger range of war equipment to choose from (more variety in tiers of equipment with different costs, less usage of weapons just to arm a single soldier, etc), and I wanted to know how you feel about this sort of higher complexity to resource-management.I figured out how to make new maps and retextures, which is simple enough, but the real challenge is in starting to code, or at least learn how to edit other people's code to make it work for you.
>>1935378damn thats alot of squares

In case this is not met trying to sign a treaty will resuly in a demand to do so.>Treaties with different Trade Tariffs. packtreaty allows you to interact with factions beyond another faction's borders.>If their opinion is lesser than your rivalry you're at risk of being attacked.>Offensive wars are dangerous as your allies and vasals will eventually tire of supporting them.>Regions and vassals count towards rivalry.

More, prettier roads.>A 'Park' room>Police building.>Medical research facilities.>A new, compact version of pastures.>Meaningful fortifications.>Planned to come before the Summer solstice3/3
Seems like a pretty good list of changes, but I'm a dumbass and only started playing recently. I hope things like ports do come along eventually, building more coastal cities sounds fun.
>>1936339Well, supposedly the tutorial was improved, even if it's not yet completed, so that could probably get you started on learning the latest version of the game.
>>1936385Yeah, I just mean that someone more experienced might have a better idea if some of the changes suck. More tutorial is nice. Right now I'm kinda stuck trying to balance getting new citizens and trying to keep diseases down, figuring out health care and all that.
couldn't get the new tutorial to progress past foraging
>>1936433You need to enable a slot on your storage for the apples, and eventually when you get the "You have too many commands enabled" disable the foraging command.
>>1936446I did that tho
>>1936298The actual Steam post detailing the new content in v68:https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1162750/view/501688504197054518?l=english>>1936446What step are you stuck on? hovering the mouse ove rthe Cretonian's head tells you the next step of the tutorial.Not sure if it could've bugged out.
I will give this game a chance, once my provider delivers.
>>1936571You can always try the demo. Completely free version of the full game; just a few versions outdated.The game is probbaly very different by now but it should give you a general idea of the gameplay.
>The old boost to knowledge from libraries is scrapped. Instead Libraries have their own separate tech point system.Its over.
Beta v68 seems to have some crazy fast season changing/duration with the highest speed. I cant even fully harvest the wild food.
Yearly check in. Do I still need to put my entire economy (to the point of starving) into crafting chairs for my researchers to sit in so they don't forget how to craft chairs?
>>1936772no
>>1937083what changed
>>1935343>archer forest dweller race>archers are dogshit in forestsEbin
>>1935378Organicbros...
>>1937410They're better in v68
>>1934292I stopped playing because I'm waiting for the release.
