I also had characters who are on fire set adjacent objects on fire but that got out of hand almost instantly so I’ve commented that bit of the script out ’til I get a chance to balance its effects properly. In anticipation of that glorious day, I did go through every entry in our commodities database and tag appropriate goods with either “flammable” or “explosive”.

This is a glorious day indeed.

Aww man I looked at the OP and it said it was coming out in early 2014 so I hoped it would be out by now :( This game looks like it'll scratch the itch for a city management/economy game I've been having for a long time

I've been on a colonization binge lately in anticipation of this game. I discovered the Religion and revolutions mod for Civ4: Colonization and the truckload of little extras it brings to the game is a lot of fun. Some of its a bit tedious (cotton to cloth, indigo to dues, dyes + cloth to coloured fabrics) but it lets me do what I like best, setting up production chains.

The mod gets a lot of justified flack because it models slavery, which is just unnecessary, but overall it's a fun experience.

If you get that upset over colonization games modeling slavery don't ever even think about touching Europa Universalis. There's a whole lot of money down there in Africa :twisted:

There are a number of bugs in this latest build that are irritating but the fun is already there. Once the basics are down, about the first three colonies, that emergent storytelling is already there! I don't think I can go more into it yet.

File the bugs in our forum, sir, and let's see if we can't fix some of that with Revision 15.

I hope it counts that I've basically told anyone I know who liked the guild or anno that they should keep up with this project. I don't post much but welp. Not relevant probably but god The Guild was good.

God this looks good. I hope it's not all cthulhu stuff, much as I enjoy that.

Uuuugh I make it a point not to closely follow the development of games I'm really looking forward to precisely so that I don't have to hang breathlessly on every single word and detail.
