It scales somewhat poorly on bigger landscapes. Still, pretty cute. Hope they straighten it out, it's still alpha, after all.

It allows you to establish food chain, build logisitcs with roads and couriers, and recruit army (or build altars for sacrifice).

This seems quite expensive for such a game these days. I have got so cheap in my old age.

In your old age U.S. Dollar was worth way more, so it didn't get expensive at all. Thank your Federal Reserve overlords for inflating the monetary system in their planetary-scale (because of international transactions done in dollars) fraud.

Now back to topic:
I must say that the game is very god for an alpha, and it also had the very feeling that I got from Settlers 2 back on Win98 (I was running it there, anyways). So it deserves high price as it's pretty rare and therefore valuable (supply is lesser than demand so they can afford themselves to be pretty expensive).

They do if we talk about production as development of new software, not new copies.

They make the stuff nobody else does but everyone wants to have => they can set the price higher and still be good enough.

In fact, the difference between demand (for one particular game) and supply (of one particular game, for example, not available until release date but available for pre-purchase) due to hype trains is the main reason AAA titles cost so much.

And this one isn't exactly an AAA title and actually is a quality product (so far).

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: I think I've sent you a discord friend request (if I've done it right) Ba'al! Aug 21, 2024 7:53:46 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

hardly: Dammit you beat me I wanted to be first to come back just to remark that he’s at it again. Aug 21, 2024 10:08:21 GMT

Lord Ba'al: lol\ Aug 21, 2024 17:32:20 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Hi hardly! Hi Griffork! Aug 21, 2024 17:32:42 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Then it mentioned there was this big hand mouse cursor, and I was like, nah, this will be shit. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:25 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Initially it was promising though, as it mentioned he had "put the old band back together". Aug 21, 2024 17:35:05 GMT

Lord Ba'al: By the way, I closed the whole forum for posting, due to the fact that all that was being posted was spam, but if anyone wants to make a post, I'm happy to open it up again, even if that's maybe just temporarily. Aug 21, 2024 17:36:02 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Or... post in the spammer section, and I can always move it elsewhere
