point One- support Ukraine by buying this fun base building game. point Two- I love this game... I have been a player of S M ´s Civilization since its invention. This feels like "the good times are coming back" for me.

Muy chulo! El inicio es aspero y el tutorial poco intuitivo y dificil de seguir/entender, pero una vez lo superas y hace click, es muy entretenido y adictivo! Porfavor haced que la camara no se resetée al cambiar de planta!
Even on discount, this is difficult to recommend. Its got the worst tutorialization Ive seen in a game and the writing is just so very awful. After struggling for a while to figure it all out, I did start enjoying the gameplay. There's some nice terraforming mechanics and building synergies. I wish resource generation was more complex or varied, like other city management games; There is only one way to build up...
