Finally.. a proper Settlers game!
Just came out after finishing a round on Settlers 7, thinking how amazing a new Settlers game would be. Thinking of the disaster i Beta tested, that was supposed to be Settlers 8. (Thank god it was stopped and rebranded).
and thank god Ubisoft didnt give up on this brand. 2019 is gonna be such a good year with the Settlers comming.
So a few questions, suggestions and feedback on what ive read so far.
Feedback:
- I really love most things ive read so far. From transportation, feeding, upgrades, expansion. I think you are on the right path of taking the best out of each series, and blending them toghether to a really good settlers game.
Suggestions:
- Make each settlers selectable. On click, lock camera, display routing, and time spent on mission, and downtime, coloring paths according to speed. Highlight residence, and places visited, items carried\made during the last hour etc.
- In the single player campaign, dont let every game end with a "conquer everything" mission.
Questions:
- I noticed something on "upgrading" the settlers from carriers to proffessions. Was this correct, and will settlers then have variables connected to them, like strengtgh, agility, perception, social etc etc, and will the different crafts prefer different skills to increase efficiency?
- How complex are you planning to make combat? Will it be strictly a rock-scissor-paper system, or will we see more variables included to make tactical and strategic choices? What i really liked about Settlers 7, was the distinct non-military winning options.
- How will victories be handled? Are there one large condition that needs to be achieved (Think civ6 eiter science, cultural or etc). Or will it be more like Settlers 7 where you have a wide array of smaller goals that can be combined to your liking? (Which was an excellent take for that particular game)
- What are the devs take on production chains? Will it be an easy 1:1 ratio or are you aiming to make it more complex? Also, will numbers be open, like in Anno1800, where you can calculate everything?
And last but not least..
im hyped! =D
