I've gotten REALLY into this game in the past month. One of the best things about the game is how good the script is at creating random terrain. The map often has peninsulas, mountains, waterways, and hills that create important strategic chokeholds. The terrain is often very relevant for tactics and where you should defend or expand.

its very interesting having a deck builder where you can just trash a card at any time and even get resources for it

This is just awesome. By the way, I am not surprised on how many games exist because of you teaching people game development. I also learned Unity watching your videos. Cheers from Germany.

Wow, lots of games that combine board game + deck building. This looks promising!

It is small but the complexity of choices is high. Memorizing which cards derive from a tech or civic is needed to make an informed choice. You don't hold a 'hand' in the traditional card playing sense. In most card games you play out of your hand and your hand continues to the next turn. In this game all cards are played, burned, or returned to the deck every turn. This took me a bit by surprise. This means every turn is all or nothing. You can't hold cards to use the next turn or the turn after that. Not sure if I totally like that. Makes the game more tactical, less strategic.

You can hold cards for next turn. Just need a warehouse/resource slot for it. Click card then hover your resource grid.

I also got into game-dev from your very early Unity videos. Joined and left the industry now

This looks very cool! Like the combo of civ and cards. Smart :)

This is a very, very good game. I am playing this very heavily. Don't be afraid to sacrifice cards, to get to better military units.

Also don't sleep on early scouts. They can claim tile's resources for one or two hammers once per turn even if you don't own it.

I'm so glad that you made this video, I'm really curious about this game. BTW those devs should have sponsored you for at least one KZread episode. 😀😛

Looks good. Gonna have to try this out.

This looks really cool 😎 thanks Quill!

A tip for any new players, Granaries are great and only burn that card if ypu either have to or have already built em in your major cities

Also dont burn techs themselves- you dont want to get locked out of better things

Best things to burn: old weaker units, buildings already built, improvements already built, wonders that you aren't going for, and weaker promotion cards. Almost always try to burn at least once per turn to get science and hammers.

Oh, I believe you can move what tiles the pop works whenever the city grows.

You library burner you! Vandal! :D

been enjoying this game

"Boxing match in a phone booth kinda vibe" Thats a sentence if Ive ever heard one. Also this game seems more akin to the earlier Civs. Yeah its hexagons, not just squares, and strategic resources. But theres something there, maybe the simplicity of it?

This game looks damn good!

I suspect a lotta people playing this are going to treat it like Civ with cards. And in doing so overlook many of the possible moves available that don't exist in Civ. 😅

fr gonna play this like Ascension

Interesting concept for sure.

looks fun might try it out

Ooh, this seems interesting!

YEAH, love this game

I, for one, welcome our perfectly-tessellating six-sided overlords

This game is much simple and much faster, i hope more update and unit cards will come😊

Just to let you know you can move population for free when a city grows a new pop. Otherwise like you said it cost a hammer.

France is so OP

Not brain icon, food is a wheat icon.

Quill you left the AI Aggressiveness on default so you may be able to set the AI to be more aggressive and thus harder

If you like this game you'll love Through the Ages. A real board game with an amazing digital version

And seemed like there were several units that could have moved from the other city to that one?

Playing games that were inspired by your tutorial == total win. WAY too much yapping though, ten minutes in and you haven't finished a turn yet!

:D

Looks cool but it seems just a little too fast. You skipped a lot of research that didn't seem to do that much for you.

Research is more strategic in this game, you don't want to research too much or your deck will get to big, which means the card you're looking for is much less likely to come up, so you want to avoid researching everything.

​@FreshlyBakedLePain fortunately you can always redraw hand for 4 gold if you don't play anything yet. Then spend 2 gold to draw extra per card.

I don't like this game at all... but it has very nice music!

There are many cheaters in the game, it is impossible to play.

ug.. I suppose it was inevitable that this happened but man randomness like this in a strategy game not for me...sigh. Find it much more interesting for you to check out star-trek infinite...
