In all honesty

How is this game. Is it worth it. Can we craft weapons and armor? Is sandbox any good? How is the story? Not trying to be racist now. But why are there black people there. It's supposed to be about Slavic mythology. That said, i get its a fantasy. But why are there not asians there or indians or other ethnic groups, if you are already going for diversity. I find this disrespectful. You might think this a small matter. But the way the world is going is a big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing.

Honestly I don't have an issue with black people being included in the game for people who want black slavs, but I don't and the game seems dead set on forcing me to have them since every kid that's born in my gord is black.

I've played demo before release, I couldn't even bring myself to finish it(I'm a fan of both, RTS and colony sims).
The game is painfully average.

The idea is good, but execution is average.
Some things are just menial(manually telling people to stop healing when they are full, because they won't stop themselves).

Extremely repeatable missions. Boring combat.
Reminds me of Populos, but without anything that made it good.

Game introduces people of color/mixed society and tells us that this is from a small, secluded northen clan that never goes out anywhere and isn't being visited by anyone, there is no suspension of disbelief here or any lore explanation for that, you're supposed to take it at face value, because it is a checkbox that gives ESG score point.

Game is lackluster in my opinion. However...

So does including races make it better? Hmm.

seems a lot of people are either complaining because its story driven and not a pure sandbox, had some technical issues or were expecting a whole different game, for some reason people people keep comparing it to/ were expecting it o be like Kenshi which is a wildly different game. Oh and of course the usual "cool kids" are mad because some of the NPCs are not Aryan brotherhood candidates.

I don't think you can play demo anymore

If they just kept the demo up, anyone could probably have seen for themselves some certain shortcomings in the game. I probably wouldn't have bothered to buy this game had the demo been kept up, so there is probably a reason why the demo wasn't kept around for others to sample.

You are probably right. Hey can you answer one thing. Can you craft weapons and armor in game.

To be honest, haven't gotten that far yet. Right now it's a micro-management simulator that I am considering refunding.

Thanks for the kind response.

They should just make an option to select tripe "color" when you start your colony and just go black, white, whatever. As people pointed out already, it makes no sense to have mixed race when we are talking about an isolated tribe like this.

No, you can't. You assign people to "work" a few military themed buildings and they magically gain weapons and armor.

Don't have an issue with black people in game. But issue that they don't include other ethnic groups

That's the big problem I have with the media/Hollywood and developers. Diversity to them just means black. Asian for them don't exist, its just white or black.

I hear you brother.

Would highly recommend folks to NOT BUY this game. It's honestly a mess. My only regret is leaving it running while cooking, and now I can't refund. It's worth about $8-10 in its current state.
- Poor UI functionality
- Missing UI features like basic worker/job panels
- Almost zero automation / basic villager intelligence (literally everything has to be micro'd or villagers become useless eaters)
- Poor unit pathing
- Selecting a single unit, like a scout, automatically opens their character panel, which then hides the minimap from view, making scouting runs for loot marked on said minimap a headache
- Mushy combat
- Error crashes on the 'start game' screen (for me at least)
- A hundred other minor issues that feel very 'alpha phase', problems that might not be annoying if all the others issues weren't so aggravating, but alas..

It makes you wonder. If a game was tested at all. Anyway, hopefully you didn't burn your food
