Great game but just too broken

[Arcana]

ai opponent is too OP
majority of game is broken and needs major fixing which i dont see happening for months if not years. Unfortunately, another game with a major amount of hype that should not have so many bugs if you have been working on it for several years.

I smell skill issues. But jokes aside(or is it?) it's a fkn early access. Are you trolling? You must be trolling, right?

Out of interest - what are the alternatives in the market that people think comes close this? Ostriv is fun but gets pretty boring quickly and aesthetically isn't even close to the feel of this. I've been putting roads over roads and weird placed houses and not once seen any break to the graphics or had any issues with moving things around.

And this is before I start listing the multitude of games about: Production Chains, City/Tower Defence and Medieval Warfare. Which, for each, there's an entire other catalogue of established and high-quality alternatives to this game.

Not trying to dunk on anyone, Manorlords is definitely trying to be something better and different than a lot of the games on the list above... But it's definitely not there yet, so I'd recommend most of the titles above over Manorlords today.
