How is this game for someone bad at management games?

[Pyrofisho]

I suck at them and honest to god get stressed playing management games. Do I need a galaxy brain to play this or can my dumbass manage?

It is a management game. It's about production chains. A tailor is useless without a weaver or imported cloth. A weaver is useless without a shepherd or imported wool. So if you don't enjoy these games, it's probably not for you. On the other hand, the graphics and underlying ideas are unusually good and fun for a game of this type.

Also, it's still in Early Access, so several things don't work properly. It might be better to wait at least until the game is finished and some of the more nasty bugs are out.

It would depend on why you dont like management games. If you just like to build and expand with very little micro management then this game might be enjoyable to you. As it is right now, its very casual and forgiving. You can even disable immigration so there is no pressure to constantly expand.

However, if you actually like to micro manage. Then this game can be a bit like herding cats. Your villagers have a lot of autonomy. Blazing new trails into areas you didn't plan for, expect, or want. Or setting up houses in unpredictable or chaotic ways. If you like neat orderly cities where everything is placed perfectly this game will be triggering. But if you like a little chaos, like your village to look a little organic and haphazard, while you sit back and watch slowly evolve. Then the game might be for you.

Actually, lack of micromanagement, when the bugs are out of it, is the best part of this game. You just set stuff up ("You may build houses somewhere around here.") and let the sims deal with it. I've stopped playing at least two city building games because I spent all my time micromanaging. This game is really fun because you can just set things up and appreciate how the sims deal with your commands.

Unfortunately, many people playing the game are having to micromanage because of bugs in the game. I'm sure they'll be flattened, but right now it makes playing too annoying for me.

It's a good game for casual management game. Just follow the inital quests and you're good to go.
It's easy to expand, if you know how. Like I said, just follow the inital quests.
Just don't expect to always laid back, there are small things need to be taken care of before you can have self sufficient village that runs like clockwork.

The overall UI still needs some work to do. Heck the population's names are still #male24010 and #female12400 or something like that.

The question to ask is do you have OCD? If you do the way the housing builds itself will likely trigger you xD

It's a good starter management game there isn't much content yet not many things to/that can be managed yet.
