So... is this, like, King of Dragon Pass 2.0?

[LC]

Is it an update and otimization of King of Dragon Pass, with a diferent story?

[Odeum]

It's set in the same universe and has similar gameplay.

[K. Kas]

Very similar approach, but they focused on improving gameplay. Takes place before KoDP, you're not an Orlanthi tribe (yet). Better combat, way better management. The story has more focus than KoDP, and it introduces new mechanics specific to Rider culture.

Plus, its bigger in my estimation. In KoD, you already knew all the tribes. Here you know only a few. When exploring, you find a lot more in other areas. But the basic system is the same as in KoD: you have a tribe, which gets (hopefully) bigger and so on. And its a bit more aggressive: at some times i get constantly attacked by this damn Ram-people. In KoD, i had some fights with the trolls, killed as many i could and at some point they were beaten. Here? I have the impression, i have enemies everywhere...

And its still kinda bugged: when you try to install a trade route with a certain clan, it installes trade routes with whomever. Even if this clan is your worst enemy.

Remember how talked about the God Wars in the Lore and king of dragon pass. This game takes place during Gods War from the human perspective saying but the next game it's taking place during the Great Darkness.

This is a spiritual successor, it actually takes place before King of Dragon pass and has not only the orlanthi, but also the ancestors to the horse spawn. The Orlanthi in Six ages actually are not the same exact orlanthi in KoDP, rather their like a precursor culture.

[Rakeela]

It seems harder to manage the economy and win the fights in this game. The "tech level" of the Orlanthi in KoDP is a bit higher, and it shows.

I gave some tips to people about combat in a reddit thread if your interested in some approaches you can use to win more in Six Ages combat:

I feel like there are actually more options for getting food and that the trading economy feels fairly similar.

Fixed this today for the next build. Pretty sure it related to choosing a clan from the map. So for now, the workaround is to choose caravan destinations from the list.

It's not the same game, but it's very much the same kind of game. Gameplay is similar but more polished.

[Cerberus]

I like to call it King of Dragon Pass 1.9.

David, does winning wars work here in the similar way as KoDP?
You disintegrate the whole enemy army in successive battles, they ask to leave them alone, or else they "recharge" and start over in full force?

[david]

In KoDP, war was a major story event. I don’t give away how story might unfold.

If you mean raids, we expand a bit on how they can swing back & forth until one side breaks.

The economy and managment aspects of the game has been streamlined and changed, but battles are better and the new venture/spiritis/pasture mechanics are fun.
Cannot take over enemy land, only cows and horses now and hunters/herd animals goods production has been removed and there are only warriors and commoners, streamlined farming.


Still worth playing, but could use some depth like the original gog version on a more statistical managment level in my opinion.

+1 always like more stats data is good.

Fortunately there are other kinds of depth possible than goat and barley sliders.
