As Tolkein said, at least in Europe, major cities arent founded at the mouth of rivers. The deltas are swampy and difficult to build on. You put it outside the delta, where the river is easier to work around.

The "hyper optimised" bit at 28:00 was absolutely crushing to watch. He managed a whopping 28 useful build sites within the 4 tax collectors radius. Without any effort at all he raced past the possible 64, and even managed to crush the ultra simple and lazy 56. Impressive stuff

@AngelicHunk7 ай бұрын
I wouldn't really call it a "lesser developed version". It looks similar and has similar base mechanics, but it's both missing features from K&C and has features K&C doesn't have that it stands on its own. For example, there's no combat in this (which lends to its "idle" nature), but this has those progression and random quests, it's less annoying to plan and optimize city layouts as most buildings seem to be 1x1, and it has an "incremental" vibe to it with those massively increasing values.

Caesar is the first grid-based resource management city builder style game I can think of that did the citizen amenities with radii to make efficient layout micromanagement part of it's gameplay loop. That was followed by the Settlers series which added the semi-RTS conquest of maps, and the Anno games further improved upon that. I love Banished, but this genre goes back a couple decades further.😀

Remember a few days ago when you made that post asking if your audience considered you a shill and a sell out? Look at your recent videos, look at how click-bait the titles are for the sponsored videos, at the thumbnail style, at how very obvious it is that those videos were not made for your main audience but rather to capture as many as possible. but then look at the view counts of those videos. Yes, you sold out, but the numbers don't lie, you need to sell out to be successful. That being said, this was a fun video and I'll be picking this game up in no time. Edit: This is even your profile's main tag (or whatever it is called): "If you are inquiring about a sponsored video please remember to include a [Sponsorship] tag or word in the e-mail headline. It will make it much less likely to be buried in my inbox as I can filter for them." You care so much about sponsorships that you address them immediately upon arriving to your channel. Like if it walks, like a duck, quacks like a duck, and wants sponsorships more than subscribers, it's probably a sell out.
