Nice begging

Well played

[@falconeerdev]

A thanks from the developer for playing it. It's kind of weird and odd in many ways, but it does have a lot of bridges. Also if you reroute a trade-route after you made the little bascule drawbridge by crossing it, it will then snap to go underneath it, and when the ships pass it actually opens. I have no idea why I mention this, but It is perhaps my most favorite hidden thing I put in this game ;) Again thanks for giving it a spin. It's super appreciated.

[@garyfreeman7122]

You crafted a gorgeous game, I hope Matt plays more of this

[@Real28]

You did this game solo? It's wild what 1 person can do now. I'm sure this was a lot of work but the polish on it is kinda crazy. Awesome job, you should be very proud!

[@jp9432]

Nabbing it tonight, mate!

[@soulsurvivor8293]

It's a great game, fairly easy to pick up how it all works if you look through the in-game decriptions/hints/directions. Direct and unobstructed pathing is vital for all resources, building up the Command Tower to the point it begins to cost Worker distance can reduce other resource productions if it's the only route. You want to minimise the number of "jumps" between towers & structures as much as possible. Building out ascending layers of foundations around your Outpost/Citadel will increase the population of that faction. Adding additional Towers radially, with no joining paths elsewhere, around the Outpost/Citadel and buliding up their foundation layers will further increase that Factions Population. The Freehouse is the most difficult to maintain as the dominant Faction in your settlement, even having all Captains & Commanders with twice the population of any other Faction can sometimes not be enough to maintain the Neutral Freehouse Dominance of the Settlement. Assigned Ship Captains, Commanders in Command Towers and Population all contribute to your Settlements Dominant Faction. Some Captains and Commanders will refuse to work if assigned to the same shipping route as Captains of another Faction or if a particular Faction is the Dominant one in other cases. Balancing your political Factional allignment is precarious at times. Additionally, the Resource nodes like Wood, Stone & Iron are a finite resource when you are extracting it yourself. But if you gain a resource via Trade with another Settlement, it is effectively infinite. So there is a built-in incentive to Trade with NPC Settlements. Juggling which particular Factional Captains to transport and protect those longer Trade Routes is the trade-off, in a manner of speaking. There are options to remove the Resource limits. Some options even allow you to Free Build without Hostile encounters or Resource requirements too. The default settings are fun to play once you get the hang of the mechanics of the game though.

[@Harrison-hg2vs]

It’s so cool I might buy it

[@Just_A_Dude]

It's recycling a lot of assets from "Falconeer" because it's set in the same universe (which is also why it's "Falconeer Chronicles"). It's a roguelite air combat simulator game where you ride around on one of those birds doing aerial combat.

[@soulsurvivor8293]

​@@Just_A_DudeNone the less, the Dev did a fantastic job of using those assets for such a dramatically different game. The work involved to make Bulwark as an easy to pick up, yet intricately complex Settlement Builder is nothing short of amazing. The lore of it carrying on from the previous Falconier game's conclusion is brilliantly delivered too. I personally never played the other game, however I was able to pick up the lore of what had previously occurred in that game from Bulwark's lore alone. It's a fascinating world that's clawing it's way back to life after the apocalyptic destruction wrought by the war in the previous game. I adore post-apocalyptic settings in games, the mix of Fantasy and Sci-Fi elements in the game's world make it rich & full of a life of its own. I highly recommend it and give the Dev much praise, as he so deserves for making it.

[@Just_A_Dude]

@@soulsurvivor8293 Yup! Not trying to denigrate the guy's work; I meant it more in the sense of "Hey, go check out Falconeer, because it's awesome!"

[@Chuycabra]

Bridge Review! The Game!😂

[@infinitedragonsunlocked]

That might be why Matt didn't do a bridge review lol

[@Just_A_Dude]

Falconeer is a roguelite air-combat game where you're flying around the exact same map this game uses, on the back of a giant falcon. This is, essentially, "what everyone else is doing" for that world.

[@cedarman6790]

Day 1 of watching RCE slowly turn into an architect, notice how he focused on looks and didn’t do any bridge reviews.

[@TRAILLER]

As far as the people in this game are concerned you are the ARCHITECT of their prosperity. You come up with construction ideas willy nilly and someone else does the math to make it work. I think you subconsciously knew, thus refrained from doing a "bridge review" out of shame.

[@TheShardsFamily]

Arch you glad to bridge this to us all

[@snerdterguson]

speaking for everyone, thanks for easing any tension with those puns. Everybody loves puns, you can believe me, I'm very trussworthy.

efficiently shaped buildings and lots of bridges. I knew you were going to play this game

[@octane613]

Oh man this looks fun, might actually pick this one up

[@matthewbunting9890]

Got this game myself not to long ago.. for your info to actually move those commanders you hire and unique buildings you need to dismantle the initial tower/location their in and relocate them to a new location of your choice.. unique buildings you can place and commanders as you know go into command towers.
