1) Micromanagement. It may be a fault in the tutorial system that he didn't know this, but it seemed like he wasn't aware that if your citizens have nothing to do, either because you haven't assigned them anything to do (Builders) or because of the season (Farmers), they default to Laborers and will fill in as needed assuming you have queued something up. I feel like there is less overall micromanagement required than he was describing, although if you want to min/max the crap out of your village, it seems like it is still a good idea to be fiddling with the professions window on a regular basis. 2) Modding support. It won't be in the game at launch, so maybe that's why he didn't mention it, or he doesn't know, but Shining Rock is planning on adding modding support to the game, which could fix a lot of the problems he sees with it so far. Adding additional tech, buildings, disasters, seeds, livestock, etc. To me Banished seems like one of those games that will have a small but extremely loyal playerbase that will generate some really good mods in the long run. 3) He kept saying 'they' throughout the video, so maybe he doesn't know that it was one guy who made the game, because he usually mentions it in his WTF videos if he is impressed with a game that was developed by one person, and expectations are tempered as a result. Not a big deal, but I think it's worth noting what he was able to achieve by himself and with a smaller budget and provide to us for $20. Regardless, I'm excited to play tomorrow! | ||

I would have liked some sort of objective or at least a score system though, usually pure sandbox game lose their appeal too quickly for me. Pretty impressed it's a one man project either way. | ||

It's not nearly as complex as Dwarf Fortress, and probably can never be without a combat system, but with mods I would expect it to get much more complex over time. But yes, you can draw a lot of comparisons between them, and as someone who can never really get into Dwarf Fortress because of the (lack of) UI, it looks pretty appealing to me because I love the genre. | ||

Dwarf Fortress is what is is because of the utter wierd stuff you can do it in. Engineering works of almost anything and the psychology of your dwarf makes the game. | ||

This'll be the first non-"esports" game I've played in a while, and I'm insanely excited to get back to the shit I used to love playing my steam shop has a countdown. Just check yours to see how long you need to wait | ||

Is it realistic meaning that it does hinge on a lot of exterior and inner-population issues? Plus, is it continually challenging or is it pretty much just medial management after the first big huffs of establishing your town? | ||

Plus, is it continually challenging or is it pretty much just medial management after the first big huffs of establishing your town? you always need to keep a close eye on your food, coats, etc even though I play on easy together with my gf on the same mapseed if I expand to fast I struggle for food etc. In the beginning your people as a resource are very rare most of them are needed for the food production. I gathered alot of stone and iron which is all over the map but still quite short on wood. So far I really like it. | ||
