I then tried A New Era for myself, and can only say “big mood”.
Usually with something like this I’d say “Remember Pharaoh?
It’s like that,” except it turns out I misremembered Pharaoh.
It’s a collision of your usual city-builder interlocking systems, and vibes-based town planning.
if it takes too long for fire safety to be carried to a building, it’ll burn down.
You will level a few cities before you figure these vibes out.
There’s so much to learn.
All of which is, I suppose, a long-winded way of saying “Remember Pharaoh?
It’s like that.”
The controls are easy, and it’s painless to wipe out buildings you’ve placed somewhere daft.
There are also loads of coloured overlays to check the supplies and needs of your city.
Looks real nice, too, Although it did take me a while to get over the art.
The buildings and land look lovely, but the people and animals are sort of…cartoon-y.
I found this a bit weird, especially when an ostrich was facing the camera, for some reason.
