thanks a lot for checking out the demo and sharing your feedback! i'm noting it all down. btw i'm planning a demo update in the next couple of days that will already address a couple of these points, namely give players more ways to get out when cornered somewhere by other tribes, plus some UX improvements for moving/staying. thanks again

    just to clarify: there's still a ton to do each turn in Old World, you just have a limited number of "Orders" you can issue each turn, so you usually can't move every single unit and worker every turn, which forces the player to prioritize and creates a fun extra layer of strategy

    compared to other historical 4X games, I particularly like the orders system, which minimizes micro-management and late-game slog, and the characters/families/events, which keeps you on your toes as things are always changing both internally and externally.

    it's been a while since i played Civ 4 or 5 but i loved them too when i used to play them!

    hey I'm a solo gamedev and I recently launched the demo for Folk Emerging.

    if you're into turn-based strategy games like Civilization and enjoy in-depth characters, cultures, and ecosystems, then this might be for you!

    curious to hear what folks around here think
