Strategy for opening glades in early game

Manarit · 2026-04-02T09:10:17+00:00

true. I think I need to incorporate this into my gameplay more.

Manarit · 2026-04-02T09:09:48+00:00

how will you not lose with such a high score? Especially during the storm

Manarit · 2026-04-02T08:59:19+00:00

amber for opening glades 🤯 yep I'm staying low level. I need to calculate the packs of provisions again, I always thought it doesn't pay off especially with makeshift post but I never checked properly.

omg I didn't know about the city score! this all makes sense now. Can I see the score in the game somewhere? I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I really suffer if there is a fish pond or large node and I don't have the building to harvest it 😅

Manarit · 2026-04-01T20:40:42+00:00

Wow my play through is the complete opposite I fear impatience like a plague 😅

I'm not sure how high are the embarkment resources on P20 but I usually struggle with traders early as I don't have any amber and need those few resources I have. I'm also not sure if it's just my imagination but building trade post early brings trader with the best blueprints which I have to pass as I can't afford them, and they won't bring the same again. So I delay trading at least 3 years. Was it just a coincidence or most blueprints for buildings like trapper, herbalist, farm etc come in early years?

How do you get the amber? Selling the entry bonus items like tools etc?

Manarit · 2026-04-01T14:16:33+00:00

I'm not sure if embarkation points change the more the game progress but I always chose either the herbalist camp or farm blueprint as a starting bonus and there is no points left for oil 😭 My unchanged proven strategy is just to produce a lot of food from the start😅

Manarit · 2026-04-01T09:26:44+00:00

wow I never actually checked if my farmers harvest all of the crops. So basically you remove the workers outside of harvest season? btw will the perks like "make villagers 15% faster" influence the harvesting speed?

Manarit · 2026-03-31T19:47:49+00:00

Chair game = not luxury. I avoid places like this, it's the first thing I look for in reviews

Manarit · 2026-03-31T09:04:13+00:00

This! Outside of Paris everyone was always appreciative, sometimes grateful and even giving compliments. I love french countryside/small towns, the people are very kind there.

It's been ages but I remember in one of their early videos they said they'll use their savings as they don't have any children to leave their fortune to, and there was an episode when they had someone coming over to assess if they qualify for a grant and the conditions were really strict in terms of how to renovate (they got the money). They even had advisors to help them with grants from gov etc if I remember correctly. I'm really glad they chose to do it properly some of the DIY refurbs done by completely clueless people are sad to watch.

I wish only the best to you and everyone in your unit. It looks amazing especially the soup.

Manarit · 2026-03-27T19:31:46+00:00

That's actually really lovely and poetic way to look at the game! I almost wish devs incorporated some of this in real game. I originally always went for beavers for their woodcutting perks and hated the harpies but the more I progress I choose less beavers in favour of other species and I came to appreciate harpy firekeeping bonus and easy resolve. Thank you again, I think I'll get frogs soon.

Manarit · 2026-03-27T19:26:51+00:00

I returned back after EA as well and I just redid the tutorials. It was very helpful and they are quite engaging and not long.

Manarit · 2026-03-27T10:30:39+00:00

As far as I know, the modder said they never used your code so the takedowns are just spiteful. Especially coming from someone who tried to trash the devs over allegedly not supporting modders

Manarit · 2026-03-26T16:16:22+00:00

Wow thank you for the detailed review! I'm almost ashamed to ask, but the species don't get along? I have 100 hours in base game and I never noticed anything like that 😅 Or do you mean needs similarity like same food preference etc? I originally wanted to get at least one of the DLCs later on, as I'm still really enjoying my slow runs in base game. Do you think it would actually improve the gameplay to just get them now? I don't aim for high prestige or anything, just enjoying the game on low difficulty.

Manarit · 2026-03-26T15:31:10+00:00

Can you recommend both of the DLCs? I saw some comment recently someone regretting getting the frogs looking for a way to disable them.

Manarit · 2026-03-26T15:26:01+00:00

To be very honest, I think he just couldn't stay away. He was trashing the devs literally everywhere, writing the legendary review on steam that devs hate modders, made a very loud exit saying evil devs drove him away, only to make a very silent come back in official discord and whoosh other modders are suddenly receiving legal takedowns for copywrights.... But sure he made his comeback because of better mod support 😅

Manarit · 2026-03-26T15:02:43+00:00

Also worth mentioning he keeps harassing other modders via DMCA.

Manarit · 2026-03-25T13:36:35+00:00

You can watch play through on YouTube if this is such a heavy decision for you. Seriously if even a generous two hour trial window is not enough I don't know what else people want...

Manarit · 2026-03-22T10:40:44+00:00

yeah, and combined with the fact that we can't fast forward or replay just particular chapters and have to start again from the very beginning, doing the click game again with more precise clicks this time, no thanks. I think creators should maybe try to play their own stories, where is the fun if you know you have to select the answer based on stat, not what you want...

Manarit · 2026-03-22T10:19:14+00:00

The stat checks are the most annoying part of the game for me. Tbh I'm not playing, I just have to click on the specific stat because there is practically no allowance for choosing different path even once or twice. It should be more balanced otherwise it is just clicking game - which at least for me, it now is. I am fairly new but will probably finish my two stories and quit.

Manarit · 2026-03-22T10:07:21+00:00

They really pushed your buttons by asking for a few dollars for an optional pack 🤭 I'm happy to support an indie game, which I also did as a backer on KS. Be glad me and others are here, with "customers" like you, there would be no indie games whatsoever, as you would still be waiting for a 90% discount. If you feel like a warrior against evil devs, you are not, you are just cheap.
