Turn-based strategy: River update for "Settle the World"
Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel has released a river update for his turn-based building and trading game "Settle the World" - see detailed introduction on amiga-news.de (YouTube developer video).
Compared to the playable preview from the beginning of November (amiga-news.de reported) there are many improvements:
- Rivers wind through the landscape and can be navigated by small sailing ships
- There is a new terrain type that is good for planting tobacco
- A button for unloading units from ships
- The F1 key shows an overlay in the map and city view with the most important shortcuts and explanations of icons
- Warnings when leaving a city, e.g. if no production has been set, or the city does not produce enough food
- Dozens of bugfixes
As the author explains, the game is far from finished and this update is just another small step on the way to the full version.
You can load "Save-Slot 1" in the game and see what a slightly advanced game state looks like. Furthermore, the developer recommends to save frequently and to use different save-slots, because the game still contains a lot of bugs. Some of these bugs - such as units that suddenly appear twice - could be solved by saving and reloading. Also the game music would sometimes run too fast and can then be turned off and on again via the game options.
"Settle the World" is primarily intended as a duel between human opponents, but can also be played alone. The game requires 1 megabyte of ChipRAM and 4 megabytes of FastRAM, a hard disk and at least a 68020 processor. (dr)
