I open the game, name my place and my character and can open places by tapping on them and then going to the heading to read about them but can't add people or anything, is this really playable?

All resources are set to 0 at the start so I can build nothing. Trying to figure it out. There is also a tutorial video on YouTube but sided help is needed for that.

You can literally create your own maps, so there is no reason to get lost.

By Brad on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

I'm not a fan of the way you explore the map.

I am running into the same issue that others have run into, which is that when I log into the game and create my character and my nation, I can’t seem to build anything or add any people. But I am wondering, if this game is set in real time, so it takes real time to do things? I’m willing to give this game a chance.

Someone must watch the tutorial on YouTube and tell us what they come up with. If you press the how to play button on the main screen of the game, you will be redirected to YouTube.
However, I suspect this game is abandondware since it’s last been updated three years ago. It also says it was last updated by Apple if such a thing is possible.

how good is it?
does it ahve any sounds or music in game?

By Firefly on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

It has in game, music, and sounds. However, there’s an issue when going to build something it always says zero and I along with a few other people at teams, are not sure on how to go about building things when it seems like you can’t add stuff. Went to the YouTube channel there was absolutely no voiceover speech so it leads me to wonder if somebody who is sided was playing the game?

The person playing the game is sighted, they manage to chop and mine for things fast, I don't think that's doable with voiceover.

By Brad on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

That's it, they tap on the pictures and so on.

I've downloaded the game, and it does indeed speak with voiceover, but for the life of me, I'm not sure how to get started with my empire as in, what do I do first? the how to play video has no talking in it what so ever, and I'm not sure how to get started. I have no resources and no population to speak of. Everything's at 0. What do I do from here? I've even purchased the full version. I'm using an iPhone.

While start-up menus are accessible, the actual gameplay aren't. Furthermore, as previously stated, this is abandonware and thus, it may not be wise to spend money on it or even to expect any kind of improvements.

By Panais on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

If he comes to the same conclusion as we did, I will change the rating.

By cyco on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

Still testing game.

By cyco on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - 15:20

Even sighted players are having the same issue that blind players are having. I will try to contact the developer.
I will give a update when I get one.
