Satisfies my egirl needs

This game is very different from others. The foundation; atmosphere, visuals and original concept, has always been the good part of the game. Now when this game first launched, there were so many bugs, dumb ai and unbalanced mechanics/units, that by the time you got to the third island, the game would be unplayable. Builders would just run outside and die, pulling catapults outside and never being able to create new ones even after they have disappeared or moving from one wall to the other outside wall, villagers randomly doing nothing even if there are tools they can use to be productive, and I saw videos where villagers got stuck inside the lake all the way at the bottom of the screen somehow. With that in mind, would I have recommended a new player to trying this game back then? No I wouldn't have.

But now 3 years later, all of the unbalanced units/mechanics have been made fair and most of the bugs are gone now and the game is definitely playable without any bugs. They have made the game better over time with every update adding stuff that people want and that is actually useful. As I am writing this, today they added a difficulty scale and colour on the roman numerals to indicate big attacks and safe days.

With that out of the way, comparing it to the previous games, it is what New Lands should have been and a great expansion off the original kingdom; I wouldn't even consider buying New Lands with this game existing. Statue Boosters from the previous game and new ones only have to be enabled once and then will stay active until you die - they even stay enabled when you go to another island so you don't have to constantly throw money at each statue. They added a very cool new way to finally destroy the big portal in the cliff. There are Spear guys now can get fish out of water even during winter; so if you take too long you still get an income and farmers don't throw their tools away anymore for winter (Which made them a big money grab) now can harvest another crop for only one coin sometime in winter. There are now rotating seasons, so in case of winter you just have to wait instead of rushing to a new island. Every season takes 16 days. Winter is from day 48-64. There now is multiplayer which makes it very fun to goof around which for me was one of the best features they added.

Here are some of the things I found inconvenient back then that took away from the enjoyment of the game that still should be dealt with (Will be updated if changes happen)
- Can't see how many coins the knights have, you just have to try giving them coins and see if they accept them.
- Hermits jumping off when you don't want it to
- Being able to set priorities to builders on what should be done most importantly and least.
- Japanese exclusive unit sucks- fixed and is now too strong.

It's launch was terrible but with their dedicated updates, we now have no bugs even in multiplayer which makes playing this game really fun. This game always had a good platform to build off of, and now that the Devs fixed the issues the community had and consistently listen to us, it's a great game and totally worth the price; one of my favourite games of all time.
