This is a colony-builder of impressive depth and flavor. I should note that this game is in beta, and as such crashes are still an issue. Autosaves every ten or so minutes allieviate this somewhat, and I believe the game is engaging enough to play despite the crashes.

It's also worth noting that Gaslamp Games has an impressively active forum over at their site: www.gaslampgames.com . The forum recently completed its second Community Colony, which ended in complete, unqualified success and in no way ended in flames borne of heterodox spirituality.

It has trade, politics, siege warfare, bitter infighting, Vikings, and lots and lots of murder. In short, a game you could easily spend a summer on.
