I enjoy it,

The good:
I like the concept, I enjoy the era and I enjoy the attempt at realism being made. Is it 100% realistic? Probably not. It does however make an effort and a serious one at that. While there are other trading games on steam this is something new and novelty is nice after all a trading game is a trading game. I like that there is a 2 currency system; credit too and from the Indians, and cash with Europeans/Freemen. It adds a nice touch.

The meh:
Its a little too random. I mean obviously you are trading with the indians for trapped fur, not all hunting seasons are going to be alike. However as of 22/09/22 it feels just a little too random and a perhaps a little too punishing? The nations, You can pick between several diffrent nations to play as/ represent, this give you bonuses / disfavourable traits. While i understand the idea, it does ruin some of the realism aspect,

The bad:
You can stack up pretty huge debt with nobody actually appearing to care, Okay maybe this is realistic, After all what is the tribe of 100 people going to do against your mega F-off stone fortress? Probably not too much, With Europeans however Im unsure how realistic I find it, However I guess this is similar to the credit system?

All in all:
Not going to blow your mind, But if you like trading games (or Early American/Frontier history) give it a go you might just enjoy it.
