Wow! What a game. I love all the little details I keep finding like the manic pirate with the parrot and wooden leg hobbling around the Pirate's Den.
I'm on my third round and I've pretty much got the hang of it. But I still have some questions. So here they are.
1) I see these huge castles in these screenshots. Do you exercise eminent domain and kick out your inhabitants to make space for the castle, plan ahead for the castle, or put the castle on a new empty island for aristocrats?
2) I have seen a few resources that are too far into the mountain and I can't put the mine building on it. I tried getting the demolition guy to blow some stuff up around there, but even though he just loves to blow stuff up, there was nothing for him to blow up. Are these just bugged? Or is there a way to get at them?
3) Should I wait for independence before I wipe out that annoying woman who keeps yapping about her late husband Oscar? Or will the Queen stand back while I attack her (I'm sure she drove poor Oscar to his early grave with her incessant yapping)?
4) I sometimes have a resource that seems to be used much faster than all the rest. Is the AI doing some Lodge thing against me and secretly raiding my warehouse? For example, even if I have the same number of honey and cocoa plantations, one will accumulate in the warehouse, and the other gets consumed as soon as it arrives.
5) Is there a way to do war where I can declare war long enough to get one little island and then sue for peace? Or is war an all or nothing deal?
6) When Thielen tells me that I'm doing so well that even she'll be under me someday, the text says something "Thielen thinks you are not doing as well as she is." Is she mocking me with sarcasm? Or is it a mistranslation?
7) I read that some people had problems with the patch. Is is safe to apply it? Any caveats?
Keep up the good work, devs. This game is amazing! :go:
