What kind of racist white nationalist game is this? Where's the diversity? I was super triggered seeing a huge wall of white males.

I love that Unreal (Which I spend a lot of time developing in) makes it feasible for a solo dev to just yeet together a nice looking game. Premise looks similar to Kenshi, which I absolutely loved. Kenshi 2 is also in Unreal. Kenshi was in Ogre, which I have had the displeasure of developing in for a few years.

Makes you wonder what a game like Bannerlord could be if they weren't spending so much $$$ trying to roll their own engine.

This could be me missing some context, but I thought you were heavily into robotics/ai/machine learning vs. game engine development toolset development. Just curious if you swapped over to game dev vs. whatever you were in when it was more robotics based.

When you set out houses make sure the plot is large enough, it will have a large + (plus) sign. This indicates you can build a garden on the plot. Super helpful, would recommend.

If you run the demo and don't get a place that has wild game or good flax fertility, reroll the map. Wild game is the best resource for the early game, as it gives year round meat and pelts. Pelts can be fashioned into clothing or sold to traders for a profit, allowing you to buy chickens or goats for the family gardens (winter food).

Once you get to farming, you start raking in the food. Expect a population boom but try to go slow, as there seems to be a chokepoint in the grain-flour-bread production line. My last settlement was drowning in grain and flour and I had two communal bakeries, each with three bakers, trying to feed the whole dang community.

I also had two large granaries that were overflowing with grain/flour. I had six runners on each but they couldn't move the stuff in time.

The Agricultural revolution was legit my dudes.

I played around with the farming last night and managed to get a settlement with 52 families and 20 months of food supplies. Needed 6 full time woodcutters just to supply the town with enough firewood.

I had six medium fields that required 4 workers. Crop rotation is no joke. Two fields for barley, two for flax and two for emmet. One of the two of each will be fallow every year to ensure the soil doesn't deplete.

One guy working on the malthouse, one on the brewery, one on the tavern. You'll supply the whole place with beer.

One weaver and you've got linen.

Now for the emmet. I had one windmill (with one or two workers) and two communal bakeries (three workers each).

With the above ratio I was putting a dent in the wheat, but still had it coming in and just couldn't get rid of it.

Worse thing was the granaries. I had 3 big granaries in the town (each with 2 workers) and that managed to be enough to hold all the food.

I also had chickens or goats on every house. No problem with food whatsoever.

I built the bailey, the manor, the tax office and a garrison tower in the center of my settlement, but at that point I had surplus food and surplus labor, so I didn't have anything else to do. I guess that's when you start conquering territories around yourself, to found new settlements, but that's locked in the demo.

Good game. Would recommend. Only thing is religion doesn't seem to play a huge role which is weird seeing as it is medieval times, but maybe that is in the future.
