Is it still worth playing?
You found a colony in the New World under a queen, and the game is its economy. Citizens climb from pioneers to merchants as their wants are met, with taxes, trade, resources, disasters, rivals with personalities of their own, and ten scenarios that climb in difficulty or an endless game. This 2006 city builder for Windows came out in Germany in October and was built from nothing after a dispute cut the studio off from the earlier games' code. It cost ten million euros, the most a German game had, and an expansion, The Sunken Dragon, followed. The tiers still have the citizens tell you what they want next, and move up when they get it.
