It' just so gud'

Really gives the player a sobering perspective on "Life."  Industrial MILITARY power?  You can't eat bullets!

Game guilt trips you @ every opportunity. Even the hotkey menu.

You'll want to do this eventually. Force tent sizes slightly smaller.

This is ridiculous, why can't children be sent as scouts or outpost crew to gather resources.

The game allows you to use them for coal and lumberjacks.

Tp4 thinking about upgrading to a 4090 for this game. It's slightly more power efficient.

FP2, sssssssssssssss it's, not, quite, what, the playerbase, wants.  Yea, it's a creative growth, but as far as the "game", fun factor, ssssssssssssss..

FP  1,  is an amalgam of broodwars-1 and civ-4. 

FP  2,  is more like hearts of iron, (less tedious), but it's leaning quite differently.

Here's the thing, in the base scenario, you end up with 145 children population. If you choose child-labor, it violates ethics, but, 145 is literally 1/4 of the whole population, which means, you could've increased production by at least that much.

Now, the Mission can be beat without doing so, but, it's unrealistic in the apocalypse setting. Maybe don't send them into the coal mine,  but for all the other jobs, it's hard to envision a society that would just let them idle.

Wonder what other Gekhrs would choose.

BaAAAWHHH.... The manchester colony all died.  Tp4 didn't know that there are 3 parts to the relief convoy. Thought it was only the 600wood 600steel, 1 automaton.  But they actually want an additional 2000 food, 2 automaton in part 2, and also 6000coal and 4 automaton in part 3.

Tp4 had the 6000 coal, but no where nearly enough time to post 2000 food.

I guess that did not end well?

Sounds like pretty brutal rouge-like/survival game...

The main story-line is not rouge like, there's minimal RNG.

There are game modes that is RNG, free play style. Good replay value, and you can get the game and the expansions cheap on the grey market.

Ugh... mission 4,  So, you are basically playing the role of FEMA, and rescuing a failing colony. This is very hard, the population starts dying on day 3 already.
