Lots of potential, but not yet there

I really like this type of game, and the game is pretty fun. You tell your tribe what the current priorities are and they work on them in their own way. The game looks nice and has lots of potential to be great. There are just some small things holding it back right now.

For example there isn't any kind of research tree. You get new tech by having migrants that know the tech come to your settlement. But these seems to be completely random events. I wanted to start farming, but didn't have the tech and it took more than 3000 ingame years for the right tech to come to my village. But i really needed farming to do something new, so I had to put it on X4 speed for 3 IRL hours while i did other stuff to get the right tech.

And my prospering tribe of 120 people suddenly all starved to death, eventhough I had lots and lots of food, they just stopped eating, so I guess that was bugged...

All in all, had some fun, needs some polishing. A bit too expensive for what we get right now
