Couple’a screenshots up on the Hinterland site. Looks good. Interface seems nice. Doesn’t look like you have a build menu on there.

I couldn’t quite get into Guild 2, but it’s certainly an overlooked game concept.

Anyone else have an itch for a updated game along the lines of The Settlers V and The Guild 2? (very cool games) I was hoping this might be it, but it doesn’t look like it. Still though, it seems very promising.

Fantastic sound it does.

This sounds like it could be the sequel to Stronghold I’ve waited for so long. The AD&D Stronghold from ’91, mind you.

This does sound fantastic.

Hmm… Giving this a bit more though… I came up with…

My Life as a King where you actually do the quests and exploring yourself (with a party) instead of sending random AI adventurers? And all tailored to the more mature CRPG style rather than that game’s JRPG roots? I’m so sold now, even if it lacks the amount of potential outcomes of a standard roguelike or Dwarf Fortress.

Indeed, I’d love if relocation was indeed a possibility, found a new town somewhere else. A very exciting idea of a game indeed.

Judging from the interview you’d start a new game instead.

If you could keep the same characters between games though… :-)

I hope you are able to either control the villages growth, or indeed leave it to its own devices and just try and strenthen it, coming back with a convoy of mules and invigorate the farming for example.

I just want a Dwarf Fortress I can bite, the stories are awesome and make me want to escape to a desert island with it and play forever but the game keeps rejecting my advances with its complete disdain for intuitiveness.

Call me interested on this one.
