Interesting, sounds a bit like Tribalwars/Cybernations.

I miss Impression Games.

Signed up for the beta, I hope it’s fun :)

Sounds very Ikariam. Does this have more of an endgame?

Goddam it… I had a problem with Travian when I got hooked into and there I was thinking this wont be as bad – lets give it a go.
2 hours or so later and I’ve yet to close to browser having patiently built 4 or 5 new buildings and already working out how long and when I need to instigate new works so I can continue expanding :(

What, there’s a Halloween pack for Hinterland? Any further details on that?

Yeah, this is nothing compared to the single player. It’s just your run-of-the-Mill browser game. I fail to see how people can enjoy these things.

OH WELL.

Initial report from the beta:

Wow this game is really slow. 15m to construct a building and I can’t start anymore till it’s done. Definitely one to leave running in the background and come back to.

Also, it doesn’t seem to have any music as of yet, which for me was 90% of the charm of Pharoah. (That and the phrases the hunters would say, “Ostriches are nearly invisible if they stick their heads in the sand.”)

@RichPowers

I have no idea what Immortal Cities is like, but I know Pharoah was ruddy awesome. Put me and Reid together and you might even have a proper answer for your question… might…

Warning: You’ll be deeply disappointed by Hinterland.

Oh shit. This is good news. I still play CotN every few months. Wheeee.

Also, wot no πr8 version of Hinterland? BAD PIRATES. NAUGHTY.

Dunno, I’ve not played Pharoh. /helpful

Those who’ve played Immortal Cities: is it anything like Pharaoh, the awesome Egyptian-themed city builder from back in the day?

Sounds excellent! Gotta give it a try.
