Looks nice.

Edit: Wait...at 1:05 in the video...was that an avalanche?
It's hard to tell by the screen clipping, but there doesn't seem to be a mountain around, that's high enough for such an avalanche to go off.

Has that fuzzy, warm Settlers vibe to it.

WTF? I have never heard of a "juice manufacture" in a medieval (or any other pre-19th-century) context. Game page mentions avalanches as a thing, so I guess that's what it was.
There must've just been a tabletop GM who got ticked off at his players somewhere nearby. ;P

Yeah, I've read that afterwards.
My usual MO with new game releases is:
watch the screenshots, if those are pleasing --> watch the video, if that's pleasing --> read the game's description.

So I wrote my comment after watching the screenies, edited my comment after watching the vid, and then didn't bother further editing after I read the description. ;)

Interesting. Whereas I seldom watch the video(s) at all. =)

Sometimes you watch screenshots and think it looks interesting and then watch the video and realize it's completely different playstyle than you expected. Can help a lot.

In my case, it's because I don't care about 90% of games, and of the 10% in which I am somewhat interested, I wouldn't be able to run at least 60% (nor afford many of those I could run). =]

This looks super cute, there's a charm to 2D city sims that no 3D engine could match. I really like the style, this is probably what the Settlers would've looked like today if they kept true to their original artstyle.

And I enjoy seeing how Handy-Games seems to move more and more from… well, typical mobile phone games, to actual decent indie PC titles. You notice that these aren't just a bunch of youngsters who read a "create your own F2P phone game template" tutorial, but people who want to create a game that's fun to play and that they can be proud of (and who remember playing the Settlers, hehe).

i like the look and feel of it, general lee, but teh... what, 2-3 frames of animation per character isnt inspirin'

What? General Lee should get more frames of animation? Is he more important than the other generals?

Still hoping that, somehow, Medieval Mayor happens.

LOLWHAT? This game is actually "port" of mobile F2P game called same - Townsman. And this is that bother me most. I played this game on Android and can say its decent, nice looking, not template based, with reasonably made production chains, big amount of options,with lot of scenarios and so on. BUT, there is problem - while not being pay2Win, this game on mobile is still In-App Payment centered. you can play it fine without donating ever just by collecting everyday reward and completing certain tasks, but i wonder how its implemented on PC. I kinda hard they simply ripped off payment option without changing ANYTHING so if you play not carefully enough its easy to stuck completely.

Another thing is this game is not exactly hard - once you learn basics its kinda hard to fail. With not biggest effort in almost each map you end with that effective town so you literally dont need to do anything anymore.

Another thing is that 20$ is WAY too much for this game. Its mobile backport! I dont see any logic here, its not like they make huge profit on mobile, and its quite old game anyway, its been around for years, they probably squeezed everything they can already. They made lazy port (not even bothered with anything except Win) and asking THAT price?

Yes, it is a mobile port and I wonder, why there is no Mac or Linux version. Hmm...
