Hi there!
I used the opportunity and grabbed Age of Wonders: Planetfall, since it really sounded nice. Reminded me of a mix of good ole "King's Bounty" (MS-DOS Version), Heroes of Might and Magic and Masters of Magic (Am I right here?)
I downloaded, installed, started the tutorial and.. Ummm... Felt lost.Now you do this, now do that... No real background of how and why and when. After the tutorial I started a scenario (as recommended when coming from the tutorial) and just felt lost on the map.
I had more a feeling of aimlessly wandering about than planning and doing and some connections of how to expands were mere trial and error. I felt a little lost. Combat is fine and hunting ruins for ressources really is like said games, but base building and expansion seems under-explained. I also read a review that said just that: it is hard to get into what to do and how to do it (besides combat). It's nothing like Stellaris which I fired up and felt right at home, with mouseover help and an extensive beginner's guide in the paradox wiki.
Is there anything like that? Or even some place where the mechanics of base building and expansion are explained a little more? I feel I will like this game, just like Stellaris but without proper tutorial or manual it is rather hard to feel like going for a goal.
