Incredibly frustrating that this game feels so broken in its mechanics and there are so many ways you can get yourself in a situation where it's impossible to progress, or you spend 90% of your time waiting around for something to happen. (Unless I've missed something, once you expand past the spawn points for recruits, you can't get any more so if you have no builders at that point you can never build again.) It's a catch 22 because you need to expand out to win, but expanding out eliminates the resources you need to be able to win. Learning the hard way is great IRL but this is a GAME, isn't it supposed to be fun? The pace gets even slower as you get close to conquering an island as people seem to stop spawning entirely, making it impossible to continue doing anything, especially if you have died and respawned with few workers already, basically breaking your game. Would've been good if the game could let me know spending that gem would release a kidnappable human BEFORE I wasted it. I spent a gem to unlock this hermit girl who was immediately attacked and kidnapped. Some things are self-explanatory or can be inferred, but not everything. The game also does next to nothing to explain to you what everything does. For example, once you build a guard tower or a ship, your archers are stuck inside that for the rest of the game, so too bad if you need them to defend your borders from enemy attacks later. Many elements of the game are extremely frustrating. The pace is infuriatingly slow (it takes forever just for you to move around) and you spend the majority of your time just waiting for money to come in so you can actually do something. The pace is infuriatingly slow (it takes forever just for you to move around) and It's not an awful game, but honestly it just isn't very fun. It's not an awful game, but honestly it just isn't very fun. That's how we've been exploring the new objects in the game and we've been having a blast. If you haven't played this game and it piques your curiosity, I'd advice you to give it a shot and not look for much information online figuring out what things do on your own will is so much more fun than reading about it on a wiki. I'm not saying anything else as to not spoil the fun of the game.

I'm assuming devs are aware of this and will fix this in a future update. That can be frustrating, but we've only experienced it once, then read that others experienced it too. The most notable one is the "hermit bug", where some key characters will wander off the camp when they shouldn't, or simply disappear right in front of your eyes.

There are also a couple of bugs as I could expect from any recent release. There are slight frame rate drops when you build really large armies, just as there were in the previous version of the game, but this hasn't hindered play for us at all. I am impressed by how smoothly the game runs on split screen.

But when something is working amazingly, why fix it? Same graphics, mostly same sounds, new music and objects in the world, more upgrades, a new variant (Shogun kingdom - mostly skin, but also some character roles) and a new playstyle, but above all, the most wonderful addition to the game is the capability for 2 players to rule the kingdom with a split screen! Now my wife and I don't have to take turns, we just play together and that is as awesome as anything can get. Yes, the game is very similar to the previous version(s), Kingdom New Lands. There is no undo button (or any buttons for that matter), so you must be strategic and think carefully before you build stuff around. You cannot control your followers, they will do as they think best to accomplish the tasks you request (via investing gold coins on stuff), and sometimes they'll be dumb and not do exactly what you want, but I guess that's just a bit of realism right there.

#Kingdom new lands island 2 upgrade#
You can upgrade your camp and buy weapons/tools for your peasants to have jobs. Cutting a tree requires allocating a gold coin on it, and so on. For example, turning a beggar into a peasant requires you to give him a gold coin. The controls are very simple: you can trot/gallop with your horse left and right, and you can drop coins/gems to interact with the world. In this game you can become a monarch and build a kingdom up from its ruins.
