oh man, an accessible civ style game! I've got to try this one.

tbh the map of the game confuses me. It's so damn large i get lost.

the map is odd, I downloaded it, but it causes loads of lag on my phone when I move around on the map.

Okay had a quick look at this.
The game is a complex one, but the access is great, particularly the move to unit and move to city menu, which make swiping around the map only needed to see explored tiles.
One thing which is needed is poking different bits of the screen, since with the map taking up so much space, swiping is less use, indeed it'd be nice to get a straight off list of units or be able to have some bits of the interface in different menus, although poking either the top left of the screen for menu, or bottom right for the controls and commands of the unit/city your looking at helps.

One really odd thing, is the tutorial, since it's difficult to get a step mentioned a second time, or at least I'm not sure at this point how to review a step, got to city creation twice and had to redo it.

It's the sort of game a podcast about would be cool!
I'd also be interested if the developer is adding similar access to some of his other titles, he has a 4x futuristic game, some sort of strategic fantasy affair, and a city builder which all sound great!

Either way, when I've not been up all night I'll give this one another go, since it looks potentially fantastic!

@mojsior, from what I've seen, in the civilization mode at least, the game is still fully accessible in terms of everything being labelled, plus having several options to jump around the map to important things, that being said, the game is pretty dam complex nonetheless, and probably one that it will take a long time to get the hang of.

I'm also really looking forward to both the galaxy mode and the devs other dragon dungeon game becoming accessible.

yes, this plays very similarly to one of the first civ games. It could almost be a faithful recreation of civ I, except that this one already has terrain features, which were a later adition, and there does seem to be a bit more in terms of tech tree and government types. I'm kinda sad that it basically makes no difference what civ you play aside from city names, but one can always hope. I do like the mechanic of having to support techs with your science income, even in the latest civ games once you have a tech or civic you have it for good.

APologies for the double post.

I’ve tried CTMayor, another game from this developer. It’s essentially a clone of SimCity, and also accessible. I’m more of a Civilization fan personally, but this is also worth looking into, and a different experience from many we’ve had in the community before.

What impresses me most about these games is that they are available for free. I would be more than willing to pay a bit to support this developer’s accessibility work. He clearly is able to produce good games which are worth playing, so that deserves all the supportwe can offer.

@15,

I agree, some more convenience features for map navigation would be helpful. I just try to remember my zone positions.

I'm going to contact him today and will certainly mention this in my feedback.

Also, how do you actually build stuff?
I started a new tutorial game and placed 3 residencial zones next to a waterfront, because hey, who doesn't want to live near the water? Anyway, I bulldosed some trees away again and placed the zones and build a powerplant right next to them so both the zones are connected. Thing is now, the game tells me that the powerplant doesn't have any power. I'm confused abit .

Greetings Moritz.

Hello!!
Well, the only issue with this game is the map. It can be hard to know whats going on at times and its difficult to know where your units, cities and resources are at..
As someone said before, the game currently isn't confortable to play.

I honestly don’t know what else they could’ve done to make the map much easier. You are able to zoom to units at any time. There are also reports on which units are threatening your cities, or visible in your territory, which are worth investigating. I think that it might be easier once you get used to the way it works instead of dismissing it as uncomfortable.

You can already do that, in the nation menu, for units, or the cities menu.
