Anyone got this? Its on GOG $2.99.

Quite complicated sorta strategy/management type game. Nice graphics though its an old game.

< long intro to the game

Any tips for it would be great... i tried to do the tutorial but it seemed to be broken or something! Its quite hard game though...i survived for maybe 10years but i started off with 1400 cattle and im on about 300 cattle now...

thought it was quite good though i had no idea what i was doing.. My clan ended up being despised by the others and i once got taken the mickey out of by a passing trickster who was laughing at my poverty and crappy clan. Was hard to make alliances because i was so much weaker...a lot of battles i dont really know how i win or lose..or what the significance of difference between attack strategies are. I didnt sacrifice to the gods a lot either lol...

Lost my trickster coz he was a muppet and gave like 50 cows to another clan because he thought they looked funny....had to outlaw him.

its only $2.99 on GOG

You need to have an understanding of the Glorantha world\lore to really "get" the game, and it can be too random at times. Reading the manual is a good start. It's not really a TBS, more of a "role play an Orlanthi chief" game with strategy/CYOA elements. Unfortunately the PC version has no on-going development, A-Sharp are updating the iOS release though.
