Building a new and glorious civilization
The rise in sea level as a consequence of several climatic events - also favored by man - led to a large-scale flooding of almost all coastal areas on earth. The book published under the Publisher Ravenscourt The displacement of Floodland prompts the player to re-establish a group of survivors of this catastrophic flood. The path of this reparation is characterized by the primary task of collecting resources.
In the vicinity of numerous islands and in the difficult-to-access marshland, there are now various small Human clans and their separate resources. As you explore island after island, you will certainly recognize some potential for survival and at the same time have to overcome new challenges. Over the course of the game, settlements will evolve into towns and cities. However, if you want to unite more clans in these, you will also need significantly more resources. As these in turn are limited, a modern form of management must be applied to the development cycle.
Decisions and goals
This raises a number of questions: What are the sometimes hard Decisions must be made? To what extent do these chosen paths influence the development of a new people? And will the gamer even be able to lead this civilization into a new anthropogenic age? But the quantity of people is not the only challenge: accommodation and food supply carry some weight. In addition, the to-do list is extended once again with extensive health care, an optimal water supply and many more task highlights without much effort.

Expanding your own colony is therefore also about upgrading architectures and the complex tech tree. The different needs of a crowd always require specialization and the necessary expertise - and all this with resources that are not quite as plentiful as you would prefer. But where development is possible and prosperity sprouts slowly, conflict and potential discord often play a role in the shadows.
Floodland requires more than just construction strategy
Building a city is important for its own security and a constantly improving infrastructure. During the Exploration In the various areas, players score points for their willingness to help those in need - those who want help in the first place. This increases their creative power, but also their obligation to provide for others.
However, the player must look beyond the end of their nose. Because living together in a society is usually realized through laws. But which language of rules will the player use? Will equality or dictatorship reign? Incidentally, such social decisions result in a host of different opponents that need to be kept in check. It is clear to see that a united group seems much more productive than a divided one. The risk of violent interference in plan A by others should be taken into account and the competitive movement should be nipped in the bud.
But what effect will such an undertaking have on the previously loyal supporters? In fact, bringing together individual splinter groups and sometimes opposing cultural circles poses an enormous challenge in Floodland is a real challenge. In addition to the different decision options, the game experience is also enriched with an almost unlimited replay value thanks to the random principle of maps, events and the general structure of the world. As the city levels up, the technologies that were thought to have been lost and rediscovered over time expand the options for action in the game immensely - the complexity of the survival building hit consequently increases ever faster and gamers can ultimately try out several survival strategies in various attempts.
