The Guild 3

I do experience the occasional bug like invisible carriages or floating heads (more often it seems as the game reaches its technical limitations as the simulated dynasties expand causing some lag at later stages in the game), but its fun!

nice

It is fun to manage different building types in different enviroments, but it has some major problems as well. First of all there are a lot of options to roleplay and the athmosphere is relatively calm. after a while though you notice most of the functions are not usefull. Just sending your family members on boast achievements is more money saving then replacing them as workers in one of your buildings, since it saves you having to bribe people for influence (still got to bribe people, but less then otherwise). Also none of the items or options to sabotage another dynasty is usefull, its much to costly. AI has infinite money it seems so they dont care: when they strike back you get continuously bombed, yes, non-stop no breaks in between, their growth is linked to reputation mostly noticable by the robber AI's always growing really fast. But for you as a player paying reputation of several hundred coins per item that barely does anything isnt worth it. Just send a henchmen to kill the faction leader and its done. then there is production and transporting issues: having an order for say 40 fish, or 40 flowers, with 3 workers, will make them grab 60 in total because all 3 workers will be sent to gather the ingredients and they gather 20 each. So after a while you have 400 flowers and you have to remove flowers from the production queue, only to add them back in again later. Next to that transporters will only sell what you dont use in your production queue. So they wont sell the flowers or fish. Nor will they bring it to any warehouse, unless you stop making products with said flowers. So if you want to set up a transport system with a warehouse, you waste space for 2 money making businesses. So in the end I just send the transporters to buy the flowers and focus my workers on the production.... So in practical terms this game is unplayable almost. There is only 1 strategy to apply (boast about your achievements troughout the game, get some production buildings, let transporters buy all the ingredients for your final products, upgrade title, get more buildings, repeat. easy sovereign, just kill all enemy factions who get citizen title. Anything else you do is wasting money and slowing you down. Thats where the roleplay comes in. You can actually follow and torture a dynasty with various items and options quite well. You will lose a ton of money and influence though, but it is possible. Just have to manage your enemies. Dont bother with allies btw, it has almost no function (sometimes they praise you, boosting your reputation, thats about it. Dynastic trade is way to expensive anyway compared to just killing the faction and build your own structure. So yeah, a lot of the game seem to be concepts added that where never really balanced out or playtested, it was fun enough for the price i got it for though.
