Cultures - Northland

If you had played it when it was released, it would have been a legendary game, but now you're fighting to make the game work.

It could be fun, but no way to remap controls, no turtorial, no idea how to play the game, Looks like you have to tell the vikings to eat and sleep one at a time. still can't build any buildings. not fun as it could be

Brilliant, underrated game. This was my first game ever played. I perfectly remember how amazing the simulation and the city building was. Not even Settlers had the intricacies that Cultures has. This is presumably the 2'nd game in the Cultures series although not shown explicitly anywhere. I did not find the original around, unless taking the GOG version. This is the ultimate society simulation and city building...

What could have been a fun Viking strategy game turns into a miserable chore thanks to utterly broken pathfinding. Your villagers constantly drop what they are doing, get stuck on random terrain, and starve to death right next to a full warehouse. The economy system makes zero sense half the time, leaving you staring at the screen wondering why nobody is working. Do yourself a favor and skip this frustrating mess.
