- Norland, An interesting new take where colony management from games like Rimworld meets Crusader Kings-like mechanics (Streamed 6/27/2023)

Funny thing about the "looks like Rimworld" claims about the visuals is one of the early knocks against Rimworld was it "looks like Prison Architect".
fair but the UI of this game is pretty much the same rimworld had atleast tried to have a different look and feel
@@kingsway.183 Yeah it is. But as far as UI goes if it functions well for this particular genre/scale of colony management game then why invest a bunch of limited resources in reinventing the wheel just to have something different? Would be a bit like saying instead of having a weapon wheel in our shooter we're going to have a weapon tetrahedron!
At a certain point a well-functioning UI approach basically just becomes sort of genre-standard. Gaming history is filled with tales of torturously designed bad UIs with players asking "Why didn't you just stick with something that already is proven to work?".
Bah! What manner of creative professional draws upon elements of existing work? Preposterous!!! 😆😝
well dwarf fortress started the whole ui thing about colony sims and this game looks much more like rimworld than rimworld looks like PA, they didnt even try to relocate the ui its literally the same and even have the same info/notification thing on the right, if i didnt play rimworld i'd think this is some medieval dlc for it
@@kingsway.183 the ui being similar is a great thing. I’m sick of crap ui design. Not everything needs to be original and good ui should ALWAYs be copied!
Wife is having an affair with the brother right after her rescue. Got the brother married to a lord's daughter and she is having affair with the MC. Meanwhile, they gamble like crazy and lose rings or win them, causing envy. And the gossip, ack......
Dude my brother did it with the kings 1 year old daughter. How is that even possible
Jesus fuck this is cursed
@@denisna9604 hopefully this isn't intended 😅
bruh moment @@denisna9604
hurting each other in training gives me traumatic flashbacks to my ill-fated dwarf fortress training dungeons
my worst one wasnt even from them hurting each other, it was because i placed a well in the barracks and dwarves kept dodging into it and falling to their deaths
At least you tough the ones who lived to be aware of their enemy and the surroundings.
You just gave me an idea......
I'll get back to you.
laughs in dungeon keeper
@@korbetthein3072 how did it go?
I like how all the people in bunk beds were just sound asleep as a bandit was being beaten to death in the same room
Town management is pretty fun initially but gets tedious as the town grows. The combat is way too wonky and RNG-based, the fighting skill level doesn't seem to affect anything, weapons are way too likely to break, and sometimes you can see a naked guy survives multiple attacks while the heavily armored ones get one-shotted. In conclusion, the game still needs some improvements to be enjoyable.
thankfully, the developers are really good at listening to what the players want. A lot of what you just mentioned have supposedly been improved in the last patch.
how did you know? game isnt even out yet lmao
@@R3in_Ch Dude the demo is released like a month ago
we want mobile support will they listen
@@zerophoenix8312is it available for anyone?
Noona means big sister in Korean, but Nona is Latin in origin and means "ninth"! Yes I am right at the start of the video lol, looking forward to watching the rest :)
I did good for 13 days of the demo. Everything was fine, steadily growing, married brother off and he had a kid on the way. Day 14 I had to appoint my wife as heir because she had negative loyalty. Brother was not happy. So on day 15 after I thought it was fine with wife, I reappointed him as heir. Still had murderous desires. My daughter was born. Had to send brother on diplomatic and war journeys. He came back after his own daughter was born. He immediately tried to murder me. MC was in war with his brother. After he won, brother's wife rallied her troops and he was exiled. Now I had a large ish town, a lot of things to be managed, and only two adult ladies. They managed to get to day 20 like that, although a bit stressed. Didn't force them to remarry and just had 4 women. The wives had better stats anyway
AA : "I studied Old English, you know."
Also AA: "Oh no, I need to pay my TEETHS to my lord!"
😂 Teasing aside, "Tithe" is pronounced tie-the. The former is as in 'tie' a knot and the latter like the article 'the'
I think you misunderstand. I am an exceptionally cruel ruler.
I'll interject a comment. Pawns appear to age slowly in RimWorld because time passes so slowly if you're stuck micromanaging literally everything all the time. Looking at Majesty 2 and Norland where npcs handle their own needs and wants by default means time passes more fluidly without the game being permanently on pause. Months and years can pass while pawns learn skills and life their little digital lives. Watching this to ruin RimWorld with its ludicrous commune economy that means pawns have very little ownership of anything and no agency. Where giving them money, taxing them, and trading their labor as work as products or services to other factions and settlements keeps things moving and fluid.
In my first play-through, right after I saved my queen I had a guest duel and kill both my king and a guest lol. I was surprised to learn that you can't then marry the brother to the widowed queen. Something they should implement I think (unless I missed it somehow).
This game looks pretty good. Lots of interesting features. Might check it out!
The king's name (Naoise) is Irish, it is pronounced "Knee-sha".
What does the name mean if there's any? I kinda like it.
Missed opportunity to call yourselves the Scissor Sisters when you were naming your civ
😹IMO, you should get a debuff to your library if you put it beside the tavern! 📢
Why do you think that?
@@calebslusher62 Libraries need quiet!
Far more valid a reason than I initially thought
Women at the first trimester of their pregnancy usally experience morning vomits: that's green bile for Norland
AA, have you ever played a game called banished? It’s a top down city builder about managing a new town like this and resource management , very much your style of game
Banished is a great game, seconded on playing it
Waaaay less micro than Rimworld. I like it.
I really like the art style of this 🤔
Theory: Tax Evasiong was hired to market Kingdom Eighties (a real game, it turns out...) throughout AA's stream.
I wonder if you'd like The Wandering Village? It's a newer game, still being worked on, available on Steam.
He has already done a video on that one.
@@blakenorstad3563 yeah, something about managing a city "on a smooth boi", hahaha.
Damn it, I just got Rimworld... now I must have this!
RimWorld is vastly bigger when you consider game altering mods like empire and Rimnauts. IF Norland has similar community participation foremostly to add modern and spacer type themes great. Being stuck in this time period will get old (for me anyway).
@@DominicRyanOsborne- I'm glad you added "for me", because I think that's a subjective personal thing. I love the medieval style period. I wouldn't get bored of the time period, but adding extra content through the mod community will be amazing still.
Man we need more of these.
The walking animations are so dang cute.
Sends Beorn to die and the man goes beastmode, winning a battle he should've lost.
Just a suggestion, if you want to keep them happy, give them something not rings! give them something a statue, or some type of thing that you have in your gatherings. And then threatened him! I am boss/king hopefully they’ll go up to 100 or close to it in loyalty 😊
I just found out about this game and now you upload this! I love u even more now
I want more of this
submissive and Vassalable
not to be a kpop stan but "noona" is an honorific and isnt used just for a man to refer to his biological older sister but also to any woman older than him (aside from his mother/aunt/grandmother)
I'm really excited for this game to come out!
Tithe is pronounced with a long I sound, Kermit. Rhymes with "glide".
I’m excited for this game. I think it should be out anytime now.
33:53 That bro is just like me fr fr
Hold up. Why does this 0:43 map look so much like the one used in Kynseed. It isn't an exact match, but the placements of areas, and roads just seems so similar.
It this based on a real world geographical area?
the palette remind me a lot of ye olden days of JRPGs
Is that trader some sort of horrible frill lizard-man? What am i looking at?
It actually reminds me of Stronghold
I think agnostic hurts his mood cause he doesn't know it's not he doesn't care but he genuinley can't say
I think this game looks really cool but I think you should be able to make your own buildings like rimworld. I'll get pretty bored using only premade buildings
You PAY your peasants!?
The kings name in the first game is Nee-sha, not nowice
I bet you're fun at parties.
Looks great!
Try and marry Dara off to another castle to improve your wealth
Still on the fence of this title, but it does scratch some itches.
would you ever consider playing timberborn again? it's gotten a lot of updates!
It's funny to me north part of sweden is called "norrland" littelary: northland
I hope they have another demo 😭
Hay is for horses.
It's also like songs of syx kinda
This looks like Rimworld.
Know that you can purchase peasants 😊
Looks great. But that animation style throws me off personally
Agreed. I use Rimworld as my comparison point (I'm sure lots do) and it's a Lil too cutesy for me
@@HerbMandoomI really like the direction they take with the artstyle of the game. Rimworld although rich in mechanics and gameplay always looked kinda dull.
@mindfulinventor3595 sure, hope you enjoy.
I wouldn't call rimworld dull. Probably simple tho, but I've been using all kinda mods for awhile now.
@@HerbMandoom Yeah dull was a bad way to call it. It's just its own style and I always love a good modded rimworld session but at least for me its not particularly pretty.
@mindfulinventor3595 sure sure, Agree with you on that. I like simple textures, so anything that isn't to detailed is good enough for me
How did I never make it to this video. Fascinating take.
i played alot of frostpunk rimworld and dwarf fortress.Tried this last night, was so excited for this game.. i liked the art style but got bored very quickly. alot is happening but it doesnt hold my interest. i ended up just doing things to see what happens not caring of the outcome. traders show up far to often. do the peasants work the fields then buy the produce they make from the markets??? so you pay them to work the fields then buy food so ur at a constant loss? if rimworld had atleast one or two Z levels. doors and levers. and water physics id never play anything else
Z levels would change so much. I love imagining placing turrets up on little towers
you might wanna give 'going medieval' a try. From what I've seen, it's basically 3d Rimworld with many z-levels
@@BullMcCloudz-levels is good, but if you have a lot of mods you need to consider to edit it when it will star braking down
Dude ... I'm in love with you. Love your content! Lol ❤
When is this game available to buy on steam.
2:35:05
Loved trying this game out during steam next, I wish they improved optimization and performance though, I have a 1660 Ti and the game starts to get laggy around day 10
Developers across the board have been terrible about optimization. They have moved the goal post for GPU standards to a standard of 12g of VRAM practically regardless of what their recommended specs say.
I also imagine this game is a single CPU core game, without ALOT of background math taking place all the time. Higher CPU clock speeds are going to benefit you more than GPU or RAM. Thats the experience with both Kenshi and Rimworld as I expand my bases. I play Rimworld with tons of mods to I run rocket man in the background. It basically increases the time check for the status of entities so there is less math taking place in the background. Its also the reason Rimthreaded is a fairly populatmre mod for Rimworld. It allows the bath to be done asynchronously across multiple cores, instead of being done more linearly across one core.
wait is the world map procedurally generated?
You're of Irish descent? I like you even more now my potato brother.
It has great potential hopefully they'd tweak the combat later on, make buildings rotatable, and add more warcrimes. As of now it's doesn't have that same impact as Rimworld did even before the DLCs and mods and I get that they're trying to be original and maintain their own style but as of now the whole thing feels just like Banished with combat and character micromanagement. It gets tedious at some point but boy once they fix and improve this game it'd be another countless hours of my life I'll be glad to waste.
Waiting for you to do a kingdom eighties run. Looking forward to it.
good stuff
Everyone who didn't cringe at brothers leaarning together and hugging and bro to bro-tastic ratio cleaarly never had a brother :'D
I don't know who "tax_evasion gaming" is, but if it was somehow possible to prevent them from flooding your videos with random bullshit, that would be really neat.
If they keeps droppin' bits, they can spout whatever BS they want!... That's the system, folks!... But I agree, it got annoying after the second time.
@@ChrisKChandler Yeah, i'm not particularly fond of the system. I wouldn't complain if it stayed in some kind of side-chat window. But when some random shit flashes almost nonstop throughout the video, it's super distracting.
There are ways to support the authors directly even without annoying others with the nonsense messages.
I kinda get it during certain livestreams, because there can be back&forth with the viewers.
But if it's technically possible i'd prefer not seeing it in the recorded videos.
It's really distracting, constantly seeing shit like "anus_leakage69 resubbed for 242years" popping up in the corner of the screen. Especially when it's combined with some annoying soundbite.
I mean - why? Why have it in there?
They could as well run a weather & traffic infocrawl on the bottom of the screen and DOW index somewhere in the corner.
I'm here for the author and his insight about a specific topic.
I don't particularly care about what other viewers are doing.
But yeah, i do realize that i'm getting old and extremely cranky. :-D :-D :-D
I hate to be that guy but Naoise is pronounced Neesh-uh, it's an Irish name
I hate to be that guy, but no one cares.
I care.
I hate to be that English speaker but that's not the sound those letters make
@@WESLEY_C._RUSHER Actually, Romanized Irish spelling is more consistent per pronunciation than most standard English and Anglicized words; it just follows funky rules. For example, the name Siobhan is pronounced SHEV-in and the word Sidhe is pronounced like 'she' for similar reasons: basically, vowels get smushed together and reduced, S followed by I becomes like standard English Sh, and consonants that end up between vowels get a softened pronunciation marked by an H; B is B until it gets between two vowels in which case it becomes Bh, pronounced like V but still spelled with B to retain the etymology of the word, and same for D but when it gets softened it becomes like the consonant Y.
Standard English and Anglicized words have a lot of similar spelling/pronunciation dissonance but there seems to be a different set of rules depending on what language the word is from, what part of the Anglophone world the speaker's accent or emulated accent comes from, and what he had for breakfast that morning.
I mean the letters C A E S A R don't make the sound "Sii-zr" do they?
@@BizzaroHunteryou're right I am No One and I do care!
NO...STOP...I CANT START A NEW CITY BUILDING GAME....NO!
fuck...
release this game ASAP.
I thought this was a rimworld mod at first and I dont think that is a good thing.... art style is important in setting yourself apart.
@1:46:00 Inflation isn't solely linked to fiat currencies. You can have inflation without it. There are several different factors that can create inflation. Rising wages is one of those factors because companies will have to increase prices to compensate.
@1:32:15 "They don't do this in the military, just fight each other" Like hell, have you ever seen pugil stick competitions in the military? Or watched Russian military training?
I certainly don’t support incest but if Bjorn wants to have sex with men, he should absolutely be allowed to do that 😅

Hello did you play kingdom eighties?
pay your taxes plz
@@degenyakuzano 🤸♂️🥇
MOREE
A little too late of a comment but you say the fertility in this game is high? My characters don't have any fertility debuff and had to sleep like together for like, 5 times before the queen got pregnant...then she miscarried at birthing😭
My King & Queen was basically elderly by the time they have a single child, and my Queen get menopause a few years after.
My brother and his wife also fail to produce a child before they got too old.
But I was *way* better financially and gameplay-wise (?) than you. All of your points about the game, are true, I can see that, but I think it’s just you didn’t get good luck or know how to manage yet. But maybe *I* am the one getting lucky here cuz I’ve never played this type of game before and it was only my second run but I already got most buildings unlocked and financially and military wise great. Your 7 days progress was my 3 days progress, I think. Then again I was really keen on reading...
I did not teach my lords anything, I just utilized their skills and only focus on training the next-gen and getting everything done before my current gen inevitably dies. But then again, I MAY have trouble later with only two lords, which are currently kids right now. One was the King & Queen’s child but one was a random bastard from a soldier and I have no idea how she was conceived and who’s her dad(literally have no relationship with a male parent). But hey, free character AND she’s unrelated to my King’s lineage

1 min in and I'm not sure if this game is an allegory or not, disappointed.
You keep saying you don’t have enough paper you don’t have enough rings, but every time the trader comes to town you don’t buy nothing I don’t know what’s wrong with you😊
I dont understand peoples complaints about micromanagement in this game and Rimworld. Its not micromanagement, its immersion in your pawns lives. They arent city builders or 4x games. I only play Rimworld and colony managers or games like Kenshi BECAUSE you can have the indepth immersion and more micro if you want. I dont want a colony manager where your citizens are just an automated sprite with 0 personality.
