So this is another I wish I had a 'maybe' for. I like construction style games, but didn't realize how much of a 'versus' this game has built into the gameplay. I've only got 1 and a half of the tutorial missions under my belt as of writing this, and some of the first mission and all of the second mission has been about building 'undesirables' and using them to hinder my competition. I will admit, I am pretty sure I just grabbed this game on sale as 'oooh, cheap construction game' so I failed in my responsibility to check out the game page where I could have figured out what the core of this game was all about.
In any event, I'll have to wait until I am in a different mindset to try this game further, I was looking for a 'fulfill build orders and/or start with low resources and turn it into high resources via cleverly building things'. I wasn't looking for a 'your competition will be on the map with you and actively sabotaging your lots, and you'll want to sabotage theirs to stay even' kinda game. Way more micro intensive gameplay with the sabotage system being what it is, which isn't bad, just not what I'm looking for at this time.
Plus, I had issues following the directions in the second mission, I'm going to try and restart it and see if it is just me being dumb or what, but sending a hippie to talk to the other hippie and then beat him up with my work team isn't happening for some reason. I've got the work team there, and have tried targeting the hippie once he's outside, but nada. The building was burning pretty nicely when I quit last night, and I wasn't able to get the hippie to come outside again, so I definitely messed something up.
