HistoriCity: Florence is a game that sends us back in time to help with the repair of the Italian city of Florence after it had been ravaged by the Black Death.
It turns out that we’re not repairing the city itself but rather we’re building a little settlement nearby in order to support Florence’s repair efforts. We begin with very little, just a house, some wheat, some wood and a builder’s yard, but soon enough we’re building more homes, roads, woodcutters and the like.
We also get to build some very wonderful, very Italian things. There are some nice plazas, a few vineyards and even an olive grove or two! Of course we have the basics too, like wheat farms and a bakery, just to keep things ticking over.
As our settlement grows we gain the ability to build more things and soon we have wine, olive oil, mutton and even statues to go into our plazas! The happier the people are the better their homes are but can we get some super-fancy apartments?
NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

hello lovely people welcome to the geeka but I’m peng and welcome to history City Florence a city Builder game where we get to rebuild the Italian City of Florence so we’re heading back to I think around the 15th or 16th century and Florence isn’t doing very well I’m sorry to say the black plague came along and killed a lot of people everything then began to fall apart of it because nobody was around to do all the things that needed to be done there was a little bit of civil unrest because everything was falling apart a bit all bad things happened but do not worry people of Florence because we’re here to fix everything what could possibly go wrong we build we repair we take on missions we manage budgets which I’m sure we’ll all be absolutely fine because we’re really good at numbers in the geeko we call in celebrities like Leonardo da Vinci to make lovely works of art we just do what we can to make Florence all fabulous again now this is the demo of the game it’s on Steam right now as I record this and as always there is a link to the steam store Page in the video description so you can go and check the game out a little bit more and also have a got the demo if you would like to but anyway here we go away with us to Renaissance Italy Okie here we go mission one rebuilding hope in this demo you’re responsible for an area of rural Countryside surrounding Florence Italy beginning in late 1348 earlier this year the city was ravaged by a pandemic known as the Black Death which devastated the population people soon begin returning from their plague induced Exodus and will need somewhere to live you must rehabilitate this deserted land into a thriving Community good luck thank you very much place a new house next to the existing one and assign your two workers to your Builder’s tent to finish construction your third citizen is a head of household so they cannot be reassigned Okay so we’ve got a head of house concept like we’ve seen with other games recently then build a login Camp next to a nearby Forest to ensure that you can Harvest more wood as your city grows okay so our current goals are build a house and build a logging site and that’s kind of it I’m going to be honest I thought that we were rebuilding the City of Florence itself I thought we’d turn up and we’d have an entire city in front of us that was looking a little bit rundown and broken and we’d have to kind of repair certain bits of it maybe put new things in to revitalize areas fix up the infrastructure and that kind of stuff but no it looks like we’re out in these suburbs if you like so Florence is I don’t know over here just off the edge of the map and we’ve got to build over here to then support Florence so we’ve got to build homes and farms and everything else and get resources together which I imagine will then be sent over to Florence which is over there for argument say to then help the repair effort because I think looking at the map this is all we have this tiny tiny little bit over here I mean the map is quite big and there’s a lot of trees and piles of rocks around and such but in terms of actual sort of you know City stuff this is all we’ve got we have one little house a bit of a road some sort of kind of storage area which has I think that’s wheat that looks like wheat yeah there’s 18 yeah wheat okay so 18 bits of Wheat and over here I think they said that was a builder’s tent so build a tent with I assume that’s 15 bits of wood outside that we use for building and that’s kind of it that’s all we have we have nothing else at all going on on the entire map okay okay right fine so yeah we’ve got 15 bits of wood we have no stone we’ve got 18 bits of Wheat and then we’ve got no olives no grapes no mutton no water which is a little bit concerning that’s a little bit worrying isn’t it I think maybe surely getting some water sorted out before we chop down some trees it’s got to be more important but there we go so no water no bread although that does imply that we can make our own bread which is always exciting games like this and then no wine and no olive oil and no statues okay I like how statues are included on this list we’ve got you know basic essential things mutton water bread and then statues like it’s a kind of a staple standard thing people nip out to the shop and buy water and you know the occasional statue as well along with their bread I quite like that did you buy the water for this week no no I didn’t buy any water I thought I’d buy a statue instead it’s equally as important but okay right so we want to build some St statues apparently which is fun now I think up here we do have some time controls I think time is paused or it’s going very slowly hang on press play can we see that moving ah yeah that is moving okay so I think before we go and do anything else we have to ask a very important question and we all know what it is say it along with me is space bar pause and yes I can happily confirm that space bar is pause I think time has stopped moving which is Wonder well done game good job normally you get some sort of other visual hint like the sides I don’t know glow or there’s something that appears that looks like it’s paused but no I think time has paused that stopped moving again um okay right let’s get building shall we let’s get building um I think that looks like building tools uh that’s a logging site okay how do we build the house is it just there H there we go a basic rural house for 12 bits of wood okay so this is or we can build so if we put that I don’t know there battle do um groups of four houses built in a 2X two square pattern can eventually upgrade into Apartments oh oh that’s quite fun right so if we put another house there and another house there they could eventually become a little apartment building and become better than the you the sum of their parts as it were and that’s quite fun uh click here to assign or release workers okay yes now we need to put people to work over in here okay oh quite that’s quite nice interface okay so I think now unpaused time oh hello out pop the little people the art style is quite nice it does look quite it’s quite unique I would say I like the little hoppy people as well I like the little kind of people hopping around hello little hoppy people can we click on you can we find out more about you uh you’re no that’s not your you’re not called dirt road you are I don’t know if we know their names it’s just a house with people in it okay right so they’re currently working on building this thing okay so that’s going to take a while and then when that’s done we then need to get a logging site I mean there’s a big load of trees over there it will make sense to put the logging site there not quite as many trees there so how about can we rotate yes we can rotate so if we put logging sites must be built near Forest yeah I get that that’s that’s sort of Common Sense isn’t it um can we try and tuck it there look cuz then it covers a lot of forest so if we put that in like that and then how do we build a road do you suppose I want to build a dirt road to kind of come down here but how do we build a road exactly um I’m not entirely sure how we go about building a road maybe the game will help us in due course I don’t know how we do a road right the house is done so yay for the house and then they grabbed a bit of wood yeah I didn’t see how much wood that needed three okay so we have I think the exact amount of wood we need to actually get started yeah which is which is fine that’s okay let’s run time on a bit quicker shall we it’s a little bit slow to build things so here we go you know what run time on super quickly let’s get this done because we can’t do much else so builders that just there okay complete the mission oh here we go oh we get rewards okay so we get a well we’re going to get Barn we’re going to get a wheat field and we’re going to get 27 bits of wood automatically okay so complete that mission right so now we’ve got mission two agrarian expansion okay so I think yes it’s more of a sort of a um a mission based City Builder than is it so we’ve got these goals to complete as we go along I don’t know if we can turn these off I don’t know if these are of tutorial type things but you know what we get lovely rewards so we’ll carry on so it’s vitally important to ensure your citizens always have enough to eat and drink or they will die yeah that that is kind of how that works thank you game thank you for informing me of that build a well near your houses then a barn and two wheat fields nearby so your heads of household can collect water and you can assign Farmers to grow wheat farmers will work in anywhere and any nearby crops sorry that are in season and will otherwise rest in the barn you can use the gam speed buttons to hurry things along okay right so can we now build a road as well can we build a road or is that is that the reward we’re going to get I think maybe the reward is the ability to build a road okay uh right let’s get a well let’s get a well in shall we so the well can go there cuz that seems important we do need some people working in there how many people have we got uh down here three population ah three vacancy though okay are you a new are you coming in are you joining us have you heard about this lovely project we’re running and you want to come and join us hello hi yeah you’re absolutely welcome come on in come on in there’s a house right here for you it might become an apartment NOP going straight in for the sort of food stuff okay that’s you’re taking it into there okay right so get the well put together and then a bar and wheat Fields okay so where’s the barn going to be okay so if we put oh okay it affects right so desirability so I think then if we have farming stuff over here and then build s of s City sort of house stuff over in that direction they’re not going to sort of interfere with each other so if we build a road up past that well that might be okay so if we put the barn there uh okay so that’s a barn and then we’ve got wheat Fields uh that go oh they have to go around the edge of the barn okay so how many do you have to build just two oh okay can we build can we build more than two I kind of feel like we can build plenty of those and make sure that we don’t all starve to death but okay right the well is in which is good the barn is going in and then of course yeah we need other people can we see how many unemployment zero okay we are ah there’s an immigration well there’s all sorts of things attractiveness rating one 100% are you sure game I mean I’m sure it’s very pretty and it’s very rustic what I call it attractive I don’t know house rating 100% economy rating 100% happiness 100% okay these are very forgiving I think it’s fair to say but okay yeah immigration so we’re getting 0.5 half a person is joining every minute well let’s open the following minute the other half of that same person joins and we can stick them together right here comes a person let’s run time on quickly we do need another person to join us right there we go we now have one unemployed person so we could put them to work over here uh oh hang on we can’t do it from there we have to do it in here okay so you go and chop down some trees please because we’re running out of wood and we need a lot of wood to do things right so get that done we also could do with I imagine another house okay so if we put a house just there that’s another house where people can live and then eventually we can get more workers and such okay right run time on nice and quick let’s get this done shall we come on run time on the two Builders are building we are gathering a little bit of wood cuz somebody’s now chopping down the trees which is marvelous yeah we do need more people to come in we just need more people taking a long time to build that Barn takes a very long time to build things in this game okay that’s just fine you know it’s taking know while it’s complicated building a barn right the barn is done and then they can work on all that uh um no vacancies the number of open housing spaces for new residents ah okay right yes so we have no available housing anymore but that house is currently sort of underway I would say um complete the mission okay so now oh there we go yeah we can get ourselves a dirt road now does it cost anything it’s one wood to get a bit of dirt road in oh I like all the roads game uh build a basic roar oh build two two more houses and obain a wheat stockpile okay so basically just keep going just keep going keep doing this stuff uh right we’re going to we’re going to bring a road down like that and it might cost a little bit of wood but I’m sure it’s fine and yeah we have one person left so let’s put our person in the barn put them in the barn and they can just tend to all these fields I think that’s how that works possibly maybe I’m not really sure right so we need to get oh we’ve got two two missions we need to get to a population of 20 and also build a couple of extra houses okay and then get this wheat stock p mean the wheat stock pile 12 out of 12 we’ve got nine okay I don’t fully understand that but it I’m sure it’s all fine we can muddle through they need to get these fields done get those wheat Fields done and then we can have the road coming through the front like that um and yeah you know we’ll put the other house in as well let’s put the other house maybe like that and then oh I’ve put hang on a minute I’ve put the front of the house that one the front of the house is facing that way now that’s going to be very silly hang on can we not do that can we get rid of that yay there we go uh right put that facing that way so we can have a path coming across here hopefully we can get decoratives and put a nice decorative thing just there that would be lovely like a statue or one of these an actual statue that would be quite nice um but yeah we’ll see what we can do look we’ve got people actually growing food we’ve got some Grain on the go just one person one person doing all the all the sort of the farming at the minute cuz that’s all we have but that’s fine uh right so I think they’re working on these roads they’ll get that sorted and then they’ll sort out the housing and then when the housing is done more people can eventually sort of migrate in and then we get more farmers and more people chopping down trees to get more wood and everything’s just going to be significantly better so okay let’s run time on quite a bit then until we have more people living here right there we go one house is done which is good it does have a slightly alarming red spinny thing over it it doesn’t have enough food oh okay no they sorted that out now the person that lives there has put some food in however food is looking a little bit kind of low we’ve got one bit of wheat I assume maybe because we’ve gone into winter I’m going to assume that’s kind of all wintry so in the winter season we don’t get the usual kind of snow overlay to tell us that it’s winter normally in games like this when it goes to Winter everything just gets blanketed with snow you absolutely like clockwork every single time it just snows because it’s winter but um no I don’t think it does that in this game not yet anyway cuz you know demo and everything yeah we do need to get some more people moving in we definitely need more people but we’ve got more houses going in so I think there we go right we’ve got another person let’s put them to work over there growing some food because that’s going to be important oh there we go oh yeah I did um I took a worker out of the Builder thing and put them into the lumber Camp because yeah the wood was being gathered quite slowly so we are one Builder down so possibly when more people move in we could potentially get another Builder back in um okay there we go complete the mission we get a mine okay so now we have to manually upgrade a structure okay and if we do that we get quite a bit of wheat okay that could be quite useful to make sure that people don’t you know die um though houses upgrade on their own once their requirements are met other structures must be upgraded manually at a cost select a structure and if it’s upgradeable you’ll see an upgrade button in the info panel okay so we can upgrade the logging site the simple barn and the Builder’s tent okay so we have to go manually upgrade a thing okay so the barn takes 25 Wood to upgrade the Builder tent is 20 wood and the logging Camp is eight wood okay do you know what let’s upgrade the logging Camp please let’s do that because it’s a bit easier we haven’t got the eight wood we need I think you have to have it actually in stock okay you know what that’s fine run time on nice and quick up to six bits of wood come on go and chop down another couple of trees please or one particularly big tree maybe so that’s now oh we’re still on six I do like how the actual the numbers down here reflect what is actually in the game in the world so you know there are eight bits of wood we can see there well there’s six there and you’re bringing two bits back and look so we’ve got ourselves the right amount that’s quite fun okay hang on a minute so we can now do that upgrade okay that’s upgraded oh it’s a little kind of house now they’ve got a proper roof um okay so we’re going to get a load of food that might well Keep Us Alive and now the next go build a mine upgrade to a stone well and upgrade to a nice rural house that sounds quite fun and then in terms of what we get for rewards we get I can’t tell what some of those things are we do get a lovely tree uh I don’t know what that is but we get a lovely tree and then possibly are they grapes do we get start sort of you know having our own kind little Vineyards and things do we get wine okay I do not know um also how do we upgrade these because it said these were going to become some sort of apartment type structure but they haven’t yet I don’t know how that works and also we do need a great big pile of wood we need more wood to build more roads um what have we got three people three more people can move in and one person is unemployed okay so how about then we get one more person over there Gathering well farming and doing sort of important stuff and then can we have another person over here eventually chopping down trees to get more wood so we can do more building I think that’s what we need to do initially we do need to grow the population a bit and I think here over here we just put another four houses let’s do that as well actually hang on 12 to get another house so drop that in like that that’s going to take a while to get sorted out and then the rest of it um I want to get this um hang on oh there there we go I didn’t I didn’t click it right but never mind like that and then up like that there we go so a path leading to our lovely Barn because that makes sense because a bit weird if you don’t have a path leading into the barn right okay run time on very quickly let’s try and gather lots of wood are you a new person hello new person are you going to be the head of household however I think so okay so they’re ahead of household so now when two more people move in we can then put another one to work in there Gathering a lot of lovely wood and then maybe another into the barn to make sure we have a decent Supply food I think that’s what we do so let’s get that done let’s get that done and then eventually when they’ve chopped down enough wood we can also get these bits done here comes a new person hello new person how are you um would you like to go and chop down some trees I’m sure you would I’m sure you’ve long dreamed of being a wood cutter you’re a lumberjack and you’re okay right there we go the road to the barn is finished and if we look at our workers there are now four people out of four working over in the fields three people out of three working in the lumber camp and then we do now have two Builders which is quite good so I think now we can work on this so we have to build a mine let’s go and find where that is so build a mine uh just there okay so mines must be built on Stone deposits um oh okay hang on there’s a stone deposit over there is that oh there’s one over here okay that’s a little bit nearer okay yeah it’s hard to see with the overlay thing on uh right let’s get that in over here then uh it goes like that that’s the way it goes so pop that in like that and eventually we do want to get a road to it but I think now we just let them get that sorted out let’s just let them build that thing that might take a while and then upgrade to a stone well upgrade to a nice rural house so how do we do that exactly to upgrade this basic cural house requires one water to and a desirability of one it would then become a nice rural house okay but how do we increase the desirability how do we make it more desirable around it I’m not in oh is it with the stone well I assume if we upgrade that to a stone well people like that a bit more it makes those houses more desirable they then upgrade and we complete this goal okay okay but this is all fine so that’s now going to be oh c ke is okay it’s got It’s got a way to go to get all the materials in um food looking very good food looking wonderful they’re not storing it in the kind of storage thing here oh it’s the Town Square Oh I thought that was like a sort of a storage area but no apparently not um do you know what we will do for now let’s put another builder in let’s get another Builder assigned and in fact in comes somebody else you can also become a builder because we might as well assign everybody to jobs as it stands right now and then we can take them out of the Builder job and put them over here when this is finished and in fact that’s going to be done very soon indeed okay so then I think no not that that take two people out of there and put two people into there and then we will get another house set up let’s build two houses let’s get that all sorted out shall we just get this bit done so house and yep facing the right way house and house work on that that means we can get our population mission one done as well eventually um but yeah we do need some more workers it would be good if we could have four Builders permanently kind of um sort of uh yeah on duty as it were so we have got one more person let’s for now assign you to just there assign you to go and gather some Stone so okay right so the mine is built we need to upgrade to the stone well and then get our little houses upgraded okid do right so first things first let’s try and gather a half decent amount of stone right there we go the well needs four bits of stone to be upgraded we have four bits of stone so yep let’s work on that please and there we go I think some houses are upgrading already which is marvelous not that one oh there we go yeah there we go they’ve all upgraded right so let’s take these so an olive press right it’s a Vineyard but then we have oh it’s an Olive Grove an A V oh yes okay right now we’re getting into it right okay so complete that mission we now want to upgrade to Luxurious rural houses the next level of housing requires a higher level of desirability provided by structures like Stone Wells and plazas it also requires delivery of a luxury resource either wine or olive oil I mean why not both let’s have both you need to build either Vineyards or Olive Groves and have Farmers tend them while they begin to produce as well as a winery or Olive press to process their eventual output okay yeah that’s fine that’s okay how do we build a plaza How do we build a plaza is that in here as well or does that come a bit later that might be a bit later okay okay oh oh population mission one is done we can build a pasture we can have a bakery yes okay bread is a more efficient use of wheat than eating it directly are are people just literally eating raw wheat just picking up a handful of Wheat and just and just Che chewing on it really that’s that’s Bonkers they can’t be doing that and then a Stone Road oh there you go a small Plaza plazas provide desirability which allows houses to upgrade and can be increased with a statue okay right I quite like the idea of building a plaza over here like a little square or maybe over here look can we build no there’s trees there we’ll have to build it over there um okay resources are looking a bit low yeah we are building two more houses which makes sense what’s the have we got a desirability overlay type thing like how far does the desirability of that well reach I suspect maybe it doesn’t reach to these houses here because they’ve not upgraded bother okay okay what we’ll do is then so there’s a Stone Road there’s a plaza oh okay right I thought we build them a bit like we did the roads but no they’re kind of like a a set thing I mean where do we put this where do we put our first lovely shiny new Plaza you know I think we spoil our people and bu build not one but two plazas because we’re all fancy pans so I think we build one there and one next to it there so the people who live in those houses can walk out into a beautiful Plaza that’s got to be good hasn’t it so if we put that in let’s do that one first look so pop that one in like that get that done I didn’t even look at what the build requirements were uh 15 only 15 Stone that’s not so bad uh we’ll have another one please let’s put two plazas in um and then oh yeah there there’s quite a lot of building work going on um oh hang on no work sites in range oh yeah that is a bit of an issue isn’t it um can we change your work area can we do that um nice logging camps employ more wood cutters can chop trees from a larger surrounding area and can hold more wood okay so do we either upgrade that or do we knock it down and maybe build one over here because there’s a giant pile of trees over there I say a pile of trees there’s a lot of trees which can become a giant pile of wood is more what I meant um maybe that’s what we should do so carry that on up there and then just build another login Camp over there the only thing is oh hang on we haven’t got any right we’ve got ourselves into a bit of a situation here we haven’t got any wood but we can’t do any upgrades because we haven’t got any wood okay hang on have they put any wood into here okay right what we’re going to do is they’re currently building that house this is a little bit of an oversight isn’t they’re building that house right there um all right do we get no okay I was thinking maybe if we get our population up can we get some wood but that’s not going to work and that’s not going to work okay right so we do have a little bit of a situation can we build a new logging Camp thing it requires three bits of wood what if we told them to not build this house don’t build any of those houses please so don’t build that house and if we tell them not to build that house do we get all the resources back I’m hoping so I’m going to press the button and find out what happens okay we’ve got six bits of wood which I think we need to build a new login Camp over there um also we could potentially demolish that one as well I maybe that was the better option but whatever we’ve done it now so if we get rid of that okay we’re up to eight bits of wood right so not brilliant but it’ll have to do and then if we put the logging site just if we put it right there and then eventually it can expand and try and cover all of these trees I don’t see any of way that it can go so if we put that like that and then make that super important prioritize that please make that the most important thing uh we’ve got five people now out of a job oh dear okay right that’s not g entirely according to plan but I think we might have possibly kind of rescued the situation and they’re taking the wood from here to over here so very soon we should be able to get that up and running I think uh they’ve started work on a bit of it oh no it was three bits of wood they took over right brilliant okay one two and then can we upgrade that as well for eight bits of wood possibly no we can’t right now but as soon as we get eight bits of wood we’ll upgrade that and then put three people to work into it and then it’ll all be fine maybe if we could upgrade it again that would be quite good just to make sure that we was on top of the wood situation because we did sort of let that slide a bit then and it could have been quite bad so uh yeah maybe we’ll just do a couple of upgrades on this okay first upgrade is done we now need to get ourselves a bit more Stone to do the next upgrade but I think the stone is going onto the plazas down here which is fine that’s okay so with the wood that we are gathering now let’s put a house back because we could do with another house to get some more people moving in so pop that in in the meantime we’ve maxed out how many people can work in the mine and over in the Builder Camp thing and over in the farm and food is looking okay food is looking sort of okay so I’m quite happy with all that so I think once that’s being upgraded that’s now full of wood as well so once that’s been upgraded if we could just get a tiny bit more Stone what they they need 10 more Stone to go into there b the r okay never mind so that Plaza can go in first and then we can get that upgraded we’ll put all the remaining people to work in there and then we can go back to trying to do these goal things over here and I do like this the pursuit of luxury what lovely things do we get out of that there’s two very fancy buildings there so it would be good if we could try and do that I did notice um I looked on here the demo does have a timer so we only have 52 minutes left and I don’t know if that kind of takes into account the fast forward super Speedy time thing set game speed to peragine Falon I didn’t realize it had names hang on so pause game regular speed is mule uh slightly quicker is Stallion and the faster is his parag Falcon oh that’s quite fun oh I quite like that that makes it a little bit kind of different doesn’t it um why have they not got oh okay right food is ready everybody come and grab yourself some food it’s all going to be fine right here we go so can we now get ourselves in a stone to sort this out we need one more bit of stone and then the logging Camp can have an extra person work there we go boom okay and it covers a wider area Okay so put uh one two three people into there perfect and now we can start building toward other things we can get ourselves these things in I maybe Where was the where was the bakery was the bakery something we can now build or was that something we had to work toward no there it is a bakery so I think we’ve got ourselves two unemployed people so could we build a bakery and then put them to work making lovely bread to make our food go a bit further and you know what what better place to put a Lovely Bakery than here on the Plaza I don’t know where the front bit that look like the back bit so yeah the plaza can go there that looks like a little sort of uh a point of sail just there doesn’t it we’ll pop that there yes get that done please that’s going to be quite nice and then we can make better use of the grain rather than people just you know eating dry grain we can give them some bread which might you know possibly make their lives a little bit better I would have thought so right let’s get that done let’s get that done as well and then once the whole food situation is sorted out we can then think about doing all this other stuff about getting ourselves I mean yeah really we’ve got the plazas in the bakery is going to be in so yeah we need to get these in so we could get ourselves a Vineyard get ourselves a Vineyard and an Olive Grove I do want to get both I do want to get both um oh hang on people like being near the olive Groves do they um how does this work do you have to put them next door our Farmers must be built near a barn Some Farms increase as our ability the surrounding area allows allowing houses to upgrade okay so Olive Groves people like Olive Groves um what about what about Vineyards and people like them as well okay that’s interesting I think we shall put ourselves in barn down here then so let’s get another barn in over here oh basic Market okay we need to get that done as well but yeah we’ll put the um put another barn in just here opposite the other one so pop that in like that that’s going to be quite nice we need a bit of road going in B rations we’ll put a bit of dirt road in for now there we go right so get those put together as well as this we need oh we need quite a bit of stone we need quite a lot of stone for that okay well that’s not going to be done for a while then that thing okay right never mind never mind we can wait we got two more jobs going I think every everything is currently sort of fully occupied there are no vacancies um okay yep the next thing then is going to be the bakery let’s run time on until our Bakery is complete okay here comes the bakery and not a moment too soon because over here there is a house with a big skull floating over it which is never a good thing right over here please give as many people to go and make lots of lovely bread thank you very much so um yeah I assume do they take they’re going over there they grabbing a bit of wood to burn to put into the ovens to burn but then once I’ve got that it should be fine um yeah I don’t know if we’re losing if we’re losing people due to starvation I don’t think we are I don’t think we are I think it’s okay at the moment but yeah we are going to need some more food I mean potentially we should make this another wheat farm and then once that’s in think about getting ourselves the other fancy stuff about getting you know the olives and the wine and all that kind of stuff but I think maybe just sort out basic food stuff first because it was looking okay and now it’s not looking quite so okay so do you know what yeah we’ll get another wheat field in it’s not overly exciting but I think it’s probably the most prudent thing to do to make sure that our people don’t all you know sort of dive starvation a bit oh no look we have a thing here that says mortality the number of people who have died and we have a one oh no somebody died okay right that’s not great that’s not great people eat three food items per year one of which can be a luxury item and drink one water per year oh that’s fabulously Frugal isn’t it okay uh right so yes we do need I think to get some more food in I think have they got any Wheat no they’ve got uh they’ve got no grain they’ve got no grain so they can’t actually make any um they can’t make any bread which is probably not overly handy for a bakery how about we get another house get another house in that can be more people to go work on that farm there and then eventually that should hopefully sort things out there’s a lot of oh dear there’s a lot of hungry people in these houses have we expanded too quickly I’m not entirely sure but the builders are trying to work on this over here which is good the builders are working on this think maybe prioritize that house let’s get that house sorted out please because yeah we’ve got no open housing spaces we might possibly have a vacancy soon because there is a slightly ominous looking skull once again oh dear okay right we need this we need the wheat field to be ready okay right we have wheat and I think are we now making bread baking progress okay right we’re making bread I mean this is yeah this is a huge moment normally in any kind of settlement build a game but this is particularly crucial for us because everyone’s starving people are starving to death a great deal so if we can make lots of lovely bread and you know feed them for longer and make it work better then yes that’s got to be a good thing um right that house is in so now when people seven people have done oh dear um right yeah we’re running at low capacity at the moment I mean maybe that’s a little bit more can we take maybe somebody we’ve got plenty of wood got a lot of wood hang on a minute hang on take people out of there we’ll have one person uh one person chopping down trees we’ll have four people B and what else have we got six spots for people to go and live how about we take people out of there and put people into here so we’ve got two locations growing wheat so we don’t all starve to death again because that was kind of bad there wasn’t it so okay right let’s run time on let’s get those two Fields finished I don’t quite know why that house has oh no one lives in that house so it can’t get the water in so it can’t upgrade itself okay that’s fine so we once that field is finished once they’ve built as it were that field which is weird how’ you build a field I don’t know you built out of wood apparently but there you go once that’s done we should now have plenty of people and you know what put another person in there as well so eight Farmers growing wheat that should hopefully then mean that people don’t starve to death um and then yeah we’ve got five vacancies now in our houses so let’s try and top our population back up shall we Sorry everybody okay so whilst I was waiting for everybody to move back in we did did have a little bit of a technical Gremlin the game decided to crash which was a little bit unfortunate so I’ve loaded it back up and I’ve done pretty much exactly the same things again I think it should look more or less how it was we’ve got the houses over here and the bakery there and the two Farms over here and the stone Camp thing there the only real difference is that we’ve got the lumber Camp back down here now so it started here and then it went over there and then it’s come back down here again because I noticed that the trees do road back so we’ll put it back down here and then when those trees are gone we’ll pick it up and put it back over here again so that’s okay and then we have a road over here linking up the stone mine just so we can get the stone a little bit quicker but I think everything else is pretty much the same although I did get the other farming nice and early this time which meant that nobody starved to death which was quite good so we’ve got no more tality so far which is much better than the last time so there we go all looking good so now I think we need to to look at getting our luxurious rural houses in so we’ve got to get ourselves either wine or olive oil but yes why don’t we have both so I think over here let’s get a nice barn and uh yeah we’ll put it with these because you know this can be the place where we grow all the stuff uh we’ll put it there like that and then we shall get ourselves I mean let’s start with let’s start with wine shall we let’s start with some lovely wine just pop ourselves some of that around there like that and and um then yes we shall have a little road that comes down like that wonderful so that should be okay they should be able to get that done the only thing is we’re now not going to have enough people to go and work over there so I think we need to get some more houses and maybe they could live over here they could live next to the bakery on the Plaza I mean that’s surely that’s like super desirable residential right there you live next door to a bakery imagine the lovely smells you’d get so I think let’s get ourselves a couple of houses so one and two um maybe just two for now just two for now so when everybody’s moved in that’s going to be what four more Workforce which I think should be enough people to go and work in the bar to deal with the sort of Vineyard stuff but then we’re also going to need more people to then where’s the other thing where is it that turns the there you go Turns The Grapes into wine so where do we want to put this I mean maybe over here look maybe over here there’s a lovely Gap right there where that can go so pop that in like that and then we will get ourselves some more housing going in like that and another bit like that okay right so that looks like the plan now one thing I have discovered about this game is it is quite slow it’s quite patient and you know sometimes that’s quite nice in a game like this but you know people are just of taking their time nobody’s kind of getting around to building things super quickly I mean the barn is in which is quite good we haven’t got anybody working in it and there’s no fields for them to work yet but it’s going to take a while to get this sorted out we do have four Builders we’ve got four Builders out and about so they are trying their best to get everything done as quick as possible but yeah it takes a while it’s it’s a slower paced game I would say which is okay you know if you want that kind of thing then that’s absolutely fine but uh yeah it’s going to take a while to get all this done I think even on the fastest game speed but I mean yeah that that’s it in but now we need the houses do you know what we’ll do let us prioritize those two houses get those two houses done because then people can move in and then whilst people are moving in we can then get on with the rest of the building work that would make a bit more sense wouldn’t it I think yeah they getting on with that already uh no okay there is quite a lot of wood we’ve got a decent amount of wood so we should be able to get that in whenever the game kind of freezes like that the game does kind of Freeze from time to time I do have a fear that it’s going to crash again please don’t crash again game it took a long time to get back to this point I don’t want have to do it again um right they have no food but I think once the head of house arrives there we go look yeah they’ve sorted it out got a decent amount of food we do have two unemployed people oh okay put them into there then absolutely wonderful so we should start seeing grapes appearing which is going to be quite exciting okay so grapes can be a thing this is good good um and then there go another house is done hopefully that should upgrade as well I would have thought that house eventually when somebody puts some water in oh yeah nobody lives there again that’s why it’s not upgraded but as soon as somebody moves in I suspect yeah they will very quickly upgrade that house uh let’s put another person in there so all the sort of rolls are full right now which is good that’s a good thing yeah picking up lots of wheat got a full sort of load of people in the bakery chopping down lots of trees so yeah that’s now ready to go that is ready to go the next thing is going to be this so get the uh yeah the sort of the winery type thing in and it looks like they’re already working on it they’re already working on it so the stone has gone in and it’s just a case of a couple of bits of wood which I think are being bought in so I think what happens is when the stuff is sort of planned to be delivered they can start working on it so they can do some stuff and then people come along with the last kind of things they need to do the building and they can then finish off the process which I do quite like that makes sense right there we go we have ourselves a lovely Winery okay but now we need some people to actually go and work in that Winery so we’ve got three housing spots left here comes a new person but are you going to be head of house no there is already a head of house okay you can go and work in the lovely new winery so you can go make us some nice wine uh we’ve got a a decent amount of water I built another well I built another well over there too because yeah I think they were running low that one kept running out and people were thirsty so I popped another well in over there uh oh hang on a minute we’re back to this silly situation where we haven’t got enough wood to ah this is very DFT uh okay demolish that that gives us that gives us two wood okay right which one of these houses do we take the wood out of that one this is okay this I do find a little bit kind of silly um okay you need to we need to be able to move their work Zone rather than having to constantly move it around which is a bit fiddly um okay we will uh destroy that there we go this is a bit faffy but never mind and then we’ll put that back uh over there like that and prioritize that please so get that done as soon as possible and then put all the people back to work in there as soon as possible because yeah we need some wood completely out of wood so we can’t do much else but we should we should be actually making some wine at some point eventually have we got any grapes I don’t ah I think maybe because the grapes haven’t grown yet so I think we’re going to have to wait a while again lots of waiting in this game it’s it’s a patient game um and yeah we can’t even upgrade that can we right put two people into there please two people into there run time on quick uh we’ll pop somebody else into the winery as well because why not right you cut down trees super quickly please we want much in the way of wood and really we want to get eight lots of wood so we can upgrade this to get another person in so we can get even more wood so yeah let’s just run time on we’ve got another person there is a person available oh we’ve done it oh no it’s population Mission okay so we can get ah a granary a cobblestone Road and a large Plaza okay right fancy right complete that mission that’s good so yeah I want to get this one done now I do want to get this oh they’re taking the wood straight into the house uh do you know what that’s okay that’s okay if we get that house done then you know more people can live here and we can deal with more jobs and such right there we go nine bits of wood let’s upgrade that and assign another person to it boom right okay looking good and we have two spare people as it were so two additional people um let’s get another house let’s get another house in like that um okay what other things can we build then so we can now build the ground granaries employ Granary Keepers to stock The Granary with wheat which pres prevents it from spoiling at the end of its harvest season okay so that is kind of for the Grain and the basic Market can stock bread mutton wine and olive oil okay I mean we are going to have wine and we are going to have bread so maybe do we pop a little market maybe at the end of the plaza look that might be quite nice so pop our little market um I don’t know which Ro around it supposed to go just there look that’ll do we’ll put a market just there um and then yeah they can they can stock up with bread and such like in there and yeah that got lots of grapes are we making any actual wine the vinification progress is slow okay so we’re not making that much in the way of wine but I think yeah they’re stocking it up I think they’re stocking it up uh what are they doing here we need wood lots of wood over here so yeah if we could get on with that that would be great that’s another fun thing uh and then it can’t be too long until we do get here we go here we go we’re going to get a fancy luxurious rural house going on because they’re going to be drinking wine oh look hang on the people are actually in the vat so the more people we have working here effectively The Stomp here they can be cuz they can just stand on all the grapes okay right I like that that’s good we’ve got we got Lads of spare people why don’t we put a couple of extra people in there you know more feet equals more wine as as the old saying goes I mean yeah there you go there’s four people in there now just kind of jumping around brilliant there you go have fun you lot right there we go so it shouldn’t be too long until that gets done the market is also going in got two spare people so potentially when that’s done we could put somebody to work in the market yeah two people can work in there that’s all good uh we can always take somebody out of there we can always take somebody out but there we go we’ve got wine somebody provide here we go we must have upgraded oh we need eight we need eight of them oh there we go we’ve done it complete that mission we’ve got fancy housing yay okay um what did we get click here to manage Easter Service what okay what do we do with this Easter service requirements we need 12 bread and ate wine oh okay or we could have a really extract let’s have a little Easter Service we’ll have a we’ll have a modest Easter Service we’re only small um okay so we can now do an Easter Service thing which I guess is nice what else can we do then so we’ve got a large Plaza um oh that is very big that is very big and then we’ve got a tax office to collect money okay and then an Emporium they employ Merchants to collect and trade goods for money oh that might be quite useful um okay so we could do that we are going to need I think maybe uh I we’ve got 10 housing left oh do these accommodate more people as they level up yes they do okay so more people can live in the fancier houses which is good um I think then now we’ve got that done let’s get another barn pop that over there like that I think that tree might be slightly in the way but it’s will work around it no not like that though like that there we go get that done and then over here we shall have an Olive Grove so let’s get that in so sort that out like that and then we’re going to need the thing that works the olive so an olive press uh we’ll get one of those in there because that makes perfect sense we just pop it like uh yeah like that I don’t know what the arrows mean is that sort of goods in and goods out possibly I’m just going to put it there like that and hope that’s a good thing uh right there we go so run time on nice and quick what is that oh there’s the desirability overlay I was looking for that earlier okay right NOP that’s all good that’s all good right so a great big building project over there um how many trees are left in their range that should be enough that should be enough but let’s just allow them to get another load of trees let’s do that shall we and also so we will have another person working in there because we need lots of wood we need lots of wood to do all this building so right get all that done apparently they’re hungry I mean that’s on you guys that’s not on me I provided a lot of food you’ve got grapes you’ve got bread you’ve got wine you’ve got wheat I mean you know you go back to the old days just Gore on the wheat if you want to but no there you go they sorted that to um okay right let’s wait for them to get all this sorted out and then maybe by the time time that’s all set up we should be able to get people in we have had two people die I didn’t see when that was when was that okay that completely avoided my attention but never mind um how about as well we get some more housing in we’ve got oh no we’ve got 12 housing capacity left how about we get one more house and we put it just there so you walk out onto the market that seems quite good I like that and then I think yeah we could have a pasture to provide some mutton they consume water and produce mutton okay so I think is that one of the only other things that we need to build possibly and then a large Plaza what do we need to build the large Plaza uh 25 stone and five wood you know what why don’t we build one of those over here because we can so let’s build in fact if we build one there and then we can just build houses around it I’m going to put one in like that oh okay we’ve completed the mission which is good we’ve stocked and completed Easter Service I didn’t even notice that was a thing um right okay so complete that we’ve now got an artist Workshop statues okay yes we’re going to our statues and a fountain okay that is interesting how big is the fountain it’s little okay so where could we fit a fountain uh I think maybe do they go in the plazas do they go in the pla no they’re their own little kind of unique thing uh why don’t we put a fountain uh I was going to put houses around here houses want to go there so why don’t we get a fountain and put it there like that there we go that’ll do that makes the area look quite pretty uh and then is that done yes okay right we need people working in there then please so 1 2 3 four people in there uh move time on quick we haven’t got four people working in The Vineyards can we get another person moving in can somebody join us we’ve got plenty of housing space so yeah somebody in there and then we’re going to need more people to actually work in the olive press thing so uh yes we get one more person moving in that would help us sort that out and then we’re going to grow the maximum amount of grapes we need and then we can make lots of lovely wine but right okay let’s go back to waiting for them to just do all of the stuff um how are they doing over here again we have to be sort of acutely aware that we do need some wood to sort of rebuild this thing but I think they have got a few trees left to cut down so that should be okay yeah they’ve got I don’t know a good 10 or so trees so that should be fine okay right so let’s wait for more people to move in in fact you have just moved in so we’ll pop you into there grow lots of grapes and then um yeah now we need to get ourselves some what is that yeah the olive PR press let’s get the olive press put together oh did I miss this before is this the Easter celebration that they’re doing oh that’s quite fun look they’ve got I don’t know where that what’s going on there they’ve got a a floating Bell type thing which is possibly a bit weird but everybody’s popped back home and they’ve come back out in their sort of their Finest Clothing they’re wearing all their best things they’ve got sort of fancy clothes on and now they’re all just kind of having a great big I don’t know party dance I don’t know what they’re doing but they just a lovely time I assume that is that then that’s the Easter Service okay yeah that’s fun I like that that’s quite good I like they go and put on their best things that’s quite nice and what do we have to do what are we supposed to do now I’ve not s looked our existing sort of current mission mission 8 elevated living luxurious rural houses in a 2X two pattern can upgrade into Apartments ah okay yes we sort of planned for that to happen way way back to upgrade they must have high enough desirability and be stocked with two two different luxury goods and your city must have a sufficient religious rating from hosting successful Easter services okay there is our religion rating so it’s on 90 happiness is 100% the economy is 60% which isn’t great but I’m sure it’ll do um so yeah you can choose to produce second luxury good domestically or build an Emporium and trade for it uh oh no no no we’re doing it over here oh actually hang on a SEC uh we’ll put we’ll put three people into there three people can go over here and they can start turning the olives that we have we don’t have any right now but they can eventually start turning those olives into olive oil and that can be another luxury thing and then where was the where was the thing they’ve not finished the large Plaza yet I don’t quite know why they’ve not done that yet but where was the there they go an artist Workshop oh that cost 75 75 money to build and we don’t have any of that yet okay we’re going to need to build the um the trading Place wherever that was we need to build one of those where was it um in here was it the Emporium okay yes we’re going to need to build an Emporium uh that could potentially just tuck in there that’ll do pop that in please again you’re hungry no excuses there’s loads of bread there’s loads of grapes and there’s loads of wheat so again that is on you being hungry that’s not our fault oh hang on a second hang on the the logging camps run out of wood this I this does need looking at there you need a work area rather than having to kind of knock it down and rebuild it all the time uh right knock that down and build the new one um I mean yeah back over here so it can cover all those trees uh yeah let’s go for that let’s go for that pop that there and get that done as a matter of urgency please there we go back we go to faffing about with chopping down trees but yeah they’ll get there in the end okay we can upgrade the new logging site boom there we go put some more people into that thank you and over here we’ve completed our third population Mission so what do we get a basic rural Church okay that sounds quite nice that sounds okay yeah the big thing now is trying to get the olive oil sorted out so I think are we even near to Growing any olives are these even near to doing anything produces after fourth year of growth oh CES okay that’s going to take a while people are complaining about a lack of water which is a little bit weird but you know what we could do to maybe sort that out um let’s get another well uh where is he just there we put that uh just there pop that in uh the new Plaza is in by the way the big Plaza looks very nice looks very lovely Big Trees nice kind of plants it’s got the fountain next to it but yeah if we could get that well in and then upgrade it that would be quite good I think we should have we should have more than enough wood we should have more than enough wood um this is potentially quite disruptive this Easter thing so to keep your religion rating High you have to do the kind of the Easter Service thing but it does take them away from doing their jobs so they all go over here and have a little dance around and go yay we’re having a fun time but they then don’t go and do any work which doesn’t overly help it’s not overly handy and then everything just slows down uh right okay so let’s build this well we shall also put a couple of people to work in there so we could potentially sell some stuff and make a bit of money which would be quite good uh we’ll upgrade that well okay so that’s now a stone well so I can hold another eight water so we should have plenty of water yeah yeah look people are just all starving now this is a bit strange Maybe with our spare people we should think about getting some mutton let’s get another food source in shall we just for fun uh where does that go where is that a pasture pastures attended by Farmers to raise sheep oh do we need another farm right we need another Farm uh okay let’s get one of those in so get another simple Barn uh we can’t put it there because the trees are in the way can we not just knock the trees down game can we not just do that okay we’ll put this one here so like that and then rotate it round and then we’ll put a pasture around the edge and that will be a different kind of food source which is good so one two three four lots of these going in and then we do I wouldn’t mind a road I wouldn’t mind a road just coming out a bit like that for now just to remind me to maybe later on connect everything up but uh right okay it appears that many people people seem to be dying of starvation or whatever but or thirst possibly even though there’s loads of water and three Wells which does seem a bit strange but right yeah if they could get that done then maybe we could get ourselves some lovely sheep and then we get some mutton and then of course that’s another food source to stop people complaining about being so hungry okay the sheep farm is done we’ve got four Farmers working in it and I think we’re about to get a third little sheep pen up and running there we go and look a sheep has appeared we got three sheep so I don’t know how long it takes to actually get the mutton produced but that’s going to be another very handy thing they do need water actually is it worth maybe over here popping another Well down just to make sure that the water coming from that well can actually go to the Sheep rather than leaving everybody else thirsty there’s a lot of death going on there’s a lot of death happening I kind of feel like there shouldn’t be we’ve got loads of bread I mean loads of wine people can have a nice drink I got plenty of grapes we’re out of Wheat by assum we’re turning the wheat into lovely bread so I don’t quite know why we’ve suffered so Much Death recently but there we go you know more people can move back in we’ve got two vacancies for people to move back in and we do have two people waiting for a job uh I don’t know where that could be uh oh hang on a minute do we put oh no that’s got four out of four people in uh we’ll put you there and you uh oh no we’re out of people again now hang on nope that wasn’t very good we’ll take somebody out of there and put them into there uh for some reason we can’t hang on I just took some people out of there and nobody oh oh I see maybe they’re the numbers we’re trying to get to rather than the numbers that we already have but look they come out and do this Easter thing and then they all go hungry this does cause a little bit of disruption to the uh the people of Florence or the sort of Florence suburbs and look and now people are dying again so because you’re going out and partying so hard at Easter you keep dying if you could not do that that would be great that would be quite good although what do I see over here I see some lovely lovely Olive pressing going which means maybe at some point I think we had olive oil I think at some point then we had some olive oil has it gone into here possibly no we did have some unless it’s gone into housing has gone into some actual housing I’m not quite sure but yes we’re making olive oil okay this is good this is good um the final thing that I would like to do oh bother rations they’ run out of wood again oh dear this okay yeah that needs looking at cuz having to move this thing around constantly is very very fiddly uh yeah okay get ourselves some more stuff over there that’ll be fine thank you and knock that down uh where are we that one there Boop there we go free up some people um yes uh what we doing yeah the final thing that we need to build really is the um this thing no that’s a rollal church where’s the where’s the thing the artist Workshop because they can make statues and I want to put statues in the plazas because it sounds fancy but we do need 75 money so I think we click here so could we sell some Stone could we sell some Stone uh export offers yeah one stone for four money every one season yeah do that uh that’s not going to get as much money is it that’s going to take forever to do anything and I thought that game was going to crash again just then um yeah I don’t know quite why we haven’t done this so that H how can we tell what’s in the houses okay that house has got some stuff in uh yeah the houses are all yeah they’re not holding all the right amount of things some we’ got olive oil in that hasn’t got any food in at all you know what we’re going to do we are going to not do an Easter Service we’re going to turn that off because it just causes way more problems that it’s worth like all the food is out over here there’s those of bread and stuff come on everybody take all the bread back to your houses and enjoy eating the bread when you need to please uh oh hang on a minute upgrade can we upgrade that no we can’t bother okay fine right put two people into there please and then we’ll try and get a couple of bits of wood to upgrade this to then get some more people working it so we can get even more wood uh let’s just make sure that happens yeah just come on chop chop chop chop down those trees super quickly please and then up to eight wood anytime you like I kind of hoping you do this quicker because now I’m I’m talking and I’m just padding time there we go right upgrade uh upgrade that and then we can upgrade it again no no we can’t upgrade it again not quite yet we need another few bits of wood but again I’m sure they will have that momentarily as soon as they chop down another couple of trees and then we’ll get that upgraded there we go uh oh no it’s gone it’s gone back down to two I think that’s already been reserved has it never mind never mind um yeah I don’t think we’re going to get much in the way of money are we 12 how much did we need to build the exciting new thing of a jig uh where was it 75 good grief we could we could export some wood uh for we’re just going to do oh just press statues no export that and these all change these will change every so often um okay we have to keep do you know what export bread export bread for 10 money every four seasons oh c is okay you have to leave this game running quite a long time for stuff to happen you have to leave it running for a good long time but you know what it’s fine we’ll get there in the end we’ll upgrade that as well and then we’ll put some more people into there so yay a for everybody being gainfully employed um okay so yeah we haven’t been able to do this just yet we can’t get them to upgrade and get the kind of fancy luxurious rural houses they’re not sort of U making the apartment sorry they’re just not they’re not getting round to that and I’m not quite sure why cuz they should all have the things they need they’ve all got one resource in I mean we’ve got everybody is doing all the jobs pretty much apart from over in the trading place so we’re producing as many grapes as we can as many olives as we can we’re pressing them about as quick as we can we’re producing lots and lots of wheat we’ve got lots of people in the bakery I mean maybe now we got loads of bread got loads of bread we actually have some mutton which is quite good we’ve got people who are thirsty there’s loads of water there are so many wells around the place we’ll upgrade that well look there are many Wells please use those for your watering needs um it’s all looking pretty good so I’m not quite sure why they’re not working on this um and then yeah I still want to get oh c oh hang on eight mutton for eight yeah that we’re doing that because the mutton can be exchanged very quickly for 8 money and then when we get the money in we can build the Statue thing that’s all I want to do now I want to build an artist Workshop because I want to get some fancy statues to put in the plazas and then we’ll be done then we can wrap things up I mean I don’t know how helpful this is going to be to the rebuilding of the mighty City of Florence but I mean you know it’s quite nice in its own right it’s quite lovely here I don’t know if this is going to help Florence very much but there we go so 92 monies 92 yes we can get one of these in we’re just going to put it right there uh prioritize this please and as soon as that’s done we’re going to commission a statue in fact no commission two statues and um yeah we’ll put them over there we’ll put them into these plazas here maybe one in there and just make them much much fancier than they are now also the very handy thing is that we built it quite near to the little kind of builders’s yard where they stockpile all the resources so the resources have gone in really really quickly and they’re already building the thing which is amazing I mean that’s quite slow the build progress is quite slow given that we are on top game speed but you know what never mind they will get there in the end give it another couple of minutes and that’ll be sorted out and I forgot we’re still selling our our mutton so we’re still making a good bit of money from that which is quite good because you know it’s good to have a little bit of cash around in case we need to buy something in an emergency kind of a way do we need to buy anything um do you know what we could we could import some olive oil why don’t we do that we’ll import some olive oil for 22 money and we’ll export the mutton for 80 money so yeah we’re making a profit overall so effectively it’s just free olive oil isn’t it so we can get some more olive oil nice and quickly VI a little bit of trading okay the artist Workshop shop is nearly complete there we go right so we’ve got nobody to go and work in it but I think let’s take a couple of people away shall we what one less person in there making wine one less person in there making olive oil and put them over in here making statues okay so we take a little bit of money ah okay it was worth grabbing the money and some what is it yeah some Stone just some basic Stone and we make a statue okay I notice there is a carving progress thing I imagine that’s also going to take quite a long time because you know this game is a patient game it’s a patient game uh yeah how long is it actually going to take they’ve put the yeah they’ve got the money in they’ve got to grab that first of course the stone has gone in no it’s quite quick it’s pretty quick okay so what do we do with the statues once they’re done where do they appear can we apply them to the plazas or something I don’t know how it works so we have a St we got one statue so can we now installed artworks so how do we put how do we place a statue does anybody know how to put down a statue or do they automatically oh no it’s gone in it’s gone in automatically look they’ve put the statue in Oh okay that’s quite fun okay I do like that that’s quite good uh you know what with our fancy statue in place and there it is and everyone should stop and look at it and Marvel at it and go ooh and D and isn’t it wonderful I think oh look at the Sheep hang on the sheep the Sheep hop about little tiny hoppy sheep okay that’s fun um so I think with that done we will wrap things up for now with our little look at histori City Florence also just while we’re on that the topic of the name I imagine because it’s called historic City colon Florence I imagine there are plans in the future to have other cities maybe in other parts of the world with different styles and different things so this one is clearly very Italian with the Y and the olive oil and all that kind of stuff and the plazas maybe they could do another one which is in I don’t know like Nordic countries and it’s a bit more sort of you know Viking e just to you know broadly stereotype there or they could have one which is more sort of Eastern European or one which is yeah I know set anywhere else at different parts of the world you can have all sorts of different ones could you so I imagine that’s possibly the idea of why it’s got sort of yeah htor City colon Florence so I can have other cities as part of a sort of range of games but yeah I think we’ll wrap things up for now with our look at the game I think we have had a pretty good look at the game to see what it’s all about and how it works and all that kind of stuff and you know I’ve enjoyed it I think it is quite slow it is quite slow they do need to kind of hurry things along and this goal here it does seem quite difficult this seems quite tricky I’m not entirely sure it should be that hard because I think yeah we have maxed out people doing all of the jobs and things so I’m not quite sure how you’re supposed to get all of the olive oil and all the wine and all the food and everything else to make sure the houses can actually upgrade to their sort of you their next level the fancy apartment forms but Joe it’s fine it’s fine maybe that bit needs a bit of tweaking I think yeah some of the game needs a little bit of balancing possibly I think was earlier on we saw it was quite difficult with all the sort of um The Grain and such like we ran out before the game went wrong that was quite tricky but I think as well it’s quite slow to get the olive oil and stuff it does have realistic growth times of course which I guess is something I’ve take into account but yeah I think overall it’s quite a slow game it’s quite slow it’s quite patient and it does take a while to play but you know I quite like it it it looks very nice little people hop about and you know it seems to be sort of it’s covering lots of lovely things about Italy we’ve got all the sort of the classic things in about sorting out this little Italian settlement that we’re making here so overall it’s been very lovely but yes I think a little bit of tweaking maybe with a balance possibly just to maybe make it feel a little bit more sort of productive and sort of slightly hurry things on a little bit I would have thought might just make the game a tiny bit more playable but yeah overall I’ve had a lovely time with it but we shall finish things up for now hopefully you have enjoyed this if you have please do leave a like that would be most marvelous indeed and also if you’re not already then please do subscribe to keep up today with all the other bits and Bobs and nonsense that we get up to in the geek C but for now thank you very much for joining me in the geek cupboard and I will see you next time oh look they’re having a lovely time around the campfire and we’re about to ruin that for everybody you’re a fast learner oh and you’re a killer get you’re killing the Sheep this is an outrage and there we go hor has finished his snowman she’s gone Jella has lost Consciousness this is this is not going to end well is it

Nice
Ayy yo🎉
Geekin before the weekend lol😂😂😂😂
This and Citadelum a few days ago just makes me think about Pharaoh, the ancient Egypt city builder they re-released not too long ago. I played that game so so much as a kid
The farms could have been upgraded so they can grow loads of food
For the woodcutters, I was thinking, since the forests regrow. You could have 2 fully built, then move your workers out of one to the other, and just transfer them around as needed.
The starvation is really frustrating. When you ran out of food, sure, that was fine, that made sense. But later on you've got huge amounts of food and water sitting around, yet people are dropping left and right from starvation and dehydration. How? Why?
You could have upgraded the farms! Then the fields can be three wide. You also could have built the tax office to collect monies.
This has perked me intrest. Looks promising
You kept building the wood cutters on the edge of the forests so wasnt getting the full amount of wood from the forests hence they kept running out, you should have put them in the middle of the trees 🌲
Ever heard of a game called Seablip?
Stumbled upon a guy playing it on youtube, looks like a fun little pirate game that may be right up your alley.
Irl, "building" a field is a good amount of work: clearing trees/shrubs/stones, constructing fences, etc. The only difference I think is that usually it's termed "clearing" a field
Seems like it would be easier to have two logging camps and only work one at a time. But the game seems unfinished anyway, a lot of these mechanics seem annoying
Really liked your layout this time around. 👍 I did think you were playing quite impatiently and missed out on the Lore you usually make up. Ps. Any more supermarket viideos?
