Summary: Great Game in the tradition of Servcity
Review: I have all the Cultures games and they are wonderful for gamers who are not into 'build thousands of soldiers and go kill everything in sight' action games. The pace is what you want it to make, from slow building to, yes, making soldiers and fighting fights. The graphics are cool, the story makes sense (mostly, grin) and the campaign gives the right mixture of tasks and action. There is one more in this series out in Germany and here's to hoping that we will see it in the U.S. as well. Highly recommended.

Summary: Best game ever!
Review: I have only played the demo of Northland but I am an addict of its predecessors, Cultures and Cultures 2. It is the cutest, most fun city-building sims-style game around. It was never very popular in the US but its European success has led to them finally releasing another in the series over here. Download the demo from northland.com if you're interested, but I highly suggest buying it because once you start you won't want to stop!

Warning: time dissappears but you won't care

Summary: CULTURES 3?
Review: i was a bit disappointed in this game-if you are a cultures addict you will probably still spend hours upon hours upon hours playing northland-as i did-but i think the original cultures is the most challanging-as far as the fighting goes-northland is waaaaay too easy-original cultures is most challanging-cultures 2 is certainly more challanging than northland-did they make northland for little kids?? im just wondering-the only new thing i can see in northland is you get to battle against-and to fight with ghost warriors which is kind of a cute idea-and the werewolf type characters are kind of creepy-otherwise-i am hoping that cultures 4 will be more challanging-the advanced graphics and gameplay of 2 and 3-but a game that offers a diehard cultures addict some serious challanges

Summary: Northland Funtastic!
Review: Northland is a fun filled adictive building/strategy game. Each viking is an individual and you have to get them to build a village, extract building material and provide food and homes. You assign jobs to each male viking and he will learn new skills by either working or going to schools. You can often trade your products for things you need. Create soldiers to fight anything from wolves to demons. You have choices as to how you want to play so the game is easily replayable. Some people feel that it takes too long to learn how to play it. Each game in the series builds and improves on the prior one but does not change the basic structure of the game. Once you know how to play one Cultures game you can easily play the next. I am addicted to the game and can play for hours.
My main complaints about the game are that the women do not have enought to do and although you can group the soldiers you cannot really form them into units (as in AoE or AoM).
If you liked Settlers you will love Northland. It is pure fun to play.
