Add to Steam

I love these games. Not a fan of the newer versions. I know some of these are on steam but I’d like this one to be there too

Colonialism

You take the “heathens” land, resources, and spirituality. You make it seem like they are miserable in their current “savage” ways (actual words used). You knock down their totems and electrocute them as punishment when they defend their territory. You try to convert them to your religion. It sounds like a mirror of many colonized nations like the U.S…

towards the end of the game you have shoved them all onto one piece of dry resourceless land. A sort of reserved piece of land you could say… until you scare them with an earthquake and make them all convert.

Very interesting to see the things that were passed off as family friendly 15years ago when this was made.

Love this game! But…

I love this game, been restarting it for years but a common issue I see is what seems to be a bug? On my recent play and the play before that, I can’t convert the master builder cos whenever I use the time warp god power to speed them up, it teleports them to the other side of the map! I’ve used it before and after assigning the job but it just doesn’t work, could you please help me out with this as I really want to continue and complete the game

Can ANYONE fix the aqueduct???

I have spent DAYS doing the same thing over and over because everybody dies while I’m sleeping. And I just can’t fix the aqueduct. I have masters in everything. They won’t do anything. My master scientist won’t do anything at all. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or what. I looked up cheats! Still can’t figure it out. I’m gonna lose my marbles and it’s your fault.

Uncomfortable with new religious aspect

Uncomfortable with how oddly religious this game seems to be. I downloaded it because I’ve liked the past VV games, but this one took a major turn down the religious route and does so using outdated terms in referring to villagers as ‘heathens’ that you cannot direct in the game until converted. Why???? Spirituality is now a new discipline for the villagers as well that you can train them in. So weird and alienating towards gamers who aren't interested in this. I’d like to get a refund as I feel uncomfortable contributing to / supporting game makers who suggest that the totems that the virtual villagers have must be torn down and converted, yikes.
