Ancestors reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Ok Ancestors Legacy is one of 3 RTS Pearls of recent Years that had not enjoyed Any Hype, but from me an Absolute Recommendation. And you miss real Gems in The genre Strategy if you don't even keep an Eye on it. Let me mention the Names: Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun, Frostpunk, and Ancestors Legacy. These 3 Games have really been with the best I've bought since 2015. Smaller supplement, who says A must also tell B. So here are my Reviews of the other two Candidates. 1. Frostpunk: https://steamcommunity.com/id/asbestbrezel/recommended/323190 2nd Shadow Tactics: https://steamcommunity.com/id/asbestbrezel/recommended/418240 Straight Ancestors Legacy stands out with its Story based on true conditions And that makes it special for me, because I am such a little Hobby historian, who soaks up something like that. Also, after zocking wonderfully, you can spend your Time researching the Internet. So no matter how you want to see it, it's an Area for me all time. The Gameplay is very neat, and you have to be really careful in places and use the Skills of the Troops correctly and optimally. Because you only have a Maximum Unit strength of 10, 6 Men each. So you don't necessarily have a Lot of options, but you have to make the best of it and even endure until Reinforcements come from Allies. So far I have made smooth progress with the Vikings on a slight degree of Difficulty, but I am already sure that it is difficult, because you are given absolutely nothing here like, for example, at Forstpunk. In addition to sending offensive Struggles and Historical Accuracy, you can also build your own Base, and defend them and secure your Raw Materials. Also I find the set Building Sites quite relaxing, because again you have to resort to the trap skills of the Unit before you leave the Building, the rest do the gun towers. You also have to decide between taking outposts quickly, or waiting and deisting And advancing slowly. The second Is rather counterproductive in my Experience. Because the AI plays quite aggredly and doesn't be long in coming. I also like that the newly recruited Units do not appear in Outposts, but always have to run from the Main Base to the rest of the Force. It is simply very varied, and exceedingly, if you do not recruit everything right under your Nose from the Opponent And have direct Mission Ready, but the Opponent also has a Chance to push you back before the Reinforcement arrives. Graphically, the Game can really be seen, and if that's not enough, you can take part in the Fights directly with the Camera, and watch everything from the vicinity. The Soundcullise and Soundtracks are simply an Ear Candy and are very coherent and create a medieval Atmosphere. So the Soundtrack DLC is directly with have been purchased. But! What I'm doing here big around and giving Some tips. It's a great Game to recommend. So if You like Strategy and have some Interest in a little History, you can easily invest in Playful education here. :D
