The game introduces players to various historical periods through a "mission list" that highlights key developments and features. Each feature, such as establishing sawmills, windmills, or smithies during the Iron Age, inspires different missions. Players can engage in constructing specialized resource mines, houses, and other critical infrastructures.
As the game progresses, the complexity and scale of tasks increase significantly. The interface has expanded to fill most of the screen, reflecting the heightened engagement required from players. With hundreds of residents bustling about, activities unfold continuously, driven by choices regarding tools, areas, and resources. This relentless pace means multiple projects advance simultaneously, minimizing downtime.
Players experience four distinct eras throughout gameplay:
Prehistoric
Ancient
Medieval
Early Modern
These eras offer unique challenges and experiences until a player’s energy runs out, after which the cycle of negotiation, development, and warfare continues.
At the game's start, the land is vibrant and wild; however, as players advance into the Ancient and Medieval periods, regions become more organized. To maintain this order amidst ongoing conflicts with rival nations, players must navigate the complexities brought on by greed and expansion, resulting in increasingly complicated landscapes.
As players witness significant world wars and changes throughout time, it becomes essential to document history. Achieving peace prioritizes the recording of historical events, allowing players to move past battles and focus on legacies for future civilizations. Acknowledging humanity's limitations encourages living life fully and avoiding regret.
In the game "Your Land. WHAT?!", players journey back to civilization's origins, leading their tribe through pivotal historical milestones. This immersive experience not only entertains but also educates players about their ancestral lineage from prehistoric times to modernity.
Starting with a small tribe in a primordial forest, players must ensure their survival against threats while providing essential resources like food, water, and shelter. As the tribe evolves, players assist in landmark discoveries like fire, language, and tools.
As time progresses, characters from ancient civilizations, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution appear, enriching gameplay. Each era is characterized by authentic environments and diverse cultures, complete with their own technologies, customs, conflicts, and ways of life.
This game not only entertains but fosters a connection to one’s heritage, making it an engaging educational experience through interaction with historical narratives.
