Our take on Of Life and Land
Settlement strategy often centers on expanding a town and its economy; here, animal populations and plant conditions are part of the management loop, and settlement growth can push wildlife toward decline or rapid increase.
What is Of Life and Land?
Build settlements in remote regions and manage the resources they need.
Acquire, refine, and distribute goods, arranging transport between locations and across maps. Villagers have homes, workplaces, needs, and goals, while animals seek food, water, rest, and social groups. Plant growth depends on conditions such as water, temperature, and season. Weather and climate also affect people and animals, including their need for warmth or water. As settlements expand, human activity can change animal populations, potentially causing some to disappear or multiply sharply. Trade with local factions, choose how much space and resources nature retains, and create maps and scenarios in the editor. The game allows pausing and changing its speed.
