Based on what I've seen in the range of posts thus far, the game can create a city for most genres except for a little give for that space station entry? I will need it for fantasy, which is no problem of course. I would also like to use it to generate towns for an American West game. I assume that it can do this? Would I need to make some alternate terrain types for one of the tables if I wanted to place it in a certain area of America? The geography from the California to Texas varies quite a bit. Is it possible to set it up if I want my town to be in a desert area of New Mexico for example?
Hey Steelheart! The base assumption is indeed fantasy but we've tried to be as wide as possible and we did space colonies and cyberpunk cities in our playtests. Since terrain features prominently, it makes space stations a bit difficult but with some imagination I think you could make it work.
As for the wild west: I think the only thing that really needs some changing is the terrain table. It is broad enough to encompass a WIDE VARIETY of places, climates and terrain. You could either create a custom table for your setting OR simply reinterpret things accordingly. So if you're set on a dry savannah climate, a result of "swamp" would maybe be a patch of more lush vegetation but no real wetland.
In any case, if you're interested you might want to grab the game quickly before the sale runs out.
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the great feedback, I thought a slight hacking of the generation system might work! This game has been on my list for a while and I was salivating over wanting to try it! I did take advantage of the sale, which I planned to do regardless of your answer. Thanks again, and I'll plan to leave an official review once I've tried it.
