Hello, ladies and gentlemen! It's pleasure to see that this game was accepted with such a massive enthusiasm. At the same time, we are receiving many critical responses. True, this game is in Early Access, so not all of planned features are currently available - but when time will come, they will appear in the game. Yes, there are not so much interesting economic strategies nowadays, and we aim to correct it by developing our own one - but this is a long process. We could work on it covertly, but we preferred to show it you at the earlier stage, so your feedback and critical responses could help us to develop it in the most adequate direction.
Remember story of No Man's Sky that initially fell short of some players' expectations, but then was improved greatly. Or see the policy of such companies as Electronic Arts of Paradox Entertainment, who traditionally use to release a game and then gradually improve it. So it's rather common practice in the world of game industry.
We are sorry is someone is disappointed by what they have seen - but, anyways, we have big plans for this game and work on the updates will begin just after the new year. All your opinions will be taken into account, and together we will make the best viking strategy. Happy New Year, fellow world conquerors!
