Tidal Tribe vs Virtual Villagers: The Secret City
Tidal Tribe
Tidal Tribe is a relaxing god game where the goal is to create as many lakes as you can by sculpting the land, just so you can encourage plants, especially fruit-bearing ones, to grow, which will, in turn, provide the necessary impetus for neighboring villages to develop into proper civilizations. Of course, there are various other factors to consider if you want to build the perfect villages when you terraform the land, including whether or not the waters will cause flood, or whether the mountains you create are too high for the meeples (the AI villagers) to climb. Basically, the game can be as easy or as challengingly-strategic as you want, depending on the personal goals you set for your playthrough.Tidal Tribe is not only a fun and relaxing god game to play; it has some pretty nice graphics and ambiance for a low-budget indie title as well! So, if you would like to flex your god-like muscles in a game where the AI people don't moan or complain about stuff as much, this is the game for you.
