Good evening you are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney.

Tonight I'm joined by 3MA founder, Troy Goodfellow.

Hello!

And we also welcome back, our friend freelance writer, John Bolding.

Howdy, howdy.

So today we return to the age of man's innocence, to the state of nature from whence all our absolutely correct

political views spring, the bedrock of the modern world, the dawn of man, which is a new

city builder slash civilization manager from Madrugo Works.

And John and Troy, I both saw you playing this.

You were discussing it on the 3MA Discord for a couple weeks there.

Troy, you want to tell us a little bit about what is this?

What should we make of it as a city builder? What traditions does it fit into?

Yeah, just broadly, what is Donna Mann? What are the first things you notice about it?

It is a city builder. I mean, often it builds itself, I think it tries to tie itself into the survival type games, kind of like banished and the like.

But it really is, and many of it's a traditional city builder,

but with a few little quirks.

You do, you work your way from the Stone Age, the Paleolithic Age, all the way up to the Iron Age.

You level up and you move from one age to the next, similar as you would in a Age of Empires type game, more like an RTS and a city builder.

I can't think of any of the city builders that do this. You work your way from, you know, stone tools,

a lot of hunting and a lot of gathering, you know, killing mammoths and grabbing berries and fish,

all the way up through the ages to where you're smelting iron and building walled cities

and where agriculture is your primary mode of food. You work your way up through these ages
