Gnomoria is a sandbox village management game where you help lead a small group of gnomes, who have set out on their own, to thrive into a bustling kingdom! Anything you see can be broken down and rebuilt elsewhere.

I started playing Gnomoria because of my interest in Dwarf Fortress. It's basically a simplified Dwarf Fortress with isometric graphics. And I'm pleasantly surprised. There's a lot to do and it has a lot of depth so you learn a lot from your mistakes.

The way things are done takes a bit getting used to. For instance it's easy to let your gnomes dig themselves into areas where they can't get out. Or the whole floor system with the digging. But once you get used to the whole system it's very easy to play.

Has anyone else played it?

I had a look at it. Since I am not a minecraft fan, I don't think I will play this. It's odd tho since I have a terraria addiction and starbound is even worse.

I've never played Minecraft. This is more top down city management though and I've yet to see if it is addictive or not since at this stage I'm still learning the ropes. If it's ever on a good special or bundle again then I'll get it for you. Just to try and see if you like it. :)

Haha I haven't played Banished yet. It's definitely something that I want to play! This I would guess is a mix between Minecraft and Banished probably. :)

LOL I had looked at this at one point but found this instead Craft the world. For some reason I WANT that more than Gnomoria. I think a lot has to do with the fact that I prefer the side scroller type 2d games
 
Hey Soli, I've decided to give Gnomoria a go too. I've had it since 2012 but never really played it. Will post screenshots here and show you how it goes.

Awesome, I will do the same. I'm thinking of starting a new map since I screwed up my current map quite a bit.
 
I used to play this a while back, should give it a go again, I'm sure there's been a few updates.

Used to enjoy it quite a bit and had it on my laptop, was nice when traveling for work to have it.
 
So here's what I learned from my first two kingdoms:

-Don't build a fancy great hall with a high worth early on. It might attract more gnomads, but it also attracts the attention of enemy kingdoms.
-Don't dig past -7 early on. Dig for stone in -7 or above. Also use torches to prevent enemies from spawning in the darkness.
-Assign 1 gnome to each type of job in the first season and then as you get more gnomes assign them to jobs that require more workers.
-Build two crude workbenches and have one produce a lot of planks while the other produces the materials needed for more advanced workshops. As soon as you have to of each of sawmill, carpenter, stone cutter and stone mason - destroy the crude workshops. They produce much more slowly than the advanced workshops.
-Try and get an ambassador and merchant asap so that you can buy more female yaks. A male yak can impregnate one female an evening, so you don't really need more than one male. If the female gives birth to another male, butcher it for bones.
-Fence in your yaks for protection against wild animals and attacking goblins.
-Try to equip all gnomes with at least leather armor for extra survivability.

And that's it for now. Now on to my third kingdom.

Also, gnome hitler!

Is it finished? Towns (Don't even consider getting Towns!) made me think really carefully about all these games.
 
[MENTION=4467]Graal[/MENTION] Wow you've been busy! I only played about an hour last night. :) Haha and that does look like a gnome Hitler!
[MENTION=2399]czc[/MENTION] I never played Towns. I wanted to get it but read about the developer abandoning it. Gnomoria looks pretty complete to me. I wouldn't really know what's missing though. Also I believe there's a developer channel or something where you can get updates of the game being worked on. Or was that another game? Nah I think it was Gnomoria.
 
Yeah, I had a fair bit of time between getting my PC formatted and back up to scratch.

I've just discovered the Indev branch which is updated more frequently, so I'm about to give that a try.
