For example, a woodcutter can be promoted to a carpenter after gaining experience chopping down trees. And at any time you can press F7 to get a list of everyone, what their roles are, and you can filter from there to see what roles they're qualified for.
Each non-combat unit can be assigned to virtually any role by just clicking through an intuitive context menu. As I said before, combat is peripheral to the design, so you'll spend the overwhelming bulk of your time just building stuff. It doesn't approach the sheer map count of the Heroes of Might and Magic games, but it should keep you occupied for a good week of casual play.Īnd "casual" seems to be the name of the game here, as far as pacing. In addition to several helpful tutorial levels, there's a bunch of "one-shot" maps, co-op maps, multiplayer maps, combat-oriented maps, and a few other types scattered around.
#Cultures northland cannot find Patch#
Hopefully a patch will come out to address the problem, because it's the only technical difficulty I had, albeit a big one.Īnyway, although Northland has only eight campaign levels advertised on the box, there's actually a lot more to it. The English translation is new, but the rest of it came out in Europe almost a year ago. It took me, on average, five or six times before the video card would be successfully initialized, and if it didn't work I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL my way out.Īnd it's not like the game was rushed to market.
You don't want to change resolution modes after loading it up, either, or else the same problem will come creeping back.
#Cultures northland cannot find drivers#
However, I can't recommend going to the trouble of installing significantly older drivers just for one game, especially when it's at best, middle-of-the-road. After digging around on some message boards, it sounds like people have had the most luck (or the least amount of bad luck) by using the 3.1 Catalyst drivers. Sometimes you'll just get a black screen with a mouse pointer, and other time you might make it all the way to the game interface, only to find the psychedelic texture corruption many ATI users saw in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Northland doesn't seem to get along very well with current generation ATI cards (Radeon 9600 Pro and newer). One of them hits you right off the bat, as soon as you start the game.
