If you do run out of coal, you can watch your Airship plummet to the ground and explode in a burning ball of fire and an unhappy ending for all. For example, exhausting your coal supply in the middle of a desolate area on the map isn’t a bright idea. It also makes resource collection and the mission objectives much harder to complete. Not having enough propulsion will mean that your already lazily-moving town in the sky slows to a crawl. But, unfortunately, building your city up results in it getting too heavy without adequate propulsion. It’s very tempting to grow cities into a complicated maze of paths and structures. They must get a little airsick to I would imagine. Otherwise, they will tilt in one direction or another, which citizens do not enjoy. The Airborne Kingdom adds a few exciting mechanics thanks to its sky-high setting, bringing a different balancing act into play.Ĭities must be weight balanced. Visting a small settlement Balancing Act, But not in the Usual WayĪs with most city builders, you know it’s a balancing act as there is always a need for power, housing, food, water, and other utilities to supply resources to your people. I love watching the planes fly up and down to the ship, like little busy ant’s. Scouts in planes will fly down and collect coal, wood, stone, clay and forage for food and bring resources back to the ship. You’ll be gathering resources from the ground below your ship. But, of course, you also need to keep an ample supply of fuel otherwise, your city in the sky won’t be moving far at all. Scouts returning from the ground with resourcesĪs you build your unique sky city, you’ll need to consider lift and propulsion and maintaining both. I found the story to be intriguing, and it held my attention till the end. Kingdom’s will also provide their area speciality resources such as coal or wood. On allying with these kingdoms, you’ll get another influx of citizens, of which you’ll need at least 150 by the end of the game. They will ask you to do a few quests, progressing to building a sky port, before, at last, they will be your allies. Your primary focus will be to find and unite the other kingdoms. To do this, you fly around the sky in your steampunk airship, visiting cities and completing quests. The ultimate goal is to bring all cultures into alliance once more. Re-discovering those artefacts and the mysteries of the ancient civilisations and gaining the allegiance of the great cities on the ground is key to achieving your ultimate goal. So the wonder of being masters of the sky soon became artefacts of a bygone age. But, alas, many of the people returned to the land over time and have forsaken the skies. The Airborne Kingdom travelled far and wide through the skies sharing their knowledge, culture and tradition. A tale from long ago about a kingdom in the skies. Upon starting the game, a lengthy opening cutscene plays out. And if you’ve already bought it, here’s our guide!
