Loot Ninja writes: "I've spent a good amount of time with Dawn of Discovery so far and have really only just started to understand a fraction of the complexities in this game. City planning, resource use and production, road layout – all these things factor into how prosperous your empire will end up being, and understanding the intricacies of each one is most of the fun in playing it. The campaign mode is well paced and often times I'd find myself completely engrossed in the game, only to realize that four or five hours of my life had just been spent trying to figure out the best layout for my hemp fields and tailoring huts. For all it does right, it's a shame Dawn of Discovery uses such an ass-backwards copyright protection system, but it really isn't that big of a deal once you get into the game. It's fantastic and shouldn't be missed if you're a fan of the genre".
