Rather, you’ll need to make the best use of the space you have to complete your objectives…hence where the “puzzle” part comes into play. While you’ll still be moving citizens into town with the intent on creating a booming economy, the scale is a bit smaller in that you won’t be seeing megalopolises and the like. Maps are generally on the small side and not at all comparable to the size of say, “SimCity 4”, so this game isn’t so much of a city-builder as it is a puzzle game/business sim. While the campaign maps task you with completing objectives in order to claim victory, you’re not tied down to doing things in just the right way. What the game lacks in the “pretty graphics” department it makes up for in gameplay. “1849” has a “Caesar III” look about it, the latter of which was released on or around 1998…just to set your expectations a bit. While pretty business sims and city builders are certainly a plus, what I really look for is how in-depth gameplay actually is. If this were an action RPG that would be a huge sin, but I often make allowances for business sims & city builders when it comes to graphics quality and the like. The options menu covers fullscreen & audio toggles, but no screen resolution or graphics quality settings.
The latter will allow the player to select a location on the campaign map, which in turn tells the game to procedurally generate a map based on the area appropriate terrain (similar to Spacebase DF-9). The main menu keeps things pretty basic in that you’ll be allowed to head to the single player campaign map, continue a previously saved game, or head on over to sandbox mode.
