The story begins with the player managing a small plot of land focused on grain production and sales, guided by a tutorial quest list. However, this quest list quickly becomes outdated, suggesting tasks that the player has already completed, which diminishes its usefulness as the game progresses.
- “To get you started, there's a quest list that acts as a tutorial, but this becomes obsolete after a while since it keeps suggesting old stuff that's already done.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive, as it involves month-by-month progression in building a farming community. Many feel that this mechanic misses the chance to incorporate historical events, such as wars, which could have added depth and variety to the gameplay experience.
