For the most part, it's light and breezy. There are complications, crises and plenty of ways to cock everything up, but the first biome has all the resources you need in abundance, letting you build up a nice stockpile, and while scarcity can become an issue, you can return to a less challenging area pretty quickly and recuperate. The map is presented as a literal map, with little embellishments like curling, torn edges, and provides just as much eye candy as the city.ĭespite dabbling in survival management, Airborne Kingdom maintains a relaxing pace. There are small settlements and cities waiting to be discovered and traded with, plenty of hidden bounties, and a few secrets that can be used to unlock wonders that will make your already very impressive city even more enviable. Instead of giving you more places to build, the world exists to be explored. While Airborne Kingdom doesn't lean into its survival elements as much as, say, Surviving Mars, the relationship between the world and the survival mechanics is as strong as it is with a pure survival game. To keep your city fuelled and fed, you'll have to constantly stay on the move, sending down workers in planes to gather up what you need. Absolutely everything you need to build with, continue flying and keep your people alive is found on the ground, and you can explore the entirety of the map at your leisure. The world below still plays an important role. Instead it's something built out of my reactions to imminent disasters, my experiments, my experiments to fix the problems created by my previous experiments, and a few cosmetic flourishes. I had a plan for how I wanted my city to look, and it now looks nothing like my vision. The result is something dynamic and organic, constantly shifting to meet new needs. These limitations have forced me to spend a lot more time considering how my city should grow, and it means no section is ever really complete-I'm always redesigning them. All of these things require resources, workers and space, of course, which might inspire yet more adjustments. If all the new buildings are creating too much drag, some more propellers could give you a bit more propulsion. If the city is lying a bit low, maybe chuck in a new fan or some wings. You have to build methodically, and then make lots of little adjustments. You've got infinite space, but thanks to physics you can just keep expanding in whatever direction you want. Geography is a defining feature of a city, and thus city builders, but it loses its impact when you can soar above it all. This area is the most foggy out of the three areas and players need to use their mouse to sweep over the sea of clouds to find the needed resources.Ĭotton is available for harvest, which may be processed into canvas for use in structures providing comfort and lift/propulsion needing little to no fuel.Įach allied kingdom in the Shallow Lands provides 1 cotton/day (maximum of 6 cotton/day).Physics ends up being an excellent replacement for terrain. Players should ideally balance their coal demand with coal supply from Charcoal Huts before proceeding to this area, as trees are still readily available for use in Charcoal Huts. Upon approaching the Shallow Lands, the player will be prompted that coal is scarce in this area.
It is advised to have either a larger storage of food, or to obtain the Farm blueprint to make food from water which is still easily found in the Hillside.Įach allied kingdom in the Hillside provides 1 ores/day (maximum of 6 ore/day). The terrain in the Hillside consists of canyons and plateaus which is more difficult to navigate and look for needed resources, especially thistles which are very scarce and limited in amount, about 8-13 food per thistle (except for the northernmost region around the Ancient Ruin). Ores are available in this area for collection and processing into iron bars needed for the most powerful and expensive propulsion device (Fin). Upon approaching the Hillside the player will be prompted to proceed with caution as food is scarce. The fog of war in the area is minimal and players can easily look for resources far ahead.Įach allied kingdom in the Desert provides 1 tree/hour (maximum of 4 trees/hour). This is the starting zone where basic resources (such as food, water and coal) are readily available. World Map in Airborne Kingdom including areas of interest Desert The world of Airborne Kingdom is divided into 3 main areas:Įach area has 4 Kingdoms, from which the player has to gain favor and become allies with to complete the tapestry.
