Cultures is a real-time strategy and city-building game developed by Funatics and released in 2000 for PC. The game was designed by Thomas Häuser (who previously worked on The Settlers II: 10th Anniversary and Historyline: 1914-1918), Thomas Friedmann, and Thorsten Kneisel, another Blue Byte veteran. This talented team brought their experience from classic strategy games to create a unique Viking-themed settlement simulation.
Set in the world of Norse mythology, Cultures follows the adventures of Bjarni and his Viking clan as they explore new lands and establish thriving settlements. What immediately distinguishes this game from other strategy titles is its heavy emphasis on individual character development and social dynamics. Rather than managing anonymous units, you oversee named Vikings with distinct personalities, skills, and relationships that evolve throughout the game.
