All good things must come to an end and I'm super thrilled with this game but also super bummed that this is the conclusion to the wonderful adventures of Adelantado.

All good things must come to an end and I'm super thrilled with this game but also super bummed that this is the conclusion to the wonderful adventures of Adelantado. This is one of the best TM series out there and the graphics get better with each new edition. Plenty to keep you busy, cutting bushes, picking berries and mushrooms, picking up wood and gold and smashing pots that contain goodies. You even get to explore caves in this one! You have your typical quests such as building saw mills, worker housing and more, and you must build watch towers to expand your territories. You will also have side quest from the Indians asking help making potions, mending fences, totem poles and alters. You will find hidden caches of gemstones that give you strength, speed and the ability to understand and communicate with the native people. The thing I like the most about this chapter is all the dinosaurs roaming around. if you haven't played 1 and 2 it's okay, you can still play this as a stand alone game, but I suggest you try them all because they are really fun games, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

I love this series! I was so excited that Book Three was finally out, I replayed Book Two from beginning to end plus the extra round, just so I could remember how we got to where we are in Book Three!

You are still Don Diego, and this time your Indian girl friend Milintica - whom you rescued from an arranged marriage in Book 2 - has been carried off by cavemen. So now you must search for her. You ...Show more

I love this series! I was so excited that Book Three was finally out, I replayed Book Two from beginning to end plus the extra round, just so I could remember how we got to where we are in Book Three!

You are still Don Diego, and this time your Indian girl friend Milintica - whom you rescued from an arranged marriage in Book 2 - has been carried off by cavemen. So now you must search for her. You still get to build gardens, and woodcutters, and sawmills, and granite mines, and silver mines. You build watch towers to expand your territory.

There are still 10 Chapters, 5 each in Part 1 and Part 2, plus a bonus Chapter. And a Relaxed Mode, for players like myself who want to take their time and enjoy the game. You still fight the occasional dinosaur and caveman. One new quirk is some of the barrels explode, so you have to build a hospital to fix up Don Diego and various other sick Indians along the way.

You still need Money, Land, and Survivors, as well as Secrets, to progress to the next level. And Don Diego still needs Strength, Speed and Oratory skills. If you haven't played Book 1 and Book 2, I recommend you try them as well! You don't need to, in order to play Book 3, but they are great fun! What a great holiday present! Show less

Like others before me it was a no-brainer...as soon as I saw it was out, I hit that button to buy it! The challenges are pitched just right for me, it's fun - my only quibble is that I wish everything were a little larger as I have bad eyesight!

I would recommend this to anyone and if you haven't already played Book 1 & 2 - you should try them out! There seem to be some secret items missing from some of the levels (eg Part 2 Chapter 1, I could only find 18 secrets and I've heard others say the same thing too, so I don't think it's just me...) - if you have found all the secrets - please let us into your secret!

I especially like that it has a relaxed mode of play - I can't be doing with rushing around madly clicking my mouse. I like ot be able to look around without time penalties!

I hope the game developers realise what a gem they created in this trilogy and come up with some more games along these lines and *quickly* - we waited so long for Book 3, and it's already half-finished and then what shall I play!!! Show less

I recommend this game!

I absolutely love the Adelantado trilogy! No, I haven't completed the 3rd and final (waaaaaa) installment, but I've played enough of it to know I will be spending hours playing it. I still go back time to time and play the 1st two installments; still fun and still challenging. I only hope Realor will come up with a new game that is as good as Adelantado!

I recommend this game!

BASED ON PARTIALLY COMPLETED GAME

I didn’t even have to think about it, my fingers had already hit the buy button before I remembered that it is bonus punchcard Monday! This just never happens to me, even with games I know I’m going to buy. But the AdelantadoTrilogy is unique among build style games in being able to keep me up late to finish ‘one more level’.

This game continues the tale from the first two books of Adelantado. Don Diego is still on his quest to find the lost expedition, and he’s got some strange new challenges ahead, the most immediate of which are dinosaurs of all varieties. The cavemen are still raiding the camps, but not in the first few levels.

The game is an identical replica of Book Two, but with added structures, production goods and new gold transporters. The graphics and animation are the same high standard. Even the music is the same.

My favourite thing is this game is still that you can play it in 3 difficulty modes, or play it untimed. Something for everyone.

Some of this game’s other features include:

1. You control Don Diego, while he controls his men. So you can queue for yourself, foraging for hidden gems, for instance, and while keeping occupied with that, direct the action for all your building and production men.

2.You can demolish, restore to peak efficiency or upgrade most buildings. So when the woodcutter runs out of wood, you can reutilise the space. Which is very good, because as with the first games, space is the biggest problem.

3. There are again new buildings such as healer’s huts to add to your productive value.

4.There are gods that provide short term power ups such as increased speed or productivity.

5. Cool awards.

6. The levels are long and increase in difficulty.

The first chapter is still the ‘hand-holding’ forced building program where you can only do as instructed, but in level two you have almost complete flexibility – although you must have unlocked structures and so on, as with the other games.

I am already really enjoying this one, even though I have only completed chapter 3. Show less

I recommend this game!

I am a huge fan of the Adelantado Trilogy and was so excited to see Book 3 finally released. I love these games. They are so much fun and each one has gotten better. I think the addition of dinosaurs in this one was one of my favorite parts. I now own all three books in this series and wish they didn't stop at a Trilogy.

If you liked the first two Books, you will find this much the same. A few things change in the play, but the story continues to unfold. I think this is a great game and I hope there will be more adventure games to follow after this theme ended. The play is not completely linear, but in most instances you cannot wander off course too far because of the requirements of strength or oratory. I did find one level where I went the wrong path and exhausted all of my resources and had to restart the level. The second try I went a different direction and renewed my resources. I play in relaxed mode and levels typically take around 90 minutes to 2 hours to complete, so allow plenty of time for playing. I can say that I found the secrets to be far better hidden than in previous games. I missed 1 or 2 secrets in every level but the first two. I may have to replay them. Show less

This is the last we see of Don Diego de Leon. There will be no more, sniff, sniff.

No more marauding dinosaurs to battle. No more quests to keep it from being dull once the resource management is mastered and producing steadily. No more caves with stalactites to smash, levels to pull. No more survivors to rescue. Nothing of what we loved in all the previous games will come back.

But we have this one last romp. And it is a great one. This time Don Diego gets hurt a lot and you need to set up a healer's hut for him. He gets to visit caves, and pyramids, and now teletransportation gates...

One last hurrah before we have to come back to more mundane games.... Show less

As with the others there are lots of wrong statements and many mix-ups with the different native American cultures, but heck, the game set up, the graphics and the tasks are so much fun this can still be overlooked.
It felt shorter than the others, but maybe it was just the routine of having played the other two games repeatedly before this one came out.
I hope there will be more games of the kind by this company, I can only add a big thank you and well done! Show less

The third installment of Adelantado has arrived !! Oh happy day. I had to take a break from trimming the trees and decking the halls to buy this game. I absolutely loved the first two. Don Diego is back with his crew of helpers to forage new paths through the wilderness and find his missing bride. You still have building to build, ie, gardens, farms, bakeries, etc. But there are also some new ones. At times when Don is breaking open pots, they explode causing him to need a healer. So, of course, you need a healer's hut. Choices of difficulty are still the same, with a relaxed mode too... yay. There are caves to explore with many levels to these caves. There are also transporters to whisk Don from one part of the field to another. You still have your cavemen and dinosaurs. The secrets are very very well hidden. I played the first chapter on relaxed and it took me going over the entire level to find them all. This was an immediate buy for me. Try it yourself as always. Sadly I must pry myself out of this chair and continue with Christmas preparation. :)) Show less

I recommend this game!
