This game takes the real-time strategy formula that previous games have utilized, and adds a couple of new spins on mechanics. Usual mechanics like building your settlements and expanding steadily in various areas retain that formula and are pretty standard for the genre. Things get interesting when you consider the game’s new Sanity mechanic. The Sanity system is meant as an additional factor to consider in the challenges of running your ever-expanding Tribe. Essentially, your units’ Sanity can deteriorate due to various factors, such as sickness, the death of kin, or starvation, and these things can make things much more taxing. Direct consequences weren’t disclosed, but one can assume that units can commit suicide if their Sanity is too low. You can watch the teaser trailer for Gord below:
