An Era of Charming Tales: The Rebellion – #EAGC StrangerVille Special Edition Part 1

This is the first of a two part of a StrangerVille special update.

Today, in part 1, I will bring you a quick look at the aesthetic of StrangerVille,

the buy/build and CAS.

TY EA for this awesome opportunity!

It is my intent to keep commentary to a minimum and let you enjoy this first look BUT before I do let me just say that I really love this Game Pack.

It’s a little bit gritty,

little bit grungy,

little bit rusty,

little bit freaky …

and a whole lot of awesome!

This amazing GP is a story teller’s dream.

Without further ado, I will begin.

I apologize .. this is screenshot heavy (nature of the beast).

EA captured the desertscape beautifully.  They transport us to a place of barren beauty that to a casual observer is desolate and unproductive.  Just as in real life there is much more to this wasteland than meets the eye.

There are 3 regions:

The mysterious crater:

(I will not show the inside of the science facility until after the GP is released .. don’t want to be a spoiler)

StrangerVille Plaza – some cool hang out spots and lots of folks to meet and greet:

It is a stunning world.  I would only have one minor issue, I would have loved a remote off the grid lot that would be big enough for a military base

or a cray cray crackpot hiding from the end of the world.

Buy/Build:

I am going to take you on a tour of a StrangeVille “reno” of this FAB Military base by this amazing builder (it is in the gallery).

My regular readers know I do not build.  If I did we would NEVER get an update

AND besides with all the FAB builders in the gallery that make my stories SHINE why would I insult you with my builds. LOL

TY KaiXdemoness for sharing your talent with us!

I placed the build on this fab spot up on the plateau with the rick folk ..

I am sure you will agree that our Human/Alien Rebel faction will have a wonderful view!

Obviously, not everything in these screenies is new.

I am using this opportunity to not only give you a peek at StrangeVille B/B but also to introduce the rebel base (more on that tomorrow with the gameplay blog).

The sci-fi-ish lab stuff is awesome ❤

I had a blast creating a secret underground testing facility (alien uprisings require secret labs).

There is a new trait and a new aspiration:

New hair:

      1. If someone does can you please let me know. I’ve decided not to buy it. The whole built-up town center won’t work at all for an apocalypse type situation. I’m so disappointed.

    1. I sort of want spoilers. Does anyone know where I can find spoilers so that I can know what to expect. As a completionist player, it wont change that I will buy the pack – I buy them all. Even ones I dont really care about. Mainly for no issues with CC downloads. I still want to know what to expect and I want spoilers.

      1. I am working thru the story now … I will post a blog on it afterwards .. so far all of us who have early access have not put out spoilers .. tomorrow that will change I am certain.

  1. The scenery looks great! Not enthused about the hair–seems like a ton of things we already have only slightly redone. The grungy build things could be useful though. Well done on showing us the exciting parts of the pack.
