Manor Lords is a strategy game that immerses you in the life of a medieval lord, offering the chance to transform a modest village into a thriving city. Manage resources, establish production chains, and expand your territories through conquest. Drawing inspiration from the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords emphasizes historical accuracy in both gameplay mechanics and visuals. It avoids common medieval clichés to create a more authentic, vibrant, and believable world. The game offers a gridless city-building experience, allowing full freedom of placement and rotation. Building mechanics reflect the organic growth of medieval towns, influenced by trade routes and the landscape. Develop your city from a central marketplace, expanding residential, commercial, and industrial districts naturally. Establish farms based on soil fertility, designate hunting grounds according to animal populations, and ensure access to essential resources. Allocate areas for housing using the historical burgage plot system, where homes are built according to the roads and available space. Larger homes can be expanded to generate additional resources, with homeowners contributing by growing vegetables, raising livestock, and supporting the community's needs beyond what managed farms and industries provide. Navigate the unique challenges of each season, from the bountiful spring rains to the harsh winter snows. Manor Lords features a diverse range of era-appropriate goods, requiring transportation and processing into finished products. Balance your people's basic needs with the production of luxury items, trade goods, and military equipment. Resources scattered across the map encourage the establishment of specialized settlements, such as mining colonies and agricultural villages. Strategic decisions, like choosing between iron-rich regions or fertile farmlands, shape your expansion. Expansion impacts the environment directly, with wildlife migration, soil fertility decline, and deforestation as potential consequences. Establish trade routes to sell surplus goods and enrich your population, using wealth to upgrade homes, import necessary items, and collect taxes. Your territory is but a small piece of a vast land, where rival lords pose inevitable conflicts. Lead your people into battle, valuing each life and considering the cost of every death. Train skilled warriors alongside town militia, dealing with banditry or engaging in territorial conflicts. Mercenaries can be hired for a price, offering a strategic option in times of need. Real-time tactical battles require careful consideration of factors like fatigue, weather, and equipment. Command wisely to achieve victory, mindful of the human cost each battle entails.
