Manor Lords

About the game

Manor Lords is a medieval strategy game set in Franconia in the late 14th century. You start as the lord of a humble village and work to turn it into a thriving town, managing resources and expanding your lands through conquest and diplomacy. Building has no grid, so you place and rotate everything freely, and homes grow on historical burgage plots where the families take on work of their own. Production chains run from basic needs to luxury goods, and every season brings its own problems, from spring rain to harsh winter. Expand carelessly and the land pays for it, with wildlife leaving, soil wearing out and forests disappearing. In real-time battles, fatigue, weather and equipment all count, and every soldier who falls is missed in your town's economy.
