Gameplay: What is Manor Lords about?
Manor Lords is a new building game set in the Middle Ages. You take on the role of a nobleman and build a nice little village on a vast map and provide your subjects with food. You make sure that each inhabitant has a job and that the resources earned are used to construct new buildings. At the same time, you’ll make sure that the peasants’ supply doesn’t stop, which would result in their death from hunger or cold.
In addition to building your exceedingly pretty hamlets, you’ll have to fight your hide and claim other sectors of the building map. The sectors can then trade with each other or be attacked by rivals. Battles take place in real time and are reminiscent of Total War in their approaches.
