About:This game is currently in Early Access.
Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord.
Grow your starting village into a bustling city, manage resources and production chains,
and expand your lands through conquest.
Inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords prioritizes
historical accuracy wherever possible, using it to inform gameplay mechanics and visuals
alike. Common medieval tropes are avoided in favor of historical accuracy, in order to
make the world feel more authentic, colorful, and believable.
Manor Lords provides a gridless city-building experience with full freedom of placement
and rotation. Building mechanics are motivated by the growth of real medieval towns and
villages, where major trade routes and the landscape influenced how settlements shaped
and developed.
- Spreading outward from a central marketplace, build your residential, commercial,
and industrial districts following the natural lay of the land. Establish farms based on
soil fertility, position hunting grounds according to animal populations, and ensure
access to adequate resource deposits and forests to provide the raw materials needed for growth. - Assign areas for housing and watch your residents build their homes in accordance
with the historical burgage plot system. Each region will be subdivided based on your
roads and the allotted space, and homes will scale accordingly. - Build extensions behind larger homes to generate income and resources that would
not otherwise be available. Homeowners don't just pay taxes – they grow vegetables,
raise chickens and goats, and otherwise supply themselves and other townsfolk with
essential needs beyond what your managed farms, pastures, and industries can provide. - Guide your settlements through the unique demands and opportunities of each season,
enjoying the bounty brought by spring rains and preparing for the harsh snows of winter.
From boots to barley and hides to honey, Manor Lords features a great variety of goodsfitting
of the era. Materials need to be transported and processed into finished products through
production chains, and you must balance the basic needs of your people against the desire
to produce luxury items to ensure happiness, manufacture trade goods for export, or forge
arms and armor to aid in your conquests.
- Resources are littered across the map, encouraging you to expand and establish multiple
specialized settlements. Extract valuable ores from your mining colonies, while villages
devoted to agriculture, herding, or hunting supply the grains and meats needed to feed your growing population. - Unchecked expansion will have a direct effect on the environment. Herds of deer will
migrate away from encroaching civilization, lack of crop rotation will worsen soil fertility,
and cutting down too many trees will result in deforestation. - Sell surplus goods to traveling merchants or establish trade routes of your own. Manufacturing
and exporting quality goods will provide wealth to upgrade your city, pay taxes to your liege,
hire mercenaries, and unlock technologies for new industries, products, and tools.
Yours is but a small parcel of land in a vast territory, and the competing ambitions between
you and neighboring lords will inevitably lead to conflict. Lead your people into battle, not
as expendable units to be easily replenished, but as your beloved loyal subjects where every
death is a cost worth considering.
- Train a retinue of skilled warriors to fight battles alongside the levies you raise from the
town militia. At times these soldiers will be needed to crush rebellions or suppress banditry,
and at other times you will lead you men into battle to conquer or defend territory. When
needed, mercenaries are a costly option to bolster your ranks. - A robust diplomacy system will allow you to communicate with other lords, using influence
or threats to sway their actions. These competing lords have their own goals and will seek you
out as well, and your response to their offers or insults can mean the difference between war and peace. - Command real-time tactical battles, taking into consideration fatigue, weather conditions,
and equipment. Position your troops wisely – a smaller force can defeat a larger enemy, if commanded well. - Feel the cost of battle, even in victory, as each fallen soldier represents a lost person from
your city. A pyrrhic victory can spell economic doom, or a winter of rationing food and firewood.
