Manor Lords - RTS Battles & City Builder
« on: January 03, 2021, 02:35:30 pm »
I bounced on this game on YouTube and it actually seems pretty interesting. Here are some videos. If someone knows more about this feel free to discuss. :)

I'll post more info about the game when I find some.

I've been following the game for a while now and it really is a double-edged sword: the concept looks fantastic and I really want a good city-builder more than anything but the project seems very (maybe a bit too) ambitious, especially since the whole game is being developed by one guy(!)

Maybe that's just because I have seen so many games in that genre fail the past years

Can I just say that I’m really impressed with the cav community, 10x more mature than the inf community and a lot less tolerant of the cancerous players

Ahh, I do hope this will succeed because it looks really like a good game. But if it's just one guy developing this then, I'm indeed not setting my hopes too high.

Tbh not much has changed with the project. Just now we have a better idea of how the game will look on release.

Having seen what was announced and show in 2020 i'm a bit disappointed we dont have more to play with but enjoyed the city building aspect.

Wait, I thought it was strategy / age of empire ish, but you can play as a character too?

it's just for you too take a look at your city. it's just funny to walk through a city you just created yourself ^^
So after beating John Price in the Manor Lord 1v1 i can say it's a beautiful city builder game.
In the demo there is only the city building part included so no battles yet, but this is no big deal. I really enjoyed diving into this experience and managing all my famillies and building them houses and to give the work. In the beginning this leads to a inbalance of people and work which has to be done, so you really have to manually assign the people to the right tasks at the right times (seasons are a thing as you might could have expected). It feels really awarding to balance out the firewood production and the food production. With the surplus of goods you create you can start expanding your city so new families will join. Because of the limited range the demo offers once you expand enough and have the resource production up and running it lacks of a challenge, but i'm quite sure that with the full release the game and it's mechanics will  provide many hours of challenges and fun.

i do really recommend trying out the demo for yourself!!

Really sounds interesting. Can't wait what the battles will look like. Is there singleplayer too or only multiplayer?
