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 inspired by the growth of real medieval towns and villages, where major trade routes and the landscape influenced how settlements formed and developed.
From boots to barley and hides to honey, Manor Lords features a great variety of goods fitting 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.
Yours is but a small parcel of land in a vast territory, and the competing ambitions between you and rival 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.
This game is a passion project started by a solo developer, grown through player support into a full team of passionate individuals ranging from programmers and 2D artists to Game and Map Designers. You can reach out to us and share your opinions, ideas, and criticisms – we listen to your feedback.

It's in beta... sorry 'early release'
It isn't a half bad game now and I like the graphics but there are a lot of things you can't do yet. I am looking forward to playing when everything is up and running.

I like it.
If this is how it is how the game is now while it is in development, i´m looking forward to how awsome it is going to be when it is completed and out of development phase. =)

Worth supporting
I usually don't buy early access but I'm very glad that I bought this in early access. The developer is working solo on this but he seems very switched on and capable of delivering this game. I spent the weekend playing the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are better city builders out there, but this one is very satisfying. It's simple enough to be able to get stuff down and complicated enough that you feel you can do better and tweak stuff. The medieval village I built strongly reminds me of what I built in Medieval Dynasty and although I know zero about medieval life it felt authentic to me. The graphics are really good and I believe that there are some glitches on some systems but on my machine they worked perfectly. The developer is responding to bug reports on Discord and has hired a professional QA company to assist with that. I really hope this game gets finished - it's going to be awesome.
