What is the most anticipated game of all? Steam? Such an honor seems destined for some title that monopolizes all possible spotlights, but the truth is that Manor Lords has crept to the top of the list of desired games on the Valve platform. Slavic Magic’s work promises a lot and its launch is just around the corner.
It will be next April 26 when the project initiated by a single developer will be presented in formato de Early Access, both on Steam and GOG and PC Game Pass, so it will progressively include new improvements. The studio’s proposal is to offer large doses of strategy inspired by the art and architecture of 14th century Franconia, but maintaining constant historical rigor.
The experience of Manor Lords It seeks to ensure that there are no limitations when building its cities, so “there is no grid or limits on placement and rotation.” The presence of trade routes and the movement of people They are key for populations to prosper, giving rise to industrial districts, farms, residential areas and markets that have unique characteristics.
The passing of the seasons determines the production of crops, hunting reserves must be delimited and tax collection is essential to supply services to the entire society. Obviously, production chains are a key element of the economy of the cities, but without these being above the happiness of the people. Furthermore, the balance between import and export must be continually reviewed.
With everything, Manor Lords He will constantly launch baits so that expansion is a very juicy idea, either by extracting new materials or expanding farmland, but it must be done with caution. Excessive expansion will cause deer to flee the area, soil fertility will be affected and excessive logging will nip in the bud the possibilities of obtaining new wood.
On the other hand, the title also has an important war strategy component. We will not be the only ones with great ambition, so we will have to settle accounts on the battlefield and for this we must train the companies; Another option is to hire some fierce mercenaries. The fights are in real timeso there are factors such as fatigue, weather conditions and the equipment carried by the units can tip the balance in one direction or another.
It must be taken into account that, even if a contest is won, the casualties can be so brutal that in the long run it will be a disgrace for the city’s economy. That is why we must always consider the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations that avoid bloodshed in Manor Lords.
