It’s basically like Banished, but with a Total War style RTS element. The differentiator, aside from the RTS component, is a focus on historical accuracy, attention to detail and realism, and aesthetics. Banished and its 4,000 clones miss the mark of what city builders about with their heavily grid based building systems. At its core, Manor Lords lets you build a medieval village that looks and functions organically. That’s something the genre has been sorely missing for years now.
Anyone know what the hype is about? Is it like Stronghold? I’m not too keen on getting early access.
Comment I saw elsewhere was :
Banished meets city skylines meets total war.
All great games and this supposedly brings them together well
I loved banished! Maybe I need to check out this one…
