The dev statement that came out that basically said this isn't going to be Total War, or Crusader Kings, but Banished with some combat on the side, that made me happy. That's all I want. A modern successor to Banished. What a stellar city builder that was. And still is.

[@RachelMcCarn]

Yes! I've put hundreds of hours into banished, been playing since it's release. It's one of those games that I just pick up and can spend an entire evening playing just to relax. I never try and do crazy mod villages either.. but it's just so perfect for how I like to play games.

[@Liednard]

Amen to that! After Banished, all city builder/survival games just reused the very same systems with minimal improvement, changing the setting and production chains... Very hyped for this one :) I also hope it comes with a better AI than what we usually see

[@Livvvid]

I only played banished for the first time last year and couldn't get enough. Despite its popularity and many attempts, I feel like no other game came close. But I haven't tried manor lords yet.

[@jmgonzales7701]

Im kinda like u but different, i was into FPS games especially Milsim games but at some point i got too toxic over it and got very frustrated and it got stale for me mostly. Thou i still play at least 3 fps games namely Squad and tarkov and I'm thinking about gray zone warfare as to buy but only as my Last fps game that i will buy. Nowadays i normally Play stealth games like Assasins creed and Batman arkham, stealth games for me offer a different sense of enjoyment because not only is it a tactical approach by careful process of elimination but its not as grindy. But as my work schedule gets worse i tend to have limited playing time and the problem with most fps milsim games is that they take way too much time so I'm looking at different genres and rts and turn based RPG came to my mind. I Wanna try rts and city builder as its a thinking mans game and its practically chess lol how ever i want it to have some bannerlord concept where u can still be in the fields and control ur own guy while leading an army as it will turn into a society simulator

This game is Stronghold+Banished+Total War and I love all 3 of them and all 3 of them had something missing in them, and that was the other two games.

Total War lacked anything city building and micro managing your town. I am very much ready for this game. 🙌

I know it's going back in time quite a ways, but I imagined this game to be like a modern version of Pharaoh. Primarily city-building with some combat. Turns out, it's surprisingly not far off and I'm loving it so far.

I bought it and played it for an hour and a half and then refunded it because in that hour and a half i felt like i experienced everything the game had to offer at the time and that's the curse of it being early access. I actually did enjoy what little of the game there was to play and now that I just found out it was made by one guy I'm thoroughly impressed. Was it worth the 45$ AUD i paid for it? At the time no. One day it will be and ill rebuy it then and it has a lot of potential

[@electronicmoshpit]

This is what I'm looking for. Is there going to be more farming when you play as the character?

a game jurnalist that knows what he says? i randomply found this chanel and imedientaly subscribed keep it up

[@ninjaman5239]

This really reminds me of the Impressions era games like Caesar 3 and Lords of the Realm. This looks right up the alley for anyone who wants a cozy city builder with a little bit of combat. I'm super excited.

[@SixOThree]

There are so many gameplay elements from Lords of the Realm II in this game. And that makes me so freaking happy. Every so often I install that game and how nothing else does it like that. And boy does this game scratch that itch.

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

but i do love the build the equipment for each soldier part. feels like an RPG but with like 200+ characters. also cant wait for the lvling up mechanics for the army.

[@blindiris22]

It's no Simpson's Hit & Run, which is disappointing, but I'm still looking forward to playing this.

[@cocoxcocoa]

I hope the success of the EA lets the main dev hire a bunch more people to speed up development. Manor Lords can easily become one of those games that just lasts forever and gets constant updates for 10 years. It would be really cool to see the game grow to the point where you are making a full on medieval city with a castle, and going to war with armies of thousands of people that you have spent the time to build up.

[@magiklok]

Despite how much thr dev says combat isnt a focus. I love just how in depth it is, and showing just how hard and difficult it is maintaining an army and how painful it can be to an economy losing soldiers

[@Ahntera-n4u]

I have this in my wishlist and hope it plays good on steam deck. I didn't know you can actually walk around as the lord in third person :O that's cool

[@michaeliversen898]

I've never played an rts but this might be my first

[@Faceplay2]

Honestly, one thing I would love in the video game and they might do this in the final version is the king that you get to walk around as it would be nice if you could customize the character, you know, put clothing or armor on the sims.

[@bine35]

I read that the lord portrait you select in the beginning is supposed to determine who you look like in game but that it's not implemented yet

[@electronicmoshpit]

When you walk around the city can you help fight and collect resources and build?

[@shahoul1]

Yeah,I was getting suspicious about some stuff on this game. I was really looking forward to it, but then it kept getting slow updates. Then it was delayed into AN EARLY ACCESS, and then, even though the Dev used to insist this was an RTS and not a City Builder, a few weeks ago he wrote a post saying the opposite. I don't know how to feel about this game.

[@Wolfgang7913]

Slow updates? Dude it's one guy making the game. He delayed it to finish the game? You get suspicious when games get delayed? I get suspicious when they get rushed out unplayable and broken... Also I looked all over the reddit and the developers posts and I couldn't find a single instance of him saying it wasn't a city builder.

[@micahsean8664]

For a single developer the production value is astonishingly good. Just look at the UI... I'm totally blown away.

[@hoodfav9001]

Every time I start one of the videos, I feel like a kid again, walking inside a gamestop.

[@dallesamllhals9161]

1:27 Settlers? OH! A YOUNG Falcon...

[@SixOThree]

This totally scratches an itch left by Lords of the Realm II. This is a game I've wanted to come back to for years.

[@ethanoshea4102]

id be very interested to see additional civilisations or themes I guess in forms of mods or official stuff. Think it's not a bad idea tbh. I think this game could be a platform for medieval city builders imo
