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.

What is happening now

Manor Lords is a medieval city builder and management simulation that launched into early access in April 2024. The game tasks players with constructing and managing settlements across procedurally generated maps, balancing resources, construction, and population needs. Since launch, the developer has focused on expanding the game's systems and content. A major update introduced a construction overhaul that separates building projects into basic and advanced categories, with larger structures now requiring skilled workers. The same patch added new food production options including oats and cheese, along with advanced production buildings. Most recently, the game added livestock breeding mechanics - notably cattle herding - as a core economic system. The update celebrations coincided with the title reaching 4 million copies sold. Slavic Magic has outlined a development roadmap with further updates planned through the end of summer, continuing to refine and expand the simulation's depth.
