holy crap i love how when you build buildings on a curved road that their properties still connect. and that you can freely draw the borders of farmland!
I totally agree, I can't tell you how many times I've played other games and been annoyed that I lost some territory because the road went somewhere my buildings couldn't just because of a curve.
Because billion-dollar companies only care how they can milk the most profit from players with the least efforts put in. Indie are true gamers at core. That's the difference.
yes, it really does, but we have to see how much content they will have with first versions I think I will buy it even if the content will be low, I really like this paradigm of rts games, especially the training part of the units. I hope there will be some skill level in different areas that can be improved with training
Somehow I can't expect this to be bad ... there's no way. Slavic is listening to the community + the work he's done before revealing is astonishing... Can't wait to get my hands on this one ❤
its not about being bad its more like how long will you enjoy playing and not be bored because there is not much content hopefully this gets a lot of updates
@Manor Lords I’m already sold all I’d do is play defensive AND BUILD WALLS 😂 I love high ass walls but seriously good luck with this hope this blows up
I'm excited to see this game release someday. Please don't rush it out, taking the right amount of time is crucial. We, the fan base, are more than willing to wait for a good product. Thank you all for your hard work!
Look at Collosal Order as an example. From where they've came from to creating Cities: Skylines. It can be done. They had a very small team of 13 people for that, and even less for the Cities in Motion games they developed. Also, if they could add goo mod support that would make the game take off
This developer has a more talented art department than most AAA+ devs, holy christ that landscape looks so photo realistic it could've been a trailer for Time Team. And if it plays like Banished and Populous and Total War had a threesome baby, I'm in, all the way up to the hilt
It looks photorealistic probably because they are mainly using photogrammetry, which in turn gives a realistic light. :) That's not to say that they haven't done a great job, just that they are quite smart and new in using photogrammetry for a strategy game which I haven't seen done before.
@@matteofalduto766 I believe there is a team now or that he is forming a team atleast. According to info on his patreon he spent 3 years working on this alone and (according to some comments from him) now is recruiting more people.
I've been dreaming of a game like this since I played stonghold back in 2010. You sir are doing a fascinating job, I can tell this game is going to be awesome. Take your time, it probably is very very time-consuming and hard to work on a game of such massive scale as an indie development team, the community has your back!
This game looks utterly fascinating, and the concept of combining a village/town building aspect with an RTS game sounds very appealing and unique. The visuals, from the change in seasons, to the buildings and villages, and even the distant landscapes, not to mention the "animation" of the people is absolutely stunning! I'm really excited about this entire "package" and can't wait for it to be released (although I understand it will be some time before it's available). Please continue to show more videos as the game develops and keep us posted as it develops. Thanks!
@@ldinti03 I dunno. I just found about it recently myself. It's in early pre-alpha, so it's still in the very early stage of development, and the developer is releasing a few "teaser" vids to generate interest.
@Karl Wilson Goodness, that's quite a thing to say about a game there's barely any footage or images of. If you showed me 5 or 6 images of Troy Total War, and I knew nothing about it... I'd probably say something similar. And yet... it turned out to be utter dogshit. Point is... temper your expectations - the number of indie RTS games that have crashed and burned in the last 2 or 3 years is insane.
Because it's a scam, slavic magic is the name of the publisher.. Should raise some alarms right off the bat, and it's being marketed in the same way as every other Eastern European "video game", wishlist on steam, failed "verified" youtubers praising it in the comments, some would even say it seems like most of the comments are paid. Unless enough kids add the game onto their steam wishlist it'll never see the light of day Granted, it does look a bit better than your average slavic scam but still nowhere near as good as people claiming in the comments. It's a real fucking shame that the indie market is being flooded with shit like this
@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 Oh, that's right. It's not like a company from a slavic country made Kingdom Come. Do you have a problem with Eastern Europeans buddy?
I don't know why TH-cam recommended this to me, but I instantly signed up to the newsletter and wishlisted this game. It looks AMAZING for a pre-alpha game! Wish I could play it already even with bugs :)
@@ManorLords that is inspiring. The level of detail is unbelievable. Must have been tons of research hours to even know how the med. times worked. awesome!
Looks great! I just want to build and manage a cosy little hamlet: manage the forest, forage for berries, grow small families, build little lanes and export timber to the local, larger town. Maybe add a fence and hedgerows, maybe a signpost or two. Cosy little hamlet in the forest, where my villagers grow old and live happy, productive lives.
@@kristianthaler6525 Yea.. I was kind of expecting it to go more like: "Cosy little hamlet in the forest, where my villagers get called to arms and slaughter old happy people to end their unproductive lives.". I don't know whether I should be disappointed or not..
@@ManorLords It certainly seems difficult. So many indie games come out with UIs that either look like they were designed by a 12 year-old kidnapped for free labor, or look so good it makes the rest of the game look horrible by comparison. The UI here fits the aesthetic of the game so far, though I'm sure it still has more work to be done on it 👍🏻
this looks absolutely stunning! Ever since Stronghold there hasn't been a game that ticks all my boxes, this might be it!!! Edit - I know it's early, but are you aiming for Mod Support?
@@ManorLords This makes me scared, not that this game isn't going to be fun, but it makes me scared of the games you could make when you do know the engine inside and out hahaha! :P
@@user-qw4se4dh6h I know what you mean, but it will allow people who want to add content long after the developer has moved on to add it. It is one of the ways to make your game last longer. Look at games like Banished, Minecraft, Star Wars Empire at War... All of those were kept alive for long by the modding community, you don't have to use or even look at mods, but the least you can do is give others the chance and ability to express themselves.
This looks awesome! Congratulations to the team! Ps: i think a customizable castle/fort would be really cool, like you might have different pre-sets and you can choose to add them later on, like extensions, new quarters, thrown room, etc. It would make the cities/towns much more unique and interesting, letting each person design their ideal castle. Some ideas are: being able to add a drawbridge, how and where to put towers, inside patios/stone walls surrounding the castle, etc. Well im no expert lol, but again, great game you’ve got here, congratulations!
I'm wondering if late game there will be larger scale warfare. Like, the king declares war on a neighboring kingdom and your levies/army join up with the armies of other lords in your kingdom for really big battles and sieges.
One thing I would change is the regions they look too perfect Like US State borders so if I were the developers i would change them to make interesting and more natural shapes
Congrats, this looks very promising. The key seems to be making a fluid transition between city building and real time battles. It would be cool to have an in-depth system for outfitting peasants and troops that ties in with buildings and natural resources (iron, leather). You could even have artisans, so if your local blacksmith is a master, then your soldiers can benefit from better weapons and armour. But also the opposite, so poor artisans means lower quality equipment. Stables and quality of horses are another mechanic that could be explored. If you have a devoted priest, then your troops will have higher morale - you could even have priests go into battle - warrior priests were a thing during this period. I think making a sort of feedback between these two systems - city building and battles - would make for really engaging gameplay. And I love the idea of mustering peasants, whoever is on hand, to defend the village. It reminds me of the defenders of Helms Deep, a rag tag group of boys and old men who manage to defeat an organised conquering force. More customisation of this home guard, based on the unique details of your settlement would be really interesting.
@@christianbohm6118 It most certainly will age like a fine cheese or fine wine! Also if you don't like the game, why the fuck are you watching gameplay video's?
This is the kind of game I've been searching far and wide for. I've played many RTS and city builder games but I can already tell this will be amazing. Fantastic work, and thanks for always taking your community ideas into consideration.
You won me over completely when you mentioned you can customize the look of your troops. I love medieval plate armor designs (especially germanic and italian) and RPGs tend to get me my knightley fix but to have that level of customization in an RTS/ city builder is godly. I hope you guys have Sallet and Armet helms. Much respect
There are so much I love about this project. The graphical fidelity, the UI, the soundtrack and the combination of simulation and strategy gameplay. Everything so just looks so clean, streamlined and thought-out already. I wish you Greg and your entire development team good luck on this, and I can't wait for it!
The tier'd troop system makes the military side really dynamic and I'm excited to see how it expands and develops overtime. Especially the idea of sacrificing your economy to raise extra peasant militia in dire times or when you need cannon fodder to distract enemy archers. Nice integration of community feedback!
It's definitely an interesting change from games like total war that focus on a "Rock-Paper-Scissors" type of strategy. Instead of being limited to certain unit types, you can equip troops with the tools needed for the environment, weather, and terrain. Which, from what I've gathered from Shadiversity's recent video, seems to be a more authentic approach.
3 tips for long-term success and respect: 1. Listen to the community. 2. Continue development after release (you can add more content than your initial budget allows) 3. Encourage modding (a vibrant mod community can allow each user to build off of your work to play their own personal Masterpiece. I don't play Minecraft or Rimworld in Vanilla, but with mods they are some of my favorites)
I do agree with this 0ver 100% One of the reasons why Skyrim is still so popular after 9 years because of Mods (and heavy marketing and resales. Mod does go a long way to keeping a game relevant for years to come as well as support from the studio/publisher to keep it going for years to come.
I've read many of the other comments, and I have not much to add. It is mind-blowing what you are creating. I'm so excited about this release. And I agree to take your time. I'll be here watching and waiting. 😊
Everyone i know is super hyped for the new AAA game and I'm just sitting here waiting for Manor Lords to have a release date! Love the content, Love the video quality, Love everything about this game! Every aspect just makes me want to keep going back to the steam page every day just to see if its getting released soon! Keep up the hard work and get ready to take my money!
I would love to know how you started your journey in creating this absolute masterpiece. On first glance I can imagine the passion, man hours, & considerations to emersion that is put into the game. only from a few clips. I will be wish listing this on steam, liking, subscribing & leaving a comment. If you are reading this YOU SHOULD TOO.
@@ManorLords I hope this hobby of yours sells well and takes you wherever you’d like to go. I hope you maintain the freedom to create your vision - as you already know by the fans of your work, you’re not alone in your vision.
@@ManorLords His approach is amazing, the attention to detail, etc, I love it. What really caught my eye at first with Manor Lords was how realistic it looked. I honestly thought I was looking at a photo of a medieval village at first. Being a Medieval Historian, I love what I am seeing.
@@thomassutphin7904 being a medieval historian you HONESTLY thought you were looking at a PICTURE of a medieval village? You may need to look into the history of the camera a little bit.
You could simply compliment them without insulting your own intelligence. Seems like it would make more sense. Although, I see you have a flair for being overdramatic, so probably not.
I never really liked medieval games, space sci-fi and steampunks are my thing. But this game looks like it might finally turn me into a believer: the ambience, the apparent simplicity, yet the scale of it... Please make this work!
I've been dreaming of a game like this for years. I love the idea of settlement and being able to build up from practically nothing. This looks like it has a ton of potential! I also really like the way the diplomacy is designed! It seems to be really free and gives you the potential to say exactly what you want as well as the possibility for more complex relations rather than bland alliances. I would love to see more about diplomacy and the potential agreements or other general diplomatic relations that could be created and established. You, sir, have done a great job. I am absolutely enthralled with this idea and my mind is going crazy planning what I want to do already, and a release date hasn't even been announced! Again, great job. Thank you for making my gaming dream come true. :)
I am glad to see RTS games are not dead. I remember playing Caesar and Pharaoh back in the 90's, and then more modern RTS games that followed. I'm excited to see what a modern title will look like.
😂 After the guy said 'we need more workers here' in that northern accent I instantly thought of LOTR Battle for middle earth, and although the game is obviously very different it gives me a similar vibe. Looks great, I'll definitely be getting it.
This game is proof of how important passion is before money and opportunity. Thank you so much for making the game that I have dreamed of since I was little. ♥
Wishlisted! I hope that helps :) I've missed historical city builders. I have really fond memories of the Sierra days and this has me excited to get back to the genre.
Unbelievable! The ground level view looks almost like real life. The buildings look like they're lived in and are actually constructed from real materials in the game world (if that makes sense). Best graphic design I've ever seen in a game, in terms of a realistic, living and evolving environment. These gameplay elements are astonishing also. The growth from an encampment into a few houses, then into a town. It feels... real. I can totally see this is how it would have looked like in history. Recruiting units and waging war seems like a real big consideration to make. It directly uses villagers, hindering your economy and potentially losing your villagers. But that makes is so much more interesting. I like that armies start out small, like war bands that actually fight for their town and cause. I can't wait for this. Been hoping for a game like this. Good luck, developers!
I added this to my wishlist within 10 seconds of the video. At the end of the video I forgot I did this and went to add it again and was briefly shocked that it was already there.
@@ManorLords my pleasure! Cannot wait to play it. It is just the kind if game I've been yearning for. If it doesnt come to fruition then I'll at least enjoy the videos :)
This game looks amazing, both graphic and gameplay wise. It basically contains all the features I could wish for in a strategy/management game. Keep up the great work!
Adding onto this game. What would be nice is that units or even mercenaries vary in stats and skills based upon the location or the kingdom or land they come from. For instance recruiting mercenaries from rural and isolated tribal lands, you get special bonuses. I dont know just an idea i had thought of when looking at the map and the unit types.
2:55 man hearing the rallying voice for the militia with the church bells in the background gives me chills - such a logical feature. It's going to be so cool trying to fight off desperate situations.
This seems like a solid and healthy approach on reviving the strategy genre into gaming industry. I am really excited and willing to pay a lot for this heavily realistic looking medieval experience.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Oh yeah? Then explain how did TW: Three Kingdoms have 190k concurrent players on launch day? Strategy genre is not dead, solid games are selling better than ever. It's just that the genre is also filled incompetent studios that keep pumping out absolute duds, mostly due to entry barrier being lower than ever before.
This game looks so good cant wait for it to come out. Hopefully youll do an early access release as well. Whats shows in the video of rts with a good city builder that seems inspired by simcity or something its a brilliant idea. Great work your doing being waiting for a game like this for ages.
Yeah they've put same things in the game just like past games but still aoe4 looks amazing and fresh...but i guess manor lords gonna more interesting..just it need to be look like colourful as aoe4 looks. Then it would be more fun to play.
I've spent 15 hours playing the demo. You sir managed to hook me like no other game in a very looooooong time. Hopefully we'll get to play this game sometime next year. I've been following the development for a long time now and was amazed how well the demo worked. Take your time, keep up the good work, you have created something very special that a lot of people have been asking for for years.

@@ManorLords I feel what he's saying, maybe follow natural terrains, like rivers or mountains/hills. Just a way to make territories feel more organic.
But games does not have to be as real to be fun
This can be fun if it affects the trade, war and other stuff

Congrats, this looks very promising. The key seems to be making a fluid transition between city building and real time battles. It would be cool to have an in-depth system for outfitting peasants and troops that ties in with buildings and natural resources (iron, leather). You could even have artisans, so if your local blacksmith is a master, then your soldiers can benefit from better weapons and armour. But also the opposite, so poor artisans means lower quality equipment. Stables and quality of horses are another mechanic that could be explored. If you have a devoted priest, then your troops will have higher morale - you could even have priests go into battle - warrior priests were a thing during this period. I think making a sort of feedback between these two systems - city building and battles - would make for really engaging gameplay. And I love the idea of mustering peasants, whoever is on hand, to defend the village. It reminds me of the defenders of Helms Deep, a rag tag group of boys and old men who manage to defeat an organised conquering force. More customisation of this home guard, based on the unique details of your settlement would be really interesting.
I was already planning on buying this game, but after the voice of this narrator I'll definitely buy the game
Its a shew in for me lol I've got my money just take it.
Oh hello game that I'm going to lose thousands of hours to.
Finally, a game with a landscape that actually seems realistic, with the forests and treelines, and the overall look
Good luck!
Don't forget that a game isn't all about the graphics, rather the actual gameplay.
Certainly not false, I just wanted to point out that this game nailed the landscape element for me.
This looks incredible. Fantastic work, looking forward to the release!
Thank you very much!
This is probably going to be the best RTS game ever.
And the best successor to Banished!
This comment will not age well. lol
@@christianbohm6118 It most certainly will age like a fine cheese or fine wine!
Also if you don't like the game, why the fuck are you watching gameplay video's?
Christian Bohm this Christian guy needs to fuck off
@@teaser6089 To find out if he's liking the game or not?!
I like this, looks like a fusion of Stronghold, Banished, the Settlers, and Anno!
and foundation
Literally can't wait for this game.
Man, nine months later, i can't still stop watching the trailer again and again
i cannot wait to get my hands on this game! slavic has been so responsive to the community and every update he's been giving has been so exciting
i literally cry on every small update related to this game
This is the kind of game I've been searching far and wide for. I've played many RTS and city builder games but I can already tell this will be amazing. Fantastic work, and thanks for always taking your community ideas into consideration.
Thanks! I really appreciate it :)
You won me over completely when you mentioned you can customize the look of your troops. I love medieval plate armor designs (especially germanic and italian) and RPGs tend to get me my knightley fix but to have that level of customization in an RTS/ city builder is godly. I hope you guys have Sallet and Armet helms. Much respect
Thanks! Glad you like it. Just venetian sallets for now, I'm gonna expand the time scale a bit later on, to include more 15 century armour.
@@ManorLords If you bring muslims look in them this will be interesting
Loving the mechanics so far! Looks to be running pretty dang smooth as well, keep up the great work sir!
Thanks Havoc! Trying to optimize as much as I can. Cheers!
There are so much I love about this project. The graphical fidelity, the UI, the soundtrack and the combination of simulation and strategy gameplay. Everything so just looks so clean, streamlined and thought-out already.
I wish you Greg and your entire development team good luck on this, and I can't wait for it!
Thanks! That's very kind of you :)

@@KITT691 lol
That's how Stronghold 2 should look like.
Great work and cant wait to play!
I've been wanting EXACTLY this type of game since Stronghold, Can't wait till it's available for purchase
The second i saw the thumbnail i knew i would like this game, every second that passed made me want it even more.
I didnt see it but I know just one thing, the hype is real and its consuming my soul! 😲😅
The tier'd troop system makes the military side really dynamic and I'm excited to see how it expands and develops overtime. Especially the idea of sacrificing your economy to raise extra peasant militia in dire times or when you need cannon fodder to distract enemy archers. Nice integration of community feedback!
It's definitely an interesting change from games like total war that focus on a "Rock-Paper-Scissors" type of strategy. Instead of being limited to certain unit types, you can equip troops with the tools needed for the environment, weather, and terrain. Which, from what I've gathered from Shadiversity's recent video, seems to be a more authentic approach.
3 tips for long-term success and respect:
1. Listen to the community.
2. Continue development after release (you can add more content than your initial budget allows)
3. Encourage modding (a vibrant mod community can allow each user to build off of your work to play their own personal Masterpiece. I don't play Minecraft or Rimworld in Vanilla, but with mods they are some of my favorites)
I do agree with this 0ver 100% One of the reasons why Skyrim is still so popular after 9 years because of Mods (and heavy marketing and resales. Mod does go a long way to keeping a game relevant for years to come as well as support from the studio/publisher to keep it going for years to come.
I salute the developer, a true knight creating this masterpiece. You sir, bow to no one.
That is sick, can't wait to make a showcase on it! Great job
I've read many of the other comments, and I have not much to add. It is mind-blowing what you are creating. I'm so excited about this release. And I agree to take your time. I'll be here watching and waiting. 😊
Thank you! :)
oh god, what a nice gift this morning, i was suppose quit the house today, must cancel everything
Ah yes, cancel the whole day for this 4 min video xD Seems reasonable
Full devoted to this like drug addict
Everyone i know is super hyped for the new AAA game and I'm just sitting here waiting for Manor Lords to have a release date! Love the content, Love the video quality, Love everything about this game! Every aspect just makes me want to keep going back to the steam page every day just to see if its getting released soon! Keep up the hard work and get ready to take my money!
Thank you! :)
Yea I'm waiting for this too
I'm getting heavy feelings of the original Stronghold games when I watch this and I can't explain how excited I am.
I'm a simple man.
I see medieval gameplay, I subscribed!
Thanks for subbing!
I would love to know how you started your journey in creating this absolute masterpiece. On first glance I can imagine the passion, man hours, & considerations to emersion that is put into the game. only from a few clips. I will be wish listing this on steam, liking, subscribing & leaving a comment. If you are reading this YOU SHOULD TOO.
Wow thank you. You're way too kind! To answer your question, it was just a hobby for me, that got out of hand.
Thanks for supporting!
@@ManorLords I hope this hobby of yours sells well and takes you wherever you’d like to go. I hope you maintain the freedom to create your vision - as you already know by the fans of your work, you’re not alone in your vision.
I can’t wait to watch The Spiffing Brit ruin the entire economy of this game
Yes, me too........
We shall grab ourselves a cup of Yorkshire Tea for that.
I think you may want to put in some Yorkshire tea Easter eggs to appease the spiffing Brit. Or you know name one of the lords after him.
@@oldage001 Good idea!
With some Yorkshire Tea!
I swear real life is just a computer game...
I look like my computer is going to head out as soon as I press play.
what does that mean?
LIFE IS A SIMULATION!
We are just sims of a higher being
@@Duenschissdoktor He's implying that the game is so good, that it looks better than real life, simply hyperbole but for a purposeful reason.
@@JackFlicks hes actually a german youtuber i used to watch, apparently his english sucks real bad
Just heard about this, I am Pumped!!!!! can't wait, but I understand you need time to make it the best we have ever seen. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the support!
I've been wanting a game like this for years, it's like if banished and total war had a child
WOW. This game was recommended to me when looking at Ostriv and I am 100% on board.
Ostriv has one of most unique settings out of all city builders, I love the atmosphere.
@@ManorLords His approach is amazing, the attention to detail, etc, I love it. What really caught my eye at first with Manor Lords was how realistic it looked. I honestly thought I was looking at a photo of a medieval village at first. Being a Medieval Historian, I love what I am seeing.
@@thomassutphin7904 being a medieval historian you HONESTLY thought you were looking at a PICTURE of a medieval village?
You may need to look into the history of the camera a little bit.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Wow, my apologies for complimenting a game developer. I'll know better next time :/
You could simply compliment them without insulting your own intelligence. Seems like it would make more sense. Although, I see you have a flair for being overdramatic, so probably not.
As someone who loves customization in video games the ability to customize your knights to that extent is awesome
I have a feeling that this will be strategy game of the decade!
I never really liked medieval games, space sci-fi and steampunks are my thing. But this game looks like it might finally turn me into a believer: the ambience, the apparent simplicity, yet the scale of it... Please make this work!
A magnificent game c: I hope we will enjoy it as soon as possible, big appreciation. Thanks for such an amazing RTS. Finger crossed and keep going 👍
I've been dreaming of a game like this for years. I love the idea of settlement and being able to build up from practically nothing. This looks like it has a ton of potential! I also really like the way the diplomacy is designed! It seems to be really free and gives you the potential to say exactly what you want as well as the possibility for more complex relations rather than bland alliances. I would love to see more about diplomacy and the potential agreements or other general diplomatic relations that could be created and established.
You, sir, have done a great job. I am absolutely enthralled with this idea and my mind is going crazy planning what I want to do already, and a release date hasn't even been announced! Again, great job. Thank you for making my gaming dream come true. :)
I am glad to see RTS games are not dead. I remember playing Caesar and Pharaoh back in the 90's, and then more modern RTS games that followed. I'm excited to see what a modern title will look like.
The like to dislike ratio is huge! Fantastic work!
Thank you! People are so supportive, I'm very very grateful
😂 After the guy said 'we need more workers here' in that northern accent I instantly thought of LOTR Battle for middle earth, and although the game is obviously very different it gives me a similar vibe. Looks great, I'll definitely be getting it.
The scene of militia gathering on the spot looks fantastic and thrilling. No games have ever tried this type of military unit creation.
This game is proof of how important passion is before money and opportunity. Thank you so much for making the game that I have dreamed of since I was little. ♥
Wishlisted! I hope that helps :)
I've missed historical city builders. I have really fond memories of the Sierra days and this has me excited to get back to the genre.
Thanks for supporting! Oh yeah, I love me some Pharaoh myself.
@@ManorLords My dad and I used to make ever more challenging custom scenarios for each other :). Some really good memories with that game.
Unbelievable! The ground level view looks almost like real life. The buildings look like they're lived in and are actually constructed from real materials in the game world (if that makes sense). Best graphic design I've ever seen in a game, in terms of a realistic, living and evolving environment.
These gameplay elements are astonishing also. The growth from an encampment into a few houses, then into a town. It feels... real. I can totally see this is how it would have looked like in history.
Recruiting units and waging war seems like a real big consideration to make. It directly uses villagers, hindering your economy and potentially losing your villagers. But that makes is so much more interesting.
I like that armies start out small, like war bands that actually fight for their town and cause.
I can't wait for this. Been hoping for a game like this. Good luck, developers!
nonnnce
The Settlers on steroids with extra historical accuracy!
I added this to my wishlist within 10 seconds of the video. At the end of the video I forgot I did this and went to add it again and was briefly shocked that it was already there.
Haha :D Thank you so much for your kindness and support!
@@ManorLords my pleasure! Cannot wait to play it. It is just the kind if game I've been yearning for. If it doesnt come to fruition then I'll at least enjoy the videos :)
Interesting Anno+Guild+Stronghold mix - Take my money!
This game looks amazing, both graphic and gameplay wise. It basically contains all the features I could wish for in a strategy/management game. Keep up the great work!
Adding onto this game. What would be nice is that units or even mercenaries vary in stats and skills based upon the location or the kingdom or land they come from. For instance recruiting mercenaries from rural and isolated tribal lands, you get special bonuses. I dont know just an idea i had thought of when looking at the map and the unit types.
Perhaps militia or retinues from wealthier territories with blacksmiths have better armor, something like that?
Suggest it! The game has a community feedback page ;)
2:55 man hearing the rallying voice for the militia with the church bells in the background gives me chills - such a logical feature. It's going to be so cool trying to fight off desperate situations.
This seems like a solid and healthy approach on reviving the strategy genre into gaming industry. I am really excited and willing to pay a lot for this heavily realistic looking medieval experience.
Reviving? What rock have you been living under?
@@Ev3rmoving to be fair strategy games don't sell as well as they used to...
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Oh yeah? Then explain how did TW: Three Kingdoms have 190k concurrent players on launch day? Strategy genre is not dead, solid games are selling better than ever. It's just that the genre is also filled incompetent studios that keep pumping out absolute duds, mostly due to entry barrier being lower than ever before.
This game looks so good cant wait for it to come out. Hopefully youll do an early access release as well. Whats shows in the video of rts with a good city builder that seems inspired by simcity or something its a brilliant idea. Great work your doing being waiting for a game like this for ages.
this is how Age of empires 4's graphics should be like!
Exactly

@@Tothesun_ Yıl sonu çıkacak diye tahmin ediliyor. Türkçe ile ilgili bir bilgi duymadım şimdilik olmayacak sanırım.
Yeah they've put same things in the game just like past games but still aoe4 looks amazing and fresh...but i guess manor lords gonna more interesting..just it need to be look like colourful as aoe4 looks. Then it would be more fun to play.
@@Tothesun_ türkçe illaki olur sonradanda olsa eklenir diye tahmin ediyorum
I've spent 15 hours playing the demo. You sir managed to hook me like no other game in a very looooooong time.
Hopefully we'll get to play this game sometime next year. I've been following the development for a long time now and was amazed how well the demo worked.
Take your time, keep up the good work, you have created something very special that a lot of people have been asking for for years.
Can't believe I've never heard of this game, this looks awesome good job.
Thanks, glad you like it!
