# Manor Lords

Manor Lords is an ambitious medieval city-builder developed by one man (Greg Styczeń, aka Slavic Magic), published by Hooded Horse and released in Early Access on April 26, 2024. It blends organic city-building (free building placement, simulated peasant needs), medieval lordship management (land, taxes, alliances) and tactical battles inspired by Total War. A commercial phenomenon (one million copies in a day), it keeps growing in Early Access with regular major updates.
