Lord of the City Builders

Set in late 14th-century Franconia, Manor Lords is a city-building game which includes real-time tactical warfare. The game can also be considered a colony simulation. There are three different modes in Manor Lords, titled Rise to Prosperity, Restoring the Peace, and On the Edge. They are differentiated by the aspects they focus on: Rise to Prosperity and On the Edge respectively emphasize growth through city-building and conquest through warfare, while Restoring the Peace gives a more balanced experience. The game offers a degree of customizability; players are able to adjust in-game values such as starting position and off-map threats.
