Your videos always bring me comfort. Even if I’m not interested in the game, I just enjoy the way you review things and I’m glad you’ve chosen the path you have. Keep on keeping on bud

When the dev made the post discribing all the things he's game is and isn't, he hit on exactly what I was looking for. Glad it holds up.

Making the game you want to make will always result in a better game than making the game you feel you have to make due to the audience. Every time I come across a game that feels like it had checkboxes of trendy mechanics they had to hit, I can't help but feel like the creators strayed from their vision to hit them.

What’s crazy is HE nailed it. One. Freaking. Guy. That says a lot about big game developers.

Man, this looks good. I love how they incorporate how modern RTS and citybuilders feels like. Less micromanagement and more natural evolution of the city.

I'm going to use the city or village layouts from Kingdom Come/ Witcher 3 and recreate them in my Manor Lords playthrough. I always enjoyed how some of the buildings were placed, making the villages/city easy to traverse.

I’d love to see a deeper acknowledgment of those who fell in battle. Like a mourning mechanism or an indication so when you select a family to perform a task you would know that one of theirs died fighting for you.

Best reviews on KZread. You have not steered me wrong once. Thank you for your excellent research and review.

All I've really been looking for is a good, in-depth, town builder. The extra stuff like small scale battles and regional diplomacy/conflict is icing on the cake. I had a BLAST with the demo that was out a few years back and I'm REALLY looking forward to this one. I have Gamepass so I'll play it there for now, but when full release drops I'll buy it on Steam.

Nice to see reviews even if it's "only" an Early Access title. Not everyone 'bothers' reviewing Early Access-titles. But I guess the amount of interest in this game might be a contributing factor :D

My favorite video game youtuber. Love ya ACG

I never do early access, but this has me thinking of changing that.

great vid mate cant wait to get it

First time live lol. Looking fresh Karak

Glad to find out he sold 1M copies at launch, but that figure has since plunged to 10k concurrent players (so the video title made a wrong prediction). Some thoughts I had: - game is quite pricey for an early access product - establishing supply chains hinted at lots of micro-management - ironically, I learnt from watching youtube videos that gameplay involved expanding within starter region, then expanding to nearby regions, which means the micro-management thing is COMPOUNDED - youtube videos also highlighted the amount of supply-chain/resource upgrades needed to equip a small squad of farmers - no multi-player - even if in future eg. each map (every region conquered) becomes a "player kingdom" that other players can invade, it's still an isolated instance. But this type of PvP model I don't mind at all. - as is, it's really a game for hardcore city-builder nerds, a niche compared to the Total War crowd - being a solo indie project means it's probably going to have lots of missing features, lots of features that are shallow implementations, that either don't really affect or have oversized effects on the outcomes (ie. make or break) - 👍👍 for CHURCHES 😊😊

Sounds like they looked a lot at Banished when making this game. And that is a good thing. Seems more in-depth, which I often wished Banished was. Sure need to keep an eye on this!

This looks interesting but the RTS snd world building aspect seem a little bit tedious. I have wanted a game forever that has lighter RTS and world building with a heavier focus on comabt staging, planning and execution.

The houses racked and stacked like that not look organic what so ever. It looks manufactured aka it looks like modern design and not anywhere near the period piece of the setting. If only they could somehow make the villager housing more like how Foundation handles. That would be amazing.

If anyone's traumatically obsessed with purely hardcore Medieval warfare and society content I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

Extremely excited, I always dream for more games like these. Even though it doesn't try to acomplish everything, I really hope this game will have a good modding scene, so lack luster features like diplomacy could maybe approach Crusader King's level.
