I will hope to take a look ASAP - but I may not give it as much attention as it should get. I'm not sure how deep I will want to get in the EA aspect of it, but I'm sure I still will. Mostly, it's new Rimworld stuff that will keep me from pouncing.
Done right, that would be a cool game.Daehawk wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:19 am This makes me imagine a game of my own. Id call it Sherwood Forest and you'd be like Robin Hood and start out with your own merry band in the woods . You'd first start and build your base. You'd enlist new members and run missions out in the land to steal from the evil rich rulers and help out the poor while building and expanding your base. Setting traps through the woods to ala Dungeon Keeper to keep the baddies out.
"Wishlist" is how they are weighing it's popularity, if that is what you are asking.Victoria Raverna wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:49 am Who pushed this game? I'm confused that a lot of articles about this game that claimed it is to be chart topping or super popular when it is not even coming out yet.
Why this game blow up before release?
The game is going into Early Access and so I'll be avoiding it for now, but the above is another good reason.Manor Lords' sole developer, Greg "Slavic Magic" Styczeń, has made a plea to everyone with a review copy of the soon-to-be-released city builder: please stop messing around with the castle planner and breaking the game.
In response to the recent issue, he tweeted, "I just saw one press review try to cheese their way and build town walls with the castle planner tool, please restrain yourself from doing so. I'll add a *proper* town wall tool in one of the updates and the castle planner is meant for manors/castles. Should've locked it for now."
Because the dev is going to change things within the game on how stuff works, which is pretty normal for any early access title. Some folks like that but I prefer to not have to "unlearn" parts of a game. Also, as the dev says, "I'll add a *proper* town wall tool in one of the updates" which means that the tool won't be in tomorrow's release. Again, I prefer to wait.

I can see how the amount of eyes on this has made this one single developer a little jittery. Do you think that's really all that... odd?Blackhawk wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:00 pm People doing unexpected things with your game on the internet is part and parcel of developing a game. Most see it as publicity - channels like Let's Game it Out and Spiffing Brit have resulted in a few sales to yours truly. Trying to call them out for playing it wrong is... odd.
Manor Lords is a city-building game packed full of promise, but as it starts out in early access, much of that seems quite a long way off. Systems for trade, town development, negotiation and diplomacy, and real-time combat are all indicated in the early access build, but we’ll have to wait and see how those function when they arrive down the line.
For the time being, however, we’re left with one of the most charming city-building games I’ve ever played. Manor Lords is a delight to behold: the visuals are realistic and organic, and they allow me to zoom in to street level where I can watch my villagers go about their daily lives. The food vendor at the market is selling game caught in the nearby forest, while another family carries baskets of stone to the trading post. Our long-suffering ox, Edres, can always be found lugging timber to a construction site somewhere in town, where a family might be putting up a new home or workshop.
It’s hard to overstate just how good Manor Lords is at evoking a very convincing sense of place, not only in the town that demands most of my attention but in the wider countryside as well. Angling the camera up a bit so that it’s parallel with the ground, I can look out across rolling hills covered in trees, grassy fields and valleys, and along winding dirt roads that disappear into the next dale.
People have been clamouring about Manor Lords, a new medieval city builder and management sim, for quite some time now. Only three days ago, it hit 3 million wishlists on Steam, and it seems as if that number wasn't an empty promise, as the game has seen some incredibly impressive numbers within hours of its release.
Only an hour after Manor Lords opened its Early Access doors, it reached 100,000 concurrent users on Steam. Now, a couple of hours later, it's sitting pretty at just under 130,000—and it keeps on rising. It's also managed to beat Stardew Valley, Helldivers 2, and Fallout 4, as it sits as the eighth most-played game and the global top seller on Steam right now.
You can get sheep! You need to build (and staff with a family) the Livestock Trading Post, then you can import sheep. After that, you can build (and again, add a family) a Sheep Farm to gather wool.
For sheep?Blackhawk wrote:Offer them wood.
