Description
Grow dynasties of medieval families and see them evolve and interact as you build their homes, farms and workshops and assign them different tasks, duties and taxes.
Lords and Villeins is a new lighthearted city-building strategy simulation of medieval society where you shape the dynasty of the ruling family. In this game, you don't manage the daily life of every villager; instead, you deal with whole families and their descendants.
Players manage peasant and noble families, expand production chain, work with the church, train an army for the king and influence the daily lives of villagers while making important decisions and engaging with the fantasy of being a ruler.
At the heart of its design is an emotional journey - seeing your villagers grow, evolve, create relationships, go through struggles and challenges to shape their lives and stories in interesting ways.
The Great Houses DLC expands the unique feudal economy simulation of Lords and Villeins allowing you to leave your mark on the world at large with a host of new, intricate gameplay mechanics. You can now truly live out the fantasy of building up a great noble house by growing your influence, purchasing land titles and sending peasant families to exploit the new territories to achieve unprecedented levels of wealth and prosperity. You are not alone in this world however - engage in diplomacy and trade with other, AI-controlled, Noble Houses, including the Royal family and their royal city itself; or choose to reach your goals by military means and subdue your competition. It is up to you to decide what the legacy of your House will be.
Start by designing a sigil and a house motto for your family in a new noble house creator. Once your settlement grows and you are ready to expand, spend resources to acquire more territories, assign families to develop them and send military regiments to protect your new lands. Build trade routes to connect with other settlements on the map, complete quests to strengthen your relationships with other Noble Houses and strike lucrative trade deals with them to bring a new type of caravans to your settlement. On the other hand, if you like the taste of battle and believe in the strength of your armies, you can send them out to raid the territories of other houses and reap the rewards of their labor, or invade them outright, to take control of their lands by force - all thanks to a new turn-based combat system.
