Lords and Villeins

>Steam Store<

About the game: 

You are in for a complex simulator of medieval market economy and city building. The royal family has entrusted you with the development of new lands, and now your duty is to extract the maximum benefit from them for the state, for yourself and, if you wish, even for the settlement's residents! You will have to distribute land, build houses, determine tax policy, set priorities and expand the supply system in order to provide the growing population with everything necessary.

In Lords and Villeins, the family is the main unit of society. A family's profession determines its occupation and place in the economy. Give them a plot of land, build a house – and the family will independently develop its household and business, as well as manage its goods, set aside part for paying taxes and trade with caravans and other families to earn money and replenish supplies.

Your task is to regulate and develop the economy. Monitor the balance of supply and demand, provide residents with the necessary resources and maintain stable profit growth. Lords and Villeins offers you a sandbox with a complex simulation and a large selection of development strategies – from a communist economy, in which all products are collected from producers and redistributed from your warehouse, to a free market economy, in which you practically do not interfere.

Show your skills in organizing logistics. The settlement will grow, which means that when further distributing land and natural resources, you will need to take into account distances, the placement of storage facilities, private markets and residential houses in order to achieve maximum productivity from all residents.

Fine-tuning the gameplay will allow you to get the maximum enjoyment from the game! A large number of game modules and difficulty settings make it possible to focus on the aspects of the game that interest you most. Despite the fact that Lords and Villeins is primarily an economic simulator and military conflicts do not play the main role in it, many other activities will be available to you!

Features:

• Unique family management mechanics: distribute land plots among families and monitor local tax policy, production priorities and logistics.

The creators of Lords and Villeins were inspired by the history of the Middle Ages, guided by historical themes and took into account the materials and production methods available at that time. However, the game is not a historically accurate reconstruction of medieval society and economy, since in many aspects it deviates from historical reality for the sake of gameplay variety.
