So, in the recent days I have been completely hooked on Manor Lords. It’s like watching a masterpiece come to life as your city expands, the economy flourishes, and the battles unfold. The satisfaction of seeing your carefully curated army in action is unbeatable.
But here’s the thing – I can’t help but daydream about a fantasy version of Manor Lords. Picture this: different races with unique abilities, magical elements, and the complexities of dealing with racial tensions and immigration. It’s like Manor Lords, but with a magical twist!
I’ve searched for similar games, but nothing quite matches the perfect balance of complexity and visual appeal that Manor Lords offers. I wish there was a game that combined the strategic depth of Manor Lords with the whimsical charm of a fantasy world.
Can you imagine the possibilities? Building a bustling city with elven architecture, recruiting orc warriors, and casting powerful spells to defend your lands. It’s a dream game waiting to happen!
What do you think? Would you play a fantasy version of Manor Lords? Let’s imagine the possibilities together! 🏰✨ #DreamGame #FantasySpin #ManorLordsFantasySpin.
I recommend Farthest Frontier and Against the Storm if you like Manor Lords.
>A game like Manor lords, but with a fantasy spin.
A game like it, where you get to pick like… different races (with different bonuses and negatives, different building styles, preferences for environment, and so on)
With magical elements added to it, as well as having to deal with potentially racial imbalances, immigrants from other races and the conflicts that come from there and so on.
So… Manor Lords in a Heroes of Might and Magic setting?
If it’s the top down battles you like, give total war: warhammer series a look. No better way to watch an army of orks fighting dwarfs. Or pirate vampires fight dinosaurs. Or renaissance era humans fight demons. Or (etc etc).
The city building aspect is much smaller in scope, and the effect of “cultures meeting” is reduced to a +ve or -ve number on your screen which might cause a rebellion to appear
Songs of Syx is a fantasy city builder. grid building with several unique fantasy races. Lots of unique interactions. almost like an ant farm is some ways though.
I was thinking the same thing, so I have been playing Stronghold (1993, not the game that stole the name 6 years later).
I’ve been wanting it updated for at least 20 years. Don Daglow made good games.
I think Northgard might be worth checking out?
Maybe Timberborn or Fabledom (still in EA) has some fantasy city building?
I really like the fantasy approach, it’s true that it would add something.
But I admit that with more fantasy I would probably expect more combat mechanics, a bit like Total War. Currently I like the combat format but leaves me a little frustrated.
Distant Kingdoms had a chance to be close to this, but that project got killed in early access…
Well, it’s built on UE4, which is a pretty moddable engine at this point and considering how beloved the game is, I can imagine there’s going to be quite the modding scene around it. Would’t be surprised to see the classic ASOIAF and LOTR mods at some point, as is custom with medieval games.
I was watching Shogun and thought it would be amazing to have Manor Lords in the feudal japan setting.
You know… That sounds great. Probably have to wait a while though, because that game doesn’t currently exist. Once Manor Lords is in a release version it’d likely be fairly easy to mod to do exactly what you’re thinking. Replace visual assets, tweak a few numbers, and you’re most of the way there.
Songs of syx is a good game, but you’re right in that it feels different. You’re really looking for Banished like games. Ostriv comes to mind. None of the banished like games have a fantasy bend to them, which is actually surprising. There might be a market for it XD
E the)
Manor Lords is a knock off of the indie game Foundation.
Check out mount and blade if you want to build an army and go to war with it. The older version warband has a ton of mods that add fantasy elements that are very fleshed out
I havent played Manor Lords yet, been wanting to let it cook first. However, to meet the need I have been really enjoying Going Medieval that has some similar concepts.
Man, I’d recommend trying Age of Wonders 4, because it ticks most of those fantasy boxes, but it’s a 4x.
Frostpunk might be up your alley. Kind of a steam punk version of what you seek.
It kept me hooked for a good 40 hours, and the 2nd one is coming out soon.
