Manor Lords next update will switch over to Unreal Engine 5 and, more importantly, add fishing ponds

I’m calling it now. When, in a “few weeks” according to the developer, fishing ponds come to strategy builder Manor Lords, it will take approximately 45 minutes for some enterprising medieval fintech tinkerer to utterly bork the entire economy, and it will be glorious.

Manor Lords is on Sale!

[h2]Manor Lords is 25% off today until August 6th! [/h2]
Manor Lords combines deep city-building, strategic battles, and intricate economic simulations in a medieval setting. As a lord, you'll manage the growth of your village into a flourishing city, handle resources, and expand your territory through strategic conquests. Inspired by late 14th-century Franconian architecture and art, the game strives for historical accuracy, enhancing both gameplay mechanics and visuals.

Manor Lords publisher doubles down on protecting devs as CEO says 'developer sustainability' is more important than 'any perpetual growth'

Earlier in the week, Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender got into a debate with Hinterland CEO Raphael van Lierop, who called Manor Lords a "pretty interesting case study in the pitfalls of early access." While that argument has since been settled, Bender has continued to stress both his and Hooded Horse's support for the devs on their roster...
