  • Summary: Medieval Lords: Build, Defend, Expand challenges aspiring city governors to build and manage thriving cities, protect against invasions from neighbouring kingdoms, and expand into new territories - all in the city building genre's first 3D environment that lets the player zoom right into the action and build anywhere on the map.

    Medieval Lords brings city builders inside the walls of richly-detailed cities during the middle ages. Through the course of ten scenarios, players must manage finances, population, and food resources to evolve towns into thriving kingdoms. Build docks for fishing local waters, harvest fields to grow food and raise livestock, keep citizens healthy and entertained, and recruit soldiers and cavalry for a well-defended city. [Monte Cristo]

  1. An incredible game. I would say it’s a must have for every RTS fan out there. I haven’t enjoyed a game this much for quite a long time.

    A let down is the lack of control over the military units, the consistent and predictable AI especially within the vikings.
  3. Ultimately the game’s strength, at least in terms of gameplay, lies in balancing the needs of communities and creatively planning functioning medieval settlements. It may not be deep, but it feels pretty accurate.

    Build…but only where it will let you. Defend…against an enemy you can't attack. And Expand…because your absolutely idiotic villagers will bitch and moan for hours if you don't.
