Lords and Villeins – is a detailed feudal city-builder that challenges you to manage a sophisticated market economy in a dynamically simulated medieval world. In the game, you are entrusted by the royals to settle and govern a new land, where every decision—from zoning plots and setting taxation policies to optimizing logistics and production chains—directly influences the prosperity of your settlement.

At the heart of the gameplay are autonomous families whose skills and professions drive the economic engine of your realm. Once assigned a plot and given a home, these families manage everything from stockpiling goods for taxes to engaging in trade with neighboring settlements and caravans. This hands-off, yet deeply strategic, approach to family management creates an engaging sandbox experience where balancing supply and demand is key.

Beyond the intricacies of resource management, Lords and Villeins offers a high level of customization. Players can adjust difficulty settings and game modules to tailor the experience, whether by enforcing a strict, fully taxed economy or by allowing a more free-market approach with minimal intervention. The game also features a campaign mode with 15 distinct levels that gradually introduce its myriad mechanics, as well as encounters with noble houses and the option to build unique structures like sprawling monasteries.

Inspired by medieval themes yet aiming for a fun and varied gameplay experience rather than strict historical accuracy, Lords and Villeins provides a rich and multilayered simulation that tests your strategic management, logistical planning, and overall ability to balance the complex interplay between economic policies and the daily lives of your villagers.
