Manor Lords is a medieval city-building and real-time tactics game developed by solo developer Greg Styczeń under the studio name Slavic Magic and published by Hooded Horse — a passion project years in the making that became the most-wishlisted game in Steam history before its Early Access launch, surpassing 3 million wishlists. Inspired by the late 14th-century Franconian region of Germany, the game aims for historical grounding in its village planning, supply chains, seasonal rhythms and military organisation rather than a stylised or fantastical take on the medieval period.

Key Features: • Organic city-building — gridless burgage plot layout inspired by late 14th-century Franconian towns • Dynamic seasons + weather — agriculture, supply chains and warfare all respond to seasonal rhythms • Real-time tactical battles — command armies with formations, flanking and terrain considerations • 5 game modes — from combat-free Rise to Prosperity to the contested multi-lord Fractured Realm
