Some parts are kinda half-baked, but at its core the game is simple fun, and it looks good. I had fun playing through the campaign story, which was interesting enough. With a little more polish, it could be a great game.

This game is a spiritual remake of a classic strategy 4x game known as Lords of The Realm. Specifically Lords of the Realm 2. This game has more cattle types, more complex system for making soldiers, and reintroduced a small level of castle design that had been cut from lotr 1. There are no siege engines but there are more cavalry types. Combat uses a turn based initiative based "I go you go" type of combat. it also uses skill cards which represent the skill of your individual general to setup things like traps and build ladders. XP for units is also introduced which is generated from victory as well as passively if you build troops and do nothing with them. this gives you an incentive to build armies early even if you don't yet need to use them. Diplomacy is about as bare bones as in lotr 2. Techincally a bit more complex as you now have a more varied array of deals you can cut. Troop movement is also very streamlined, in a way I REALLY like. units are either in a county or in a boarder, so you can move from boarder to boarder or boarder to county etc. This speeds the game up and makes larger maps more manigable as well as removing some of the movement exploits that lotr 2 had. One of the cooler aspects is the battle map you play on is the same as the county map. so as you expand your town/castle it has direct effect on the battle map you might be fighting on to protect it. Which is fun and explains the abstraction of movement. Overall I'd say if you like Lords of the Realm 2 you will like this game. The campaign is under baked, you have to save scum as there's no inherent auto saving, and it has a lot of false choices and scripted events as well as combats which are more puzzels than strategy games. But if you are getting a game like this you are getting it for the custom games which are quite good. Honestly a dream come true for and avid Lords of the Realm fan.

This recommendation is very strong Neutral . The game is so so. The graphics are good ( the art style is compeling for a medieval setting ) and probably what prompts players to look at the steam reviews. The gameplay resembles somewhat lords of the realms ( albeit battles are turn based ). The campaign story is light and predictable. So why neutral review ? This game is riddled with bugs. Every so often armies don't react to commands and you have to reload the game. There is some corruption of assetes on the main map ( some landmarks jus dissapear during winter season ), but the worst offender is poor performance in battles ( playing in windowed mode helps a bit ) and the fact that for no reason , some battles will be fough by AI without any prompt ( the last battle of campaign for my playthrough ). Haven't tried skirmish or multiplayer.

It's sort of okay, but not great. There are numerous spelling and grammatical errors that could have trivially been addressed by any developer worth his salt. So I really wonder if I'm wasting my time trying to see if there's anything worthwhile in here. The humor in the artwork and the music are pluses and the cards used in battle are nice, but after reading other negative reviews I'm wondering if I made a mistake buying this in early access. The jury is out though, so I'll have to write more if I try to play a full game. I've had this for years while it was in EA and it was too hard to play back then, mostly because the tutorial was missing. So I can at least say the game has improved a lot by the time it was released. What I really like: The economic mechanics (i.e. allocating workers and moving around resources to build up armies) feel a little more detail-oriented than other TBS games. It scratches a certain micromanaging itch that I enjoy, and that I haven't seen (or if I've seen it in other games, I just haven't noticed). It requires a lot of fine-tuning, and forward thinking and tinkering to get it right. "Buy more beer" can make or break a kingdom.
