After a long wait and several delays, Manor Lords is finally due for release in early access later this week. It’s been greatly anticipated for a variety of reasons: Manor Lords blends city building strategy, RTS combat, and painstaking historical realism in a combination that’s both boldly innovative and approachably familiar. Developed by the one-man team of Slavic Magic – who signs his name “Greg” on the splash screen – Manor Lords is undeniably an impressive achievement.
