Norland is a colony sim set in the Middle Ages where you must conquer territories while securing the future of your noble family. But danger lurks everywhere, and you’ll need to meet the needs of your villagers while avoiding betrayal.

During the Middle Ages, wars were frequent, and betrayal was common. In Norland, a medieval colony sim developed by Long Jaunt and published by Hooded Horse, you embody a lord who wants to extend his kingdom and ensure his family’s survival.

But the world around you is at war, and many kingdoms are fighting for power and influence. These conflicts have devastating consequences, causing famine and social unrest. To reach glory, you must be a good leader and respond to the needs of your villagers. Manage their food and money so they can help you extend your territory.

Your family also plays an important role. Indeed, each person has strengths and weaknesses, as well as personality traits, and you’ll need to use them to lead armies, make important decisions, and defeat various enemies. However, some members of your family will betray you, and you’ll need to stay vigilant.

As for combat, your armies are composed of knights and peasants. This means that every battle can have significant consequences. Also, keep in mind that all your equipment must be manufactured or imported. Finally, a new world is generated when you start a new game, allowing you to vary your gameplay and objectives.
