Deal | Lowest price ever: Massive medieval strategy game with large-scale tactical battles is currently 35% off on Steam

Manor Lords entered early access in April 2024 and quickly established itself as one of the most impressive strategy games in recent years. And if you have been waiting for the right moment to try it, now is a great time, as the game has received a big discount on Steam.

At the moment, Manor Lords is available with a 35% discount, reducing its price from $39.99 to $25.99. Based on the price history, the game has dropped to this price before, but it has never gone lower, making this the lowest price it has ever reached. Manor Lords also currently has over 36,000 reviews on Steam, 87% of them positive, which is impressive for an early access title still under active development.

As for what the game offers, Manor Lords is a medieval strategy game that puts you in the role of a feudal lord managing land, people, and power. You begin with a small settlement and slowly grow it into a thriving town or city. Every decision matters, from where you place buildings to how you manage food, labor, and resources.

One of the first things you’ll notice is that there’s no grid. You place buildings freely, following roads, terrain, and trade paths. Towns grow naturally instead of feeling planned out like a spreadsheet. Houses stretch and change shape based on how much space you give them, which makes settlements feel alive.

Your villagers are also not just for the show, as families grow their own food, raise animals, and support the town in small ways that add up over time. Seasons also play a big role. For instance, spring boosts growth, while winter can be harsh if food and firewood are not stockpiled properly. 

Resource management is also a big part of the game. Raw materials must be transported and put through production chains. You also need to be careful with every decision you make. For instance, cutting too many trees leads to deforestation, poor crop rotation reduces soil fertility, and wildlife moves away if hunting is uncontrolled.

As for combat, soldiers will come from your population, so losses will hurt your economy. Battles also take place in real time and are affected by terrain, weather, fatigue, and equipment. However, you’ll always need to stay prepared, as neighboring lords will be building their own towns as well to compete with yours, and you’ll need to make sure your town is protected from threats.
