In an ancient, fallen kingdom where looting has taken over, you lead a family of nobles who wish to regain control. We manage our family's roles (merchant, negotiator, army general), links with other lords, arranged marriages, our people and their assignments, the army (often our peasants) and militias, and there's also macro-management as we can extend our influence. The game offers a wealth of management and strategic aspects. I'm really looking forward to it.
Developed and the debut title of Long Jaunt, while being published by Hooded Horse, the same publisher behind recent success of Manor Lords and 2023's Against the Storm, Norland is a more cartoony and humoristic colony sim. One that manages to mix rather well these aspects onto a rather wide game where we'll guide to glory our family not to mention the kingdom. With not just army management but also religious, class and of course political struggles to overcome! Try the demo if interested
With quite cute design and promising gameplay, Norland is worth of attention if you like colony simulators. While I don't know anything about developers yet, the fact that the game will be published by Hooded Horse is reassuring. In this medieval city builder we will need to expand our little kingdom and bring it to glory. What's interesting is that we play not as just one leader, but the whole noble family. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?
A medieval base building and colony sim, Norland has you ruling over a small kingdom. Nobles have intricate relationships and are responsible for the knowledge and capabilities of the kingdom. Peasants serve the nobles and are the main force when it comes to working and fighting. Make alliances and negotiate with neighboring kingdoms or, if diplomacy fails, go to war. Norland lets you define a society in different ways, from a warmongering to a peaceful one with other options in-between.
Norland is a colony sim, it is a city builder, it is an strategy game with diplomacy, it has cute graphics... it joins in one game Rimworld, Crusader Kings and Manor Lords and it works. The characters have their own stats and desires and they act on their own like on CK3 so what happens is totaly random, and you have to make diplomatic relations with the other realms, take care of your citizens, farm and build stuff, and when you realize 12 hours of your life are gone. Totally recommended
