Manor Lords

Pros

• I’m planning to try Manor Lords next
• Manor Lords looks absolutely amazing
• Looks like there are around 156 titles with "RTS" and "4X" *anywhere in their top 25 tags*. Here are the most popular ones: Manor Lords
• It's quite fun, my only complaint when I played last patch was that the growth process seemed very formulaic and if you stayed from that formula you were dooming your city 10 hours of gameplay in the future.
• There is some level of limited AOE-level combat but I've mainly focused on the city building aspects of the game and in that respect it's a heap of fun. The game runs flawlessly on my PC and each major update has added features that I've...

Cons

• Kind of like if Manor Lords and Tiny Glade had a baby, lol.
• He can "chill" while his review score and player base continues to dip then.
• It sounds like a mix of manor lords and mount and blade.
• Gamepass is literally the only reason I tried this. Funny, I said the exact same thing about Cities: Skylines 2. Definitely a playable state game, but without castles I can't really see myself getting into it.
• Wait until it's done. I'm disappointed and disillusioned this will be complete and fully released for many, many years. Pace is glacial.
