The dev also has other features planned for future updates. ]]>Manor Lords’ single dev has a lot planned for the game, with one highly requested feature set to make its way into the city-builder soon—fishing ponds. This will provide players with extra value in their villages early on, as well as help ensure their villagers don’t croak come winter.
The upcoming addition of fishing ponds was confirmed yesterday by Greg Styczeń, the mastermind behind Steam’s most-wishlisted game, on X (formerly Twitter). He said he’s currently “working on fishing ponds for the next update” since the feature was “requested a lot.” He didn’t provide a lot of details on how fishing ponds or fishing itself will be implemented but included a beautiful and serene picture of a work-in-progress pond. Styczeń also responded to players’ questions on Twitter/X, both regarding the feature and off-topic inquiries.

If Manor Lords keeps crashing for you, the problem is likely on your end. ]]>Some Manor Lords players have been dealing with crashes since the game’s meteoric launch this past weekend. But the game’s sole developer (and apparent social media manager) Greg Styczeń recently cleared up any misconceptions about certain players’ problems.
In one post on Twitter/X, a player referred to the game by saying “more like Crash-o-Lord,” which prompted a response from Styczeń today, explaining why crashes were common for some subsets of players as opposed to others.

A prosperous manor.]]>Medieval RTS Manor Lords has been one of the most highly anticipated titles on Steam in recent months. Following the game’s launch, the publisher has now confirmed that it is seeing a lot of success, crossing the seven-digit mark by April 28.
On its X account, publisher Hooded Horse announced that Manor Lords has already sold over a million copies. This is especially impressive because the only game launched on Friday, April 26, just a day before this announcement. According to the post, Manor Lords has also achieved a peak concurrent record of over 170,082, with 155,101 players playing the title at the time of writing. The post also claims that this is the highest-ever concurrent player peak “for a city builder (or for other different genres like GSG/4x/colony sim).”

The publisher thinks players shouldn't feel any pressure to buy the game.]]>Manor Lords, Steam’s most wish-listed game until its launch on April 26, has already crossed a major player milestone after just one day in the store, but publisher Hooded Horse has advised players there’s no rush to purchase the game if money is tight and has promised frequent discounts.
Hooded Horse chief executive Tim Bender thanked everyone who supported the game through its long period of alpha testing in a Steam post celebrating the game’s Early Access launch. He claimed that Manor Lords began as a single-dev project and slowly grew to 3.2 million Steam wishlists, saying that players shouldn’t “feel any pressure to buy the game if waiting is better for them,” and to hold off “if money is tight.” He added that Hooded Horse will run frequent 25 percent discounts for Manor Lords “often and give you plenty of opportunities to get the game later as well.”
]]>Are you ready to build a kingdom?]]>If you ever wanted to immerse yourself into being a medieval lord, you can now do so in Manor Lords—a medieval strategy game focused on city building and tactical battles, developed by Slavic Magic and published by Hooded Horse.
On April 26, Manor Lords was released into early access on Steam and Game Pass. The early access period is planned to last for around a year and the full release is planned to have more content based on player feedback, making this a great time to jump in, try it out, and share your thoughts.
]]>Only a few days left to wait.]]>Manor Lords‘ price has been a mystery for quite some time, but the game’s publisher, Hooded Horse, shared information that should reassure fans worried about their wallets.
In a Reddit thread on April 23, the CEO of Hooded Horse, Tim, revealed why Manor Lords‘ prices aren’t public, and it has to do with regional pricing. Tim said Manor Lords has regional prices, just like all the other games on Steam, and declaring the price in advance can lead to misunderstandings. “People will be concluding the game is unaffordable in their region when at launch they will have pricing that will work for them,” he said.
