Stardock enters historical strategy genre with laid-back city builder

This is a medieval city builder created by Stardock, makers of desktop customization software. It's a big change in their lineup as the focus now will be a historical settlement, not optimizing your PC. This game is built on the developer's strengths which include building structured and long term gameplay loops in the genre.

It's a relaxing sim about managing resources and increasing territory. It's all about building structures and population control in a medieval environment. It's slow growth and smart decisions without the stress of real time combat.

This is yet another game added to the historical strategy genre with a chill pace. You're looking at a game all about finding the right balance with resources and structuring your buildings. There will be no military conquests here. Just some chill planning for those who like to think things out and not move at the speed of light.
