Experience a highly complex simulation of markets within a sophisticated feudal city-builder. Settle and govern a new land - it is your duty to exploit its riches for the benefit of the realm, your own wealth, and the villagers alike! To do this, you will zone out plots, build houses, determine taxation policies, set priorities, and grow the supply chain alongside your population.

Families are the centrepiece of Lords and Villeins. Their profession dictates their occupation in the economy and the kind of businesses they can run. Once you assign them a plot of land and build their house, they will do so almost completely autonomously, all the while managing their stock, setting aside produce to pay taxes, and trading with other families and caravans for supplies and to maximise their profit. 

Your role is to direct and regulate the economy. Balance supply and demand, secure critical resources, and maintain stable growth. Lords and Villeins gives you a sandbox with an in-depth simulation and a great variety of strategies to manage it! From a fully communist economy where all produce is taxed and redistributed, to a free market with little to no intervention.

Highly customizable gameplay lets you craft the exact kind of game that fits your taste! With a great variety of game modules and difficulty sliders, you can tweak the experience and focus on the elements of the game that you enjoy. While Lords and Villeins is primarily an economically driven game and military conflict plays only a small role, there are tons of options to explore and play with!

• Unique family-management mechanic where you assign plots of land to autonomous families and manage taxation policies, production priorities and logistics.
