Was going to buy this but it being on PC game pass saved me some money, also bonus on Geforce Now. The realistic medieval angle is very up my alley.
They are fantastic. It's also cool that they give great and long support to all their games.
Amazing year so far for new games from small/indie devs.
None of the games I'm playing right now are made with AAA budgets, yet they are great and addictive and CHEAP!

Really glad to see this doing well, I've been following it for so long now... the game is great, the attention to detail, the animations, everything is phenomenal. Played very little, but it was enough to get a bunch of bandits set fire to my entire village... lol Ready for another go.
Got to play for around an hour and so far I'm loving it. I'm impressed by how polished the UX is despite this being an early access release. Most of the stuff is super intuitive and whatever few grievances I have are things that could be solved with like 1 popup tutorial and some small changes in the interface.
I haven't played Medieval Dynasty in a while, there's a 3rd person mode where you can walk around your town(s), but you don't do anything other than run around at this point. Other than than that, it's mostly a traditional medieval town builder w/ a touch of Total War. I don't know if there are plans to add more to the 3rd person mode, it would be neat if you could give buffs to workers and such by being near them, or help build/move stuff.
Battles are okay, it's like total war lite which is what I expected. definitely not the focus of the game, but with siege weapons, enemy cities/castles and such, it could be pretty fun.
Right? It feels so good to play already, and it runs really well, and it looks amazing, and one dude made it... how.
I chose the casual mode cause I suck at these town builders when combat/raids are a factor. It's a super immersive and relaxing experience. Soundtrack is lovely too.
I'm just scratching the surface, how do you move homeless into newly built homes (burgage plots)? First one filled up automatically but this one is remaining empty.

Really liking the game. Surprisingly polished for an EA game made mostly (fully?) by one person. Really impressive.
I'd like to know what assigning a worker to a specific building does, because I don't know if I would need to staff some areas or not sometimes. I think it's just in general having extra info displayed to help make decisions would be good.

You need to assign workers (families) to buildings for them to work. For example if you don't assign farmers to the farmers house no one will work on your fields.
Mostly one guy, yeah. The credits list some other people mostly for art and some historical consulting stuff? I imagine he worked on it almost exclusively solo until signing with Hooded Horse and then probably got some contract help to get it to EA. Still extremely impressive.
The level of detail is insane. Being able to zoom in that close and that far out is not something I've seen done so well before.
Making slow progress with my town (did the peaceful scenario first). Winter is fast approaching so we'll see how I go. The potential here is astronomical.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the mechanics but I'll learn. I used to think Stellaris was witch craft now I do just fine.
This is fun. Expanding your city feels so organic.
Only thing I really don't understand is building your military. Two years went by and I got raided hard.

I know I know, but I'd like to know what exactly happens for some buildings. For example, if I assign a worker to the storehouse, I don't know if he carries stuff to other buildings when needed (I don't think so), or if he just goes to where resources are made and collects them, or what exactly. Just a short one-line sentence that gives you an idea, and also maybe something that shows how much you'd collect with one person compared to two, etc.. if that's even possible to gauge.
For most buildings I can understand it, but for some it's harder to guess until I check on the "people" tab and see what they're doing, but that's after assigning.
Seems Storehouse will go and get the excess goods from other buildings and place them into storage. One thing I am highly confused on is making a freaking military or claiming other regions.
Though the game is very fun I hope we get more info on certain things as the updates roll out
I did not try it/reach it, but you need to level up house to level 2, then you can make them "artisants" and be a blacksmith or other "grey out" things you see for their "add-on"
It's crazy how Hooded Horse has so many great Indie Games under its... hood.

i had a great time with this last night, there's something about the elegance and refinement of the town building and the design tools that feels really good, and even though its barebones and missing features + tutorials, I didn't feel overwhelmed or directionless in the same way that i have with some other games in this genre. hard to express exactly, but it feels very "classic" whilst also looking and feeling very contemporary. comparing the fluidity and organic quality of road + building tools to the finicky and hard to read pylon or pipe building in city skylines 2 is a night and day difference for someone casually approaching these kinds of games.
the third person mode that lets you wander through your town is so great for atmosphere and a grounded sense of you building something, even if there's not much to do but walk around it right now. its a beautiful looking game.
looking forward to playing more and getting to grips with the different territories and faction stuff
i will say I had no idea how i survived the first winter when it took an embarrassingly long time to figure out there was a difference between timber and firewood, and that my big pile of logs wasn't going to be keeping anybody warm.

Started a new game after running out of food on my first go. Decided to get a farm going early on. Then a storm came after one month and destroyed my supplies.
First build on a new settlement should definitely be a warehouse/granary and assign a family to it to move all the starting stuff to it to keep it from getting rained on.
Welp seems there is a bug or bad luck hitting me hard. So you can get an extra ox/horse at the start. I thought that wpuld be smart to help with moving more goods. Well seems the game doesn't like that? Each time I will somehow lose my extra ox. No clue why.
Do you have space? Hitching post fits 1 ox, the small stale upgrade, 2. I imagine you're getting an extra ox with no post for it.
Hmm you might be right. I would normally buy a new ox then upgrade my building right after. Maybe that affects it?
Probably need to upgrade then get the new ox?
Still you lose around 20 or 30 "gold" buying an ox or horse. If you just lose it for not having the extra post is harsh.
I am running it on my 2015 era rig with dual 980TIs and have nearly every setting on high or ultra @ 1080p and get a constant 90-120fps.
Game runs very well.
I removed mine when it started growing and it kept growing. But I haven't got to the harvest yet. So in theory, no.
This is the way. Had much more success doing this first. Got from March to January and then my ox seems to have bugged out. It's just standing there in the logging camp and nothing I can do will get someone to move stuff with it. Gonna have to start again š¤£
