Manor Lords offers freedom in the building process, allowing for strategic placement and rotation of structures influenced by actual medieval town development. The game encourages planning around a central marketplace and managing various districts, farms, hunting grounds, as well as ensuring access to resources. Homeowners contribute to the economy by growing their own food and keeping livestock. The game presents a challenge that requires balancing expansion with resource management and trade.
