You may remember that one-man studio Slavic Magic announced Medieval Strategy in 2020. lords of the manoroffering a combination of building elements complemented by a combat element, all with an emphasis on detail and realism.
At the time, the game was still supposed to be released that same year, but in the end, the author decided to put it on hold indefinitely so he could work on it properly, which of course was helped by a few things such as contributions to his Patreon, but also a grant from Epic Games, a collaboration with Nvidia, and a partnership with publisher Hooded Horse.
In any case, a year and a half has passed since this decision, when development has progressed significantly, why the author decided to introduce fans to the most significant changes through a giant article on Steam.
You can explore it in detail here as we summarize here. almost all elements/systems have undergone a significant shiftamong which there is a system of residential zones, the possibility of turning these zones into crafting workshops (in the late stages of the game), the expansion of regions (with the theoretical possibility of increasing entire maps), more freedom in moving the camera (it was a big nut), sophistication of the time tying the game to the end of the 14th century and the associated overhaul of local architecture and character models, changes to the soldier editor and recruitment, combat improvements, animations, farming, a new trading system, sound design, soundtrack, AI and micromanagement overhaul.
I actually hit the character limit on this update I just posted on Steam. Lots of information, hope you enjoy! https://t.co/bLQLToQvtO

As you can see, the author really did not “get lost” when he also announced for really serious interested parties the opportunity to get to test the game.
To get to it, you need to join the official Discord, find a bot named AlphaBot, and message it using the !alpha command. He will then ask you different questions and then you will have to wait and hope that you will be selected for testing (selection will take place irregularly).
However, we will make sure to mention that the author is primarily looking for interested people willing to help with development when they participate in various discussions about the game itself and simply offer their feedback. If you are not one of these players, you should ideally wait, as you will still be disappointed with the current state of the game.
The release date is still waiting to be announced.
