Take control of the game with real RTS elements, and with a click of a button switch to a first person perspective and command your hero unit to help gather resources, build, and fight and level up on the battlefield.

Knights and Lords blends the best elements of city management, RTS gameplay, and RPG character development into one amazing time. Featuring over 80 different building types that keep peasants happy, fed, and needs provided. 60 different unit types from 8 unique factions with many different weapons and armament from all over the medieval world. From the southern factions to the northern kingdom take control of different factions over vast beautiful RTS maps.

A World of Vast Biomes and Dynamic Environments

The game spans a wide array of biomes, from the frigid and barren northern tundras to the scorching deserts of the south. With over 24 maps to choose from coming from all of these different biomes. You will have a lot of options to enhance quick play and fun RTS games against AI or human factions. All of these maps are included in the large campaign map which features a lite 4X experience. In that mode you will command armies, and improve regions, but can zoom in and load into an RTS game where the outcome of a contested region or what you do on that RTS battle affects the campaign.

 Each region presents unique environmental challenges and opportunities. Northern lands are harsh and demand resilience, while tropical islands offer fertile ground but invite danger from storms and disease. The dynamic weather system brings rain, sandstorms, and snow, while natural disasters like wildfires and earthquakes can test your kingdom’s stability. Animals native to each biome add life to the world and provide both resources and challenges, as they can be hunted for food—or become a threat to your villagers.

City Building Meets Strategic Gameplay

Knights and Lords features some of the city management systems you see in other mainline titles. Citizens will become unhappy if needs are not met. They will refuse to work or even group together in an full on rebellion if they feel unheard, hungry, tired of war, or not taken care of properly. You must build buildings that keep citizens happy, lower taxes, keep different type of food well stocked in the granaries, and enact policies and laws that benefit the civilian population.
