Manor Lords is an indie city-building and RTS game developed by a single developer, Greg Styczeń from Slavic Magic, and published by Hooded Horse that gained hype due to its impressive visuals and unique features. Despite being an older game, it is one I think ever RTS lover should check out.

The game has detailed unit behavior you won't see in many other games like fatigue and morale. It also offers customizable gear with unique stats, which ties into the city-building aspect. It also features impressive combat animations and finishing moves for its age, and the developer says he added these to provide a deeper battle experience compared to other RTS games.

Some of the interesting ideas in this area include intuitive battle commands like "tactical retreat" and customized archer firing options.

Manor Lords is compared favorably to the Total War franchise and could potentially serve as an alternative for those still hoping for Total War: Medieval 3 (Reports say the game will never come out, but you never know with game developers).

Here more about the game and what’s so good about it:

Here's a trailer if you are curious what it looks like:
