There are some advantages to being a medieval peasant. Twitter hasn't been invented yet, for instance, so your exposure to the worst opinions in the world is pretty limited. But there are, on balance, a lot more downsides. Healthcare is a tad iffy. You haven't got any central heating. Back-breaking labour is the norm. And, if you live in my Manor Lords village, you're probably getting really bored of eating eggs and stepping over corpses.
Manor Lords is a medieval city builder that I've been looking forward to for a while, and now it's finally out; at least in early access. So I've put on a fancy cloak and started to guide my people to prosperity. There have been some bumps in the road.
