Hearthlands v0.5.2 - Steam Early Access

Title:Hearthlands
Developer:Sergio & Simon
Genre:Indie, Simulation, Strategy, Early Access

v0.5.2:• Now you can actually win the game by conquering all the rivals. You can continue playing after you've won. • City reputation drops when your people die or leave the city. One you've reached zero - you lose. • Immigration rate has been rebalanced as well and now mainly depends on City Reputation. The higher is your reputation the more frequently immigrants will come to the city. • Industries have been rebalanced and now are easier to keep track of. Each workshop now produces 24 loads of an appropriate resource per year with the exception of mines and hunter's lodges (which produce 12 loads). Now it is quite clear how many woodcutter's lodges you need to make furniture most efficiently. • You can now surrender to an attacking rival which will make you into their vassal. As a vassal you will have to pay annual tribute of either money or resources. You can break free by attacking your liege. • If you conquer your rival, they became your vassal and also have to pay annual tribute. • It is possible to bribe invaders with coins when they come to the city. The bribe gets bigger the more you use it. • A bunch of notifications has been added, such as lack of resources, available research, low reputation etc. • Rabbits now yield wool in addition to meat. • Graphics optimizations: the game now requires about 60% less video memory. 

Hearthlands is a medieval/fantasy city-building real time strategy game in which you take a role of a king in a procedurally generated world. You can not control your subjects directly; instead you focus on city-building, resource management, diplomacy, heroes, magic and other things a
typical king deals with on a daily basis.
The game is very flexible: you can build up a powerful ream and rule the lands with an iron grip, or establish a humble fishermen's village. Or create a trading empire. Or found a small, bur well-defended outpost or raider's camp. Or become a host of a wizard's manor.
All characters, from a hauler to a hero have their own minds and behavior patterns. Sometimes it is interesting just to watch people scurry about minding their own business.
