What is Anvil Saga?
Anvil Saga is a management game with RPG elements set during the Hundred Years' War.

Manage orders, tools, workshops, and decorations while dealing with bandits, merchants, priests, and French and English soldiers. Employees have different skills, salaries, needs, and personalities.
