Our take on Lord Mayor
Each level is built from scratch under limited time and resource conditions, turning city planning into a placement puzzle. Terrain, trade, building yields, and changing victory requirements determine how each new city must be arranged.
What is Lord Mayor?
Lord Mayor is a real-time strategy game that combines city building with puzzle-like placement.
Each level begins with a new city, terrain layout, and victory conditions. Limited time and resources require careful positioning of buildings to improve their yields and develop the qualities used to judge the city. Players also manage imports and exports while pursuing each level’s goals. The game includes procedurally generated levels, varied building types, and multiple terrain types. Completing cities advances the player through ranks toward the title of Lord Mayor. A Victorian-era interface gives the game its period presentation, while the soundtrack contains Classical works released under Creative Commons.
