Our take on Lords of Solgrund
The bounce point is the settlement economy: house upgrades raise income and hygiene but also add demands for furniture, clothing, decorations, and other luxuries. Players focused mainly on combat may hit a wall when food, housing, and household needs require ongoing management.
What is Lords of Solgrund?
Lords of Solgrund combines real-time strategy and city building with fantasy elements inspired by the early Middle Ages.
Players select a faction before starting, with different advantages and disadvantages affecting research, market prices, and soldier strength. During play, a chosen school of magic determines the spells available in the spell book. Economic management includes food, housing, income, hygiene, furniture, clothing, decorations, and other household needs. Homes can be improved to raise income and hygiene, but upgraded buildings require additional goods and luxuries. An in-game editor allows custom maps, campaigns, and mini scenarios to be created and shared. Community members can also contribute translations for the game, maps, and campaigns.
