What is the current state of the game?

[Thucydides]

I understand it's early access but that can cover everything from barely playable up to better than some full release games.

What state if Manor Lord currently in? Regarding things like bugs,basic gameplay mechanics and UI stuff, actual content of what to do, etc. What is the general pace of development like?

Thanks.

I can't speak to development speed as a newcomer to the game but on the current state: It looks, feels and sounds great but there's really not a lot of actual game here yet.

The core loop isn't finished, half the game elements have no informative (or flavour) text, the enemy AI is basically non existent. The skeleton of a skirmish mode is there and about 3~ hours of settlement progression to unlock. At that point you're just scaling the same things until you get bored.

for me it's around a 5 out of 10, where 10 is a finished and polished game and a 0 would be unplayable with no content.

gameplay till now is good, but not perfect,
- some problems with balancing and content ( more buildings and more stuff u can build/produce) but overall a good start for an EA game, thats a few days released in EA.

UI is perfectly fine for me, didn't notcied any buggs, just some stuff that feels a bit strange (closing some menues with ESC dosn't work --> it opens the UI for saving and so on.)

if u are familiar with city builders like this (banished and so on) u will probably get around 10-20 hours out of it for now.

There is only 1 "small" map till now with the AI beeing "oudside" of it and trying to interfere with u and the map. so u can't get rid of him (IF u play with AI, otherwise turn it of at the start)

Trade is a bit broken right know with the balancing, first it was too easy (get fast and easy money so u can to what u want) and now it's to punishing when importing and exporting (prices skyrock or dropdown to nothingif u export a bit.) but its a balancing issue, thats all.

I give it a 8/10 knowing it’s in early access n one guy made this amazing game
