I don't recall that happening in Medieval Dynasty. But I also played on console, so maybe it was hidden out of view.

To op, you can watch a video of someone playing the demo on youtube. And I believe Medieval Dynasty is still on gamepass if you have an Xbox. The early game seems similar to MD. Visually it looks better than MD in my opinion. Movement for the player character also looks better. But yea, based on the video I saw it seems all around better. But I believe MD, obviously, has more content and is a completed game. They both seem to do pretty much the same thing from what little I saw. So just a matter of which one appeals to you more. And whether this game being in EA matters to you.

Lets see ...
Villagers act like they are alive
NPC's actually move
You don't have soulless kids staring at you
The graphics are a ♥♥♥♥ ton better
The mechanics for combat and building actually seem far less clunky
etc etc etc

and it had a pretty successful demo.

You left out the best part about this game, there is "No Aging System" in this game.

I don't want my character in any game I play to have a permanent death or a Expiration date timer that leads to permanent death.

That's a matter of opinion though, and not a guaranteed negative. This is a core aspect of Medieval Dynasty, they're not trying to hide it. It's literally one of the main points for choosing to play it. Though I'm not sure there's enough to do in the game to make going through a second generation worth it. I also don't think it had, at least when I played, customization that would make me even care for my people.

MD becomes VERY boring. This game will be abandonded probably because of their history. Just buy MD. You're welcome.

Says q1 but has snail EVER hit a single road map date?

MD u can build. gets boring. No real fighting other then bears wolves and a rare bandit.
This game you can make a army and the bandits are not push overs.

I saw a demo play on utub and though it was just the demo I thought building mechanics and the character movements were much more polished than Medieval Dynasty.

When you build something, you don't just swing a hammer a few times and a wall appears. You actually build the wall so it takes a little longer but looks much more authentic. If the devs keep improving it, this game will be a lot of fun to play.

Fingers crossed.

Bellwright is more a strategic game than MD. MD is for players who likes build and decorating a village in a peaceful valley. Like Stardew Valley.

Medieval Dynasty focuses on the building of a village up to city level. Gathering resources to manage the town. Interacting with other settlements to build dynasty points which is just a way of allowing you to increase your town size by getting more people to move in, to do more crap. You seldom come across a bandit and when you do, they mostly just let you beat them to death and they die standing up. The wild life is a little challenging.

Things I wished MD would integrate is a way to become some type of monarch once your village became a certain level.

While you can build palisade walls, they are mainly for show. I wish there was some element of danger so that they would be needed like occasional bandit raids or maybe even wild life killing villagers. You can build weapons, but they are just for you and you barely use them.

You cannot invade other settlements or territories either. It is kind of weird because, when you first start the game, the monarch you talk to in the custom game (Oxbow) even says he needs you to build up a village to help add security and support for the main village. As if to hint at something in the future where you might have raids. But as of now, it is just a village building, resource managing, people managing, exploration, with minimal questing game.

I never got to play Bellwright. I saw the demo and it was up for like -30 seconds. Didn't even get a chance to download it or play it. I watched videos online of others playing it and it seems like the game I wish MD was, but cannot say for sure until it is released.

You can dream about it - Last Oasis was also great at start.

So i would say - Medieval Dynasty - you will get finished game, and quite fun. Free updates with new buildings, multiplayer, etc.

From this i expect good visuals, good first hour of play and then nothing to do, later 'changes in direction' making game unplayable/unfun. As developer history provides with all of their games.

Fingers crossed.

The building in the demo for this game has essentially zero animation for me, it's just clicking on floating dots that say "add resource"

I put 30~ min into this EA and I can't say I'll continue unless they have MASSIVE patches on the way very soon unfortunately :(

So you rather like MD? You click on the wall and startes getting greener and the wall just POP? This at least you see the branches being placed.
