Medieval Dynasty

Came to this game thinking I’d build a small shack and live out my peasant dreams in peace. Next thing I know, I’ve got a wife, two kids, three debt collectors, and a villager named Bogdan who won’t stop talking about cabbage.
Built my first house backwards. Hunted a deer with a stick. Got mauled by a boar while trying to pick berries. Froze to death in spring because I forgot clothes were a thing. Truly immersive.
Somehow convinced a random woman to marry me after gifting her a locket I stole from the tax collector. Romance is alive in the medieval age.
Now I’m a lord of a tiny village where half the people do nothing, and the other half pretend to do something. I spend 80% of my time micromanaging their lazy butts and the other 20% wondering why everyone suddenly hates me because I didn’t build a tavern fast enough.
But listen... when you finally finish your first house, see your villagers eating soup by the fire, and hear the wolves circling just outside the range of your torch... you know you're home.
Buy it. Play it. Become the potato king!

Game is fun but I only have one thing to say.....MOD SUPPORT. please
Allow people to breathe more life into your game with their own creative ideas.

Great game, truly addictive. After 100+ hours you still feel as though there is a plethora of things to do and learn (both in-game character and yourself).
Looking forward to the addition of a future bandit revamp. As it stands, there are bandit camps; you have a massive arsenal of weaponry with which to deal with them, ranging from swords and shields to throwing rocks and crossbows. Armours to protect yourself. Yet currently they are quite obsolete as any gamer worth their salt can tackle a huge camp with just a bow and stone arrows (or kite bandits with just a stone axe).
My biggest gripe with the game is the memes/pop-culture references.
Absolutely hilarious for the first 5 minutes, but then becomes extremely tiresome and you find yourself rolling your eyes and feeling a little dizzy, every time you approach a villager, from the constant 360's your eyes are doing.
A lot of people talk about how the game should be played as an immersive sim, yet these in-game memes do their best to pull you out of that immersion; with the developers pointing a finger at their own game while exclaiming "HAHA look at that reference, do you get it? DO YOU GET IT!?"

I'm just scratching the surface, here. Trust me there are many many more and you will hear them over and over again. Very rarely do villagers talk about normal things, like the Weather or crops or any other day-to-day activities. EVERYTHING is a meme or a pop-culture reference or a tongue-in-cheek jab at the game's development or even Steam itself "I don't care if you bought it within 2 hours. No refunds!"
To repeat myself. It's funny at first, but gets tiring very quickly; especially after playing 100+ hours.
I feel as though the development team hired that guy from the Key and Peele sketch, where they are brainstorming ideas for Gremlins 2, "you want 20 Witcher references in our game!? Your crazy and I love it, it's in!"
I'm fun at parties and I recommend this game

Erecting a Dynasty is Hard Work
Came for the survival, stayed for the procreation.
For the first 20 hours, I was just a lonely guy beating my wood in the forest Then the game told me the main quest was to find a wife and produce an heir.
Suddenly the real grind began. Turns out you can't just walk up to a medieval 10/10 and show her your massive.. pile of logs. You have to sweet talk her and pretend you don't smell like a fermented bog monster.
Finally got her back to my one room shack The game's objective popped up Ensure the continuation of your dynasty.
Let's just say my dynasty was thoroughly ensured that night.
10/10. The ultimate build a house to get laid simulator.

Great graphics. If you love to build things this is your game. Cutting trees down, mining, hunting, building a home getting a wife. You watch as your village fills with people and buildings that you build. You find and pick the citizens of your village assigning jobs in farming, hunting and fishing. Sewing, workshop, and smithy.

I haven't played any of the latest updates, but this game is really, really good. The concept of having a child and continuing your legacy is genius. The only thing I wish is that you could build your own houses instead of relying on pre-made ones you plop down. Other than that, it's a great game!

Some people might dislike the grind of this game. Me, I like it. I like the slower pace. I like to take my time, stop and check out the sunset. Just the kind of gamer I am. Medieval Dynasty is kind of like ... Skyrim, but you're a Peasant Nobody.

There can be something of a learning curve starting out, particularly when it comes to villager management. That's the hardest, most confusing part of the game and I do wish it was handled a little more smoothly in a few areas and in others I'm perfectly content with the way it currently exists.

Watch some videos. If you're not going to have any villagers at all through your first year, you're doing it wrong. If you set things up properly, they will (yes, really) practically take care of themselves and you won't have to hardly lift a finger to help them.

Me? I do the following: 3 houses, one for me, two for villagers. Put up a Hunters Shack, a Woodshed, a Well and a Kitchen. Get yourself four villagers-- two men, two women, they will share the houses and if you get them close enough in age sharing the same house they'll marry and start having kids (you may or may not want this). Put those four in their jobs: one hunter, one lumberjack, one cook, one water carrier.

The only thing you're going to have to do is make sure they have enough buckets and bowls.

Also, plant crops as soon as you can. Don't wait on that: if you sleep on farming you are in for a rough first year. You'll have a hard time getting fertilizer to start, but once you've got pigs and eventually someone working in the pig pen, you will be drowning in the stuff.

Take ten to fifteen minutes to set your villagers production schedule up and you're set. Make sure you keep them in firewood; you'll probably have to do some logging yourself to start, and for goodness sake go into their needs menu and disable burning logs, sticks and planks. It won't matter in late game, but it absolutely will in early game. And don't feel too let down about running around and doing those chores early on-- you're gaining experience, and as you do so you're unlocking other buildings that will make your life easier. Go with the flow.

Oh, and go into your settings in the menu and change the season lengths. Me? I play on a 30 day season, but I like the slower pace that sets. Fifteen or twelve seems to be what a lot of folks like. Play around with it.

Anyway, I like the game. It's good stuff and I'm looking forward to more. Your mileage may vary, but I can promise you if you're the Go Go Go, Get Get Get, Quest Quest Quest, Next Next Next, Level Get Good Win Now type of gamer, you're probably going to hate this.
