Title: Voor De Kroon
Post by: Jarhead0331 on December 20, 2022, 10:09:31 AM
By the looks of it, this one is in very early access, but it could have potential. Perhaps a good mix of Total War and Bannerlord?

Not too many titles have covered the 13th Century Friso-Hollandic Wars. There is a strategy campaign with large scale battles that apparently can be fought traditionally and in 3rd person while commanding troops.

Definitely interested in this game.  Forgive me though for Windigo'ing the images.  Too poor to afford a big modern day monitor.   :)

I hope Staggerwing sees this thread...he will lose his mind.

I typically quickly jump into these things, but this time just being held back:)

- Looks like first published title for this developer (although don't know their history so maybe not huge deal)
- People saying it doesn't contain much yet, understandable for starting out
- Cost, $30....just outside of my no brainer, who cares range:)

But certainly will be monitoring since if it remotely turns out well, looks like fun to be had.....

There are a couple of other empire building games floating around on Steam that also appear to be one-offs from unknown developers that just seem to be languishing in early access forever. I am hoping this is not that.

Looks great, thanks for sharing! Reminds me a bit of Manor Lords.

Sitting openly and proudly on the fence. Somebody tell me if it's great or not because these wooden rails are starting to hurt my ass.  :-\

That does look interesting. I was actually born in Friesland, in the city of Leeuwarden. Not in the Thirteenth Century though...

Seems an odd thing to have to point out for clarity. 

I mean, I'm not going to accuse Staggerwing of being a vampire but.....I think he might be a vampire.

We prefer the term 'Daylight challenged Sanguophage'...

I bet if Stagger was a vampire, he'd make the meanest damned Bloody Mary you ever had.  :bd:
