Rising Lords is a medieval turn-based strategy game for Windows blending empire management, tactical combat, and card/board game elements. In the game, you start as a fledgling lord and must balance economic growth, diplomacy, military expansion, and internal stability across your provinces. Collect taxes, manage rations and field work, forge weapons, and build fortified cities to protect your realm from revolt and enemy invasions. Battles take place on grid-based maps where terrain, morale, and tactical card use influence outcomes, giving depth to every encounter.
The campaign follows the protagonist Tankred through a narrative with multiple endings determined by your choices, while robust multiplayer supports up to four players simultaneously both online and in hot-seat modes. Unique figures and event cards add complexity and replayability, and modding support via Steam Workshop lets players craft custom scenarios and maps. Although reviews are mixed, many players praise its strategic variety and multiplayer interactions.
Whether you enjoy grand strategy, tactical battles, or managing the intricate balance of medieval rulership, Rising Lords offers a layered strategy experience on Windows with both solo and social play options.
