Time For Ale! | Norland - Part 4 (Crusader Kings Meets Rimworld - Early Access)
186Norland continues and CupboardVale finally brews it's first batch of good old ale! We get quite a good harvest of hops and rye from our fields so we're able to produce quite a bit of delicious ale, which seems to improve things a little because people prefer the ale to the somewhat awful moonshine.
In fact we're able to make so much ale that Jeff tries to set up a trade route with one of our neighbours! It's a little expensive at first to set up but they seem keen, until... well, I won't spoil it for you.
We try to educate Voinoslav a little bit, given that one day he might well be the King, and he does seem to pick up a few skill points here and there.
Also we're visited by a Bishop, Betty goes to battle some bandits and the Church make an unfortunate prediction about our realm...
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

----------------------------
The Empire has fallen, leaving in its place multiple successor kingdoms. The lords and ladies of these petty kingdoms squabble for control and influence – whether with cloak and dagger or sword and shield, families feud amongst themselves and against each other as greater threats cast a shadow across the land. Famines wreak havoc on the lives of the peasantry, warfare and disunity threaten the social order, noble families fall to decadence and hedonism, and beyond the borders of the old Empire, great armies of pillage and destruction form under the banners of invader-kings.
In these uncertain times, you must lead your small kingdom to greatness – and the members of your noble family to survival – in this medieval colony sim focussed on generating stories of great valor and vile treachery.
The common folk of Norland are the backbone of any kingdom, serving their noble lords on the battlefield and around the city with deference and loyalty… until their bellies become empty or the beer runs dry. With different backgrounds, needs, and thoughts of their own, the peasants are difficult to please and easily manipulated into rebellion, crime, and controversy – will you address their complaints as a benevolent lord or answer them with the executioner’s ax?
Norland is set in a rich world with a vibrant past – its inhabitants form a tapestry of different cultural backgrounds with checkered relations, and the power vacuum left in the wake of the Empire’s collapse has given rise to uncertain times. In the distance, an Unholy Horde grows ever stronger, pillaging and burning all in its path, while elsewhere the Church of Saint Sophia uses faith to maintain an iron grip on vast resources.
Through a multitude of scenarios to choose from and a plethora of options that define your nobles and the world around you, Norland allows you to build a society and tell a unique story of any kind – warmongers with penal legions fighting for their freedom, highly educated religious zealots trying to spread the faith, wealthy multicultural idealists hoarding tomes of knowledge, treacherous spymasters plotting assassination and intrigue… what tale will you tell?
