Uninvited Guests | Norland - Part 3 (Crusader Kings Meets Rimworld - Early Access)
209Norland continues and we have to deal with a few uninvited guests turning up in CupboardVale. OK the guests are Kings but they just show up, two at a time, and expect to be entertained!
Fortunately we have King Bernard to turn on the charm and do some nice chit chat, plus we also can call upon Jeff's new wife Safa to help because she's also quite charismatic! Initially it seems out guests are having a nice time; they explore CupboardVale, play some games of dice and even have a little lute session in the hall!
Unfortunately our two guests also seem to clash with each other and tempers flare a little, with one guests leaving in a state of depression. Oh dear.
We struggle to get people to join our alliance but everyone seems very keen for us to join theirs! We of course decline but do need to improve our military, so we build a training ground and attempt to improve the economy so we can buy more weapons for our soldiers.
Also there's a slightly sinister altar, the Unholy Horde emerges and is that the pitter-patter of tiny feet I can hear?
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?
