Feudal Craft

Feudal Craft is about establishing and managing a settlement as a petty feudal lord in a dangerous medieval setting. You begin with a single building, a few peasants and land rights; there are no grand wars or battles for kingdoms and empires. Your main task is to survive.

Build your settlement

You develop the settlement’s economy by balancing food, gold and your army. Economic prosperity alone leaves you vulnerable to looting and death. You can gradually buy farm animals or risk hunting a bear for its pelt, with each choice carrying its own chance of success.

Equip your people

Making reliable equipment takes substantial resources, time and skill. Blacksmithing is historically challenging, so producing decent gear requires careful investment.

Talents and diplomacy

Each peasant can improve their skills and has a natural talent in one craft. Identifying those talents can help your settlement dominate different fields. You also need to avoid angering the king, cooperate with other feudal lords and trade; even temporary lawlessness can cost you your life.
