Going Medieval

Going Medieval is a settlement-building game set in a realistic world after civilization has been devastated by plague. You guide three lost travellers as they settle in wilderness reclaimed by nature, build a home and defend their growing community from bandits and beasts.

Build your settlement

Use 3D terrain tools to shape a stronghold, from sprawling, multi-storey forts to winding underground caverns. Construct, furnish and decorate chambers, workshops, chapels, libraries and other buildings with gathered stone, clay and other materials. A small settlement can grow into a thriving walled city.

Lead your settlers

Each settler has a distinct character, with skills, personality, preferences, religion and needs to consider. Grimbold, for example, is a Swineherd with strong Animal Handling, a Savage personality suited to brawling, a preference for nice clothes and a strong attachment to his religion. Meeting settlers’ needs and making use of their talents helps keep them happy, which is important to the settlement.

Defend and develop

Prepare impenetrable defenses and traps against waves of raiders. Research and craft medieval technology, arm your settlers and command them in battle. You can shape your strategy around each villager’s skills and improve those skills through hunting and combat.

Shape the terrain

Explore a randomly generated, multi-level map and alter it to suit construction, design or military strategy. Terraform earth and water, build upward or dig underground, and choose between humble or baronial designs. Modding tools offer further creative options.
