County of Fortune launches in Steam early access
The medieval grid builder lets players place whole settlements across a county, each run by a named mayor.
County of Fortune has launched in early access on Steam, according to Rock Paper Shotgun. The medieval builder has players place whole settlements across a county laid out on a grid rather than plotting individual buildings.
Each settlement grows over time, specializes in a particular role and connects with nearby towns as the county matures. Named mayors run each settlement, giving individual towns their own figurehead within the wider map.
Settlement layouts are partially procedurally generated as they are built up, so towns take shape as players expand them rather than arriving in a fixed form.
Rival noble houses and migrating cultures also affect the region, adding pressure and change to the county as it develops.
