SAELIG

the true successor the The Guild series, with a dev that actually cares! Highly recommend it to any fans of that series or anyone who enjoys business/production simulation games. Heck it even has City Building style mechanics for enjoyers of that. Not to mention the dev is great, active with community and is making consistent meaningful updates. Highly Recommended!

SAELIG feels like it understood exactly what made The Guild 2 good and what The Guild 3 somehow lost along the way. The real magic is the personal struggle of starting with almost nothing and slowly becoming something, where even the little successes feel earned. Building your first business, scraping together money, surviving setbacks and eventually looking back at how far you came is what gives this game its soul. I recently played Guild Remake and the whole time I couldn't shake the feeling that they're trying to make a soulless SAELIG. It has allot of the same ideas and mechanics but is missing that personal journey that makes SAELIG special. If you loved The Guild 2 and miss starting from the bottom and actually building a life, give SAELIG a shot.

Stewart Copeland Upon the outer reaches of Ashbury dwelt a humble hunter by the name of Stewart Copeland—a man of modest means, bearing naught but a bow upon his shoulder and a small knife at his side. By toil unending, through day and night alike, he labored and rested only beneath the thin shelter of a worn tent. Yet fortune, though slow to stir, did not forsake him. In time, his earnings grew, and he came to possess not one, but two humble huts—one for his own dwelling, and the other to let for coin. Believing his fortunes secured, Stewart thought himself a man fulfilled. Yet fate, ever fickle, had grander designs for the young hunter. Not long thereafter, he took to wife a woman named Annis. Together they lived in quiet contentment, and through diligence they acquired land and raised a corral, which soon became the cornerstone of their livelihood. In time, they were blessed with two children—a son and a daughter—and for a brief season, prosperity and peace reigned within their home. But such peace was not to endure. On a bitter morning, as frost clung to the earth, a band of northern raiders descended upon Ashbury. In the chaos that followed, Annis stood in defen…

Love It!

great game

*Edit: Caveat for Intel graphics card users: I'm pretty sure having an Intel card is the reason my PC has crashed 3x in 4 days playing this game. Never had this problem with my older PC. Sad, but I guess I can't play this game with my current card. This game was could have been considered complete and was fully playable years ago when I did a playthrough of 62 hours. The dev is super responsive and still keeps adding more content and improvements. The amount of playtime you get for the cost of the game is insane, considering the usual $1/ hour value measurement for Steam games. It's a medieval tycoon game with some slice of life aspects (hunger and energy can be turned off if you don't like this). I built my character up from being a penniless vagrant stealing eggs to a wealthy land owner with multiple chains of production for various medieval industries (like baking, weaponsmithing, leathermaking, etc.), as well as my own storefronts from which to sell my goods. There's also a wealth of choices if you don't want to be a tycoon; you can be a minstrel, a thief, a baker, a warrior, a pyromaniac, etc. I previously tried to play The Guild and The Guild 2 and kept running…
