AManor Lordsplayer has built an incredibly large city that took more than 50 hours to create. Busy-Shallot initially shared this achievement in a Reddit post, stating, “I have reached the destination of my journey.” And, “I have reached 4,548 inhabitants in one region. The game is no longer really playable, and pathfinding is practically non-existent.” This city-building feat caught the eye of the game’s developer, Greg Styczeń from Slavic Magic who commented, “Holy moly that’s a huge one, I’m impressed,” Styczeń went on to pledge to “continue work on optimization” to allow players to keep hoarding villagers without remorse or lag.
