“This a great game, yes it is inspired by Manor Lords and uses the same engine, so what? It is NOT a rip off, it is its own game, and honestly I prefer this, It doesn't have that ridiculous region mechanic which made me stop playing ML for good. In this I can build anywhere on…”

“春秋戰國版莊園領主Manor Lords。 無網格的曲線式自拉道路，建築以出入口吸附道路。 勞動人口以家庭(伍)為單位，勞動建築自定義分配家庭進行勞作。 戰時徵召家庭持武器擔任士兵，打完解散。 地圖以地塊形式切割，資源以有限資源點形式存在在地圖上，採集建築需貼近資源點，資源消耗完畢則必須向外部取得。 整個遊戲的操作機制與Manor Lords一般無二。 我不是很想使用"照抄"這個動詞來否定製作者本身的投入，但從遊戲機制上只能說有95%相似，剩下5%是題材和畫風的區別。…”
