New medieval city builder is like a chilled Manor Lords, and you can play it now

I like the pressure of strategy and city-building games. Going back as far as the original SimCity, the gratification, partly, comes from solving difficult problems - everyone is banging on your door demanding houses, hospitals, and better schools, but if you work hard enough, you can create an effective utopia. On the contrary, sometimes I just want to relax. The simulations in Manor Lords and Cities Skylines 2 can become so complex I feel like an actual real mayor. So how about an alternative, boasting unique construction mechanics, City Tales is a calmer, kinder take on the medieval builder genre, and you can try it right now.
