## Key points

- County of Fortune is now in early access.
- Players build and connect multiple medieval settlements.
- Land, resources and local politics shape each town.

## Summary

County of Fortune has entered early access, offering a medieval city builder focused on developing several settlements across one county. The broader scale lets players shape a connected region rather than start separate cities on different maps, with each settlement growing into a distinct part of the county.

Players choose where to establish towns and how they specialise, guided by nearby resources, terrain, rivers and climate. Settlements connect over time, while trade routes, mayors, rival noble houses and migrating cultures add economic and political considerations.
