Going Medieval lets you get super creative with your village, castle, and fortress builds thanks to a multi-tier building system, a sort of 3D Dwarf Fortress. While the variety of different building materials is relatively small at the moment (the game just entered Early Access), you can still build some impressive Medieval architecture. Getting to grips with the building system is a bit complicated, to begin with. There are different layers, windows you can open and close, and ways to carve out entire cave bases....
