Thrive mixes Manor Lords' mechanics with fantasy world design, and it's hit 1.0

There are a lot of games out there that mix strategy design with a fantasy aesthetic. From Against the Storm to Songs of Conquest, Warcraft 3 to Age of Wonders 4, this combination of setting and genre has always found an audience. Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown follows suit, but, as a mix of RTS and city-building, it throws even more ingredients into the mix to make it stand out from the pack. If you want to see how it works for yourself, now's a good time. Thrive has just hit 1.0 on Steam, and, to celebrate the full version's launch, it's heavily discounted for a limited time.
