Noble Legacy starts after the war, when the player takes over the inherited and neglected kingdom of Greenwood. The task is to manage these lands from a third-person perspective, personally overseeing the process of regeneration in its streets and fields. All buildings, from simple halls to fortress walls, are erected under the personal control of the gamer. The process involves attracting skilled settlers, arranging their homes and satisfying their needs to maintain high morale. The gameplay combines kingdom management with direct action on the ground.
