Manor Lords’ dev is experimenting with a new trading system that allows for ‘deliberate economic strategies’, including establishing monopolies on resources

Manor Lords, developed by Slavic Magic, had a quiet 2025 as the team recalibrated after its successful early access launch in 2024. Activity increased in December with a significant patch that reworked core systems and castle construction mechanics. Tim Bender, CEO of publisher Hooded Horse, announced a new trade route system that connects locations to the import and export of items, allowing up to three merchants per route. Players must hire at least one merchant to engage in trade, and can attempt to buy out merchants on a route, creating contested economic territory. This system enables players to develop economic strategies, such as monopolizing Iron Slabs. Hooded Horse and Slavic Magic are seeking feedback from the Manor Lords community on these features. Additionally, Hooded Horse launched the 1.0 version of Terra Invicta, a sci-fi grand strategy game, and Bender opposed the use of AI-generated assets in their games.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reported that U.S. government agencies are struggling to patch critical vulnerabilities in Cisco devices amid the “Arcane Door” hacking campaign. Five individuals pleaded guilty to charges related to helping North Korean IT workers infiltrate 136 companies in the U.S. from September 2019 to November 2022. Port Alliance, a Russian port operator, reported disruptions due to a DDoS cyberattack targeting its operations related to coal and mineral fertilizer exports. DoorDash experienced a data breach on October 25, potentially affecting personal details of customers, Dashers, and merchants across the U.S. and Canada, traced back to a social engineering scam. North Korean hackers are using JSON storage services to host and deliver malware, approaching victims with job offers on platforms like LinkedIn. Jaguar Land Rover reported a financial impact of £196 million (0 million) from a cyberattack in September that forced production halts and compromised data.
