The tents remind me of Lyn from fire emblem on the GBA, her tutorial mission had a similar style, or at least according to my nostalgic memory. Is it mostly slice of life or does it become more political as (if?) he builds the area up?

The similarity is not a coincidence: both Dias' feud and the Sacae region of Fire Emblem were clearly modelled after the steppes in Inner Asia, where nomadic peoples use this sort of tent fairly often.

(It's known as "yurt", "ger", and by other names; it depends on the language.)

The main appeal of those is that they're large enough to be homes (unlike camping tents), but still relatively easy/fast to disassemble and reassemble. A competent group can do it in a single hour, as in this video; but even a single person can do it, it's just that it'd take longer.

Dias builds the area up. There is a bit of political maneuvering happening in the source, but that's mostly done in some bonus/side chapters. The story around Dias himself is for the most part, just him building up his domain and befriending the different non-human species around him. It's very wholesome and comfy for 85% of the time. The remainder are some little adventures that happen every now and then (for example, dragon hunting or a bandit attack). Honestly, there is not much "story", but the series lives with how likable the characters are and how fun it is to watch Illuk Village grow.
