- Manor Lords has been my most anticipated city builder since I first stumbled across it in 2020 - the medieval city builder with RTS combat elements, and an economic system that integrates the two closely... what more could I ask for? This series will showcase Manor Lords gameplay while highlighting how to play Manor Lords, providing explanations for various mechanics and gameplay systems. If you like city builders, if you like medieval settings, and if you like tactical battles, I think you might like this series.

It's gonna be a rough winter... let's see how it goes!
The walk through the path on the forest was 100% worth it, don't let anybody tell you otherwise, cool as heck.
The absolute best thing about this game is how amazingly little progress you can make in 1 hour. It's purposely designed to be so slow and it works. It makes you appreciate the little things in this game.
Firewood is probably low because of lack of wood in their area because of the micromanaging you're doing, coupled with the missing forester to replant what you're cutting down
But check the work areas. Bet anything they are lacking in wood for such a large population.
Also import more. It's not as if you're broke!
You should get charcoal up in Eisendorf after the church is completed. You will need it eventually for the bloomery, and could barter it to Adelsball during the winter to help with the critical fuel situation.
You should second woodcutter in Adelsball Close to Bakers settlement in your Road to Eisendorf.
Maybe try and add a market in front of the storage house on the farming side of town, and it makes sense that they would naturally build their own market nearby. Also, this might resolve the issues with the lack of clothing
Good Idea. Would mean less was to go. Esspecially If you are more houses
No need to apologize, this is literally why I am here. I come to see what is possible in this game so I can make an informed purchase.
Also, you can directly assign specific families to specific jobs too.
Empty the farmhouse and fill it by assigning families directly to it from the nearby burgage plots.
This should help with movement and throughput of goods too.
All looking nice though and really looking forward to the weekend when I can get my paws on a copy
That would probably be useful considering moving people and resources around is one of the biggest bottlenecks.
@@IIIJG52 found another great tip on a YT channel.....build your marketplace opposite a large granary and large storehouse with both fully staffed. Keeps all 3 at 100% most of the time.
Did this earlier today and it works really well
Proximity is key, apparently
Import Linen! 😂
loved that walk through the woods, very relaxing
if it is available you might want a forester to replant trees so you don't run out
Your forager hut residence will probably need it's own well too
It could also facilitate another similar plot for the Iron Mine ....
i know that you have your hands full with the new settlement. but it would be really cool to see the manor get more attention
Loved the walk through the woods!
Seems like your woodcutter lodge has issues with the area they are working.. maybe unassign the area and let them work freely for a while
I think you should move wood cutters closer to the woods in adelsball or at least connect the lower road that going to left side of the city.
You're still exporting firewood. That's why your stocks are always so low.
ye i dont think he noticed even after he switched it to import
Put the trading post directly on the King's Road. Trust me.
Can't wait to get my hands on this game
Remember to buy a second ox with the starting money...
I honestly wouldn't mind a few minutes of B roll at the end of the video; following the NPCs around, watching things be built, just enjoying watching the townsfolk do their thing after each ep.
Agreed! Also, I think all the buildings have full interiors - from plots, to crafting shops etc. Would be nice to watch the Manor Lord visit his subjects at various buildings here and there each episode.
I'm very much enjoying your series... I'm just wondering how inefficient is it for logging/woodcutters to have to travel a long way? Could it be more efficient to move them closer to the trees you want working on?
I like the new town. I think its coming together well.
Beautiful game played with poise. Thanks for convincing me to get this game the instant it comes out :)
Shoes/clothes Fix - Houses get goods by distance - further away get stuff last. Without storing the maximum amount of shoes (# is capped by amount of burgage plots in town), the furthest ones do not get any. Its hard to fix without opening a few clothing stalls just a tad bit closer. So then the market needs to have enough shoes in it stored enough to reach the last house each time they get goods to satisfy needs. Try building a storehouse in the vicinity of the market storing mostly clothing (warehousing certain goods near the market was probably a thing?) - this will ensure that the market is always topped off. Of course opening a small clothing market near the district where all the clothing is produced would totally make sense. Its natural people would go to get best wares from the part of town where all the master tailors sell their stuff.
About the deep slopes on the way to Eisendorf, maybe we could treat them as stairs in our own head-canon
Historically, production chains were usually quite isolated, for example, the furnaces for making bricks and roof tiles are historically right next to the clay pits themselves. Charcoal made near where the wood is chopped, etc.
you probably lost a man because you made them run all the way there. It seems stamina is pretty important for unit effectiveness.
Last time we made it out okay despite low stamina - I think this time it was a combination of that and the fact that some folks were lagging behind. A shame, nonetheless. He will be remembered.
Agreed totally
Also, approval needs to be high for unit effectiveness.
@@Phobos1483 I did not know that one - much appreciated!
@@neilwilkes .
For constant supply and less micromanaging, have 6 feilds.
3 large feilds: wheat wheat fallow, wheat fallow wheat, and fallow wheat wheat
3 small feilds: barley barley fallow, barley fallow barley , and fallow barley barley
Party Elite - " I apologise for keeping the camera her for so long"
Me - "Noooooooo keep it on him for the whole route!"
You can relocate market stall to other market area, just click on stall and click relocate button on right hand corner.
Most Medeval thing ever. Me lord we are in danger of freezing this winter. God will provide lol
Try not to build on the steep land. There's plenty of flat land on the other side and in the forested area. Besides, they wouldn't have built on steep land during that era unless they really had no option. Building on hillsides is difficult without modern equipment. But, most importantly, erosion happens in real life and the houses would have been at greater risk at collapsing due to the land around it slowly moving. If you want to be a little more realistic.
You can also build grids if you want. Each town would have been designed by their Lord to their like and need. But don't make huge blocks! Try and keep them small. Everything during this time was built to be walking distance. Even if horses were around, not everyone had one. In all my city builder games, I try not to make my blocks more than 6 buildings long. Why 6? I don't know, but usually works and looks pleasing.
Either way, enjoying the game and videos.
Always send your army units in short of the enemy so they can cath up, reform, and get a little rest before battle.
These videos are great but you're literally releasing them ten times faster than I can get the free time to watch them 😂
Check the assigned areas of cutting for the firewood cutters
Well. I agree it would be planned, surveyed, and even sketched out on skins for a blueprint, got dyes for ink and leather in game so seems logical that a lord would use means at his disposal.
Loving the series
You are a manor Lord, Party. Act Like it. Stop asking the peasants for their opinion 😊
14:37 This road through the woods is very scenic! The graphics of this game are really nice, save a few inconsistencies I wish video game makers would pay more attention, like people walking through walls, as one example...
But THIS PATH!!! I would be less inclined to complain about this road if you were building towards it. Except, you're building away from it.
I do hope that you will see the comment I left on the previous video. You completely abandoned the thought of sending a road down a steep decline. Those steep declines don't have to be so challenging... just "S" your way down the grades! In turn... you'll have a shorter path between your settlements!
I think it's necessary to have a road from your first settlement going directly towards the iron mines and smiths of Izendorf. When you had mentioned having a trading post in between the two you have at this point... that was intriguing! Though, just like the distant berry gatherer, you'd need burgs over there too.
Don't get rid of your long path.. come to the south down that steepness, and create a triangle (of sorts) with the roads between the cities! Create 2 routes to Izendorf!
Might be a good idea to put a hunter over by the forger shop to add reason for more houses. Possibly a tanner also. Also can you get a well close to there. The area will need its own market area.
Definitely a space I want to flesh out a bit yeah!
@@PartyElite Your doing a good job, I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
16:05 I don't think that path is too steep, then again New Zealand is notorious for steep paths and roads because of the landscape. You should look up Bridle Path, North Canterbury, New Zealand. Its the path settlers took to build their settlements on flatter land. Makes your road look like a Sunday stroll. They made us walk it on an all day school trip, and that was only half the way, we got to take the gondala back down. A lot of good drink bottles were lost that day, once they rolled no one was going after them. RIP
Can't stop thinking of "bread path" still my favorite name 😂😂😂
Party, will there be multiple ways of getting development points in the future?
Because six development points seem a little light, I get that it forces the player to specialize each region more.
Creating a home for the berry baron lol
you shouldve turned the 5 houses into a goat shed and exported leather if you were going to build the trading post so early
easy way to bring in regional wealth
Isnt it a good idea to make a few more pack stations in Adelsball to faster bring goods needed to Eisendorf? Feel like it would be a high priority for a lord that whant to grow a new industry to invest abit harder into it?
So this episkode you built the church, lost a man, and watched wheat grow.
i think you should connect the way to the gathering hut in Eisendorf to your "central" cirkel.
I wonder who died in the battle! I had been joking to my brother that if I was the lord of the manor, Hanns (who was/is secretly in love with his lord’s daughter) might find himself “accidentally” alone in an unadvantageous position during a war 😂
Can we call the mule Rammstein?
bro this shit goes HARD
Im looking forward to see the end result of this.
and something off-topic, my name in the Outro is missing xD
I thought I saw it there last time I checked, but tbh that's a long time ago.
But there's no pressure! Just made me snicker
In regards to the planning of Eisendorf (or however you spell it), if you want it to look organic then you build the houses around the main focus that is there at a time. Hamlets start as a group of houses, usually around a farm, industry or crossroads. If a church, market or tavern appears, the houses then grow around that, dependent on what is important to the peasants building the houses. The Lord doesn't build them - he just allows areas of land to be tenanted, and makes his gold from tax and rents.
It's difficult to let yourself go and be dictated by what is necessary at the time, rather than plan and create the perfect system. However if you really want it to look organic, you will need to let go of this perfection. Either you're trying for perfection, or you're dealing with natural disorder. You can't have both.
Fair point, thanks for the feedback! Definitely taking me some adjustment, I think that is plain to see haha.
@@PartyElite I know because I'm always looking for that perfect system too 🤣
Really interested to know what's the ideal size for a vegetable plot or orchard, and if it depends on how many families are living there, or if its just a matter of any amount of land works identically, so long as its big enough for the back yard...
hello, i think that there is a range limit for the distance between houses/storehouse and market to works
When you take a bandit camp why not give that wealth to your struggling village just to help them import goods. Just a thought.
I'm confused as to why nobody is moving into Eisendorf yet... even though we're waiting on the church, weren't people moving in to Adelsball before the church was built?
Keep it up please
You can’t import in the trading post when you don’t have money. You CAN barter with a different territory to import high priced items then EXPORT them with the trading post to gain income. Your biggest mistake was using all your income to buy supplies that you could’ve got for free (barter). Now you have to deal with that mistake.
Would it help to put housing near the farmland making dedicated farmers
Could you pleas end a video whit a lord walk around the area you were focusing in the video? Because I think it would be a cool way to end a video.
I think you need to shorten up the road connection between your two towns.
The orchards in Adelsball might Look great but are huge waste of place. You should place New houses their and make the Planer orchard at the Manor.
Use that all logs to increase wealth of eiserberg and sell in to abernsball or how you call both villages.
P.S.
Do you have anyone working in mill?
Loving the series and your focus on realism. One nitpick is please stop running your soldiers to exhaustion. It seems a very poor tactical decision, even if the impact in game is minimal it really bothers me. What sort of commander would be like "Okay men, gear up, we're running 20km before this battle"
THIS DROPED MINUTES AGO?! *Ravenously continues to watch.* HUZZAH more territories for PE!! Plus, forced spawning bandit locations, well done! All your base are belong to PE, LOL! (Fortunately PE agreed to move buildings if not roads, let alone multiple trading post and moved or closer residences to the forager hut possibilities.4:45 Oh wait, he's being silly/fun, and seeing what happens with a far away garden, yay! 😅 8:20 and the word PE is "outfit") Planning works only when not starving; they could wait for said church. 14:20 You build this road! Well done! He's whistling?! *Keep that camera there!! MOAR!* 25:11 They region lock the development upgrades? Could have sworn didn't! My mistake! Can the Lord ground walk Eisendorf at the church?
You’re running out of fuel because instead of letting the woodcutter have free reign you half micromanage but don’t move them once they’ve clear cut their area
I hear apples are bugged
Villagers won't eat them, it seems. Should be fixed in the future. I wonder if you can still trade them in the trading post?
@@slcs369 probably a religious reason for not eating them ;) lol
Germans had city planning and some did have a church at the centre; some did not. Those that did not were more planned for 'subjugated' communities that were to be self-sufficient but perhaps limited in the their development. I think they were more intended to be satellites or feeders for the Germanic Lords or Barons and the larger German communities. Credit to One Proud Bavarian for his research into this. It was called a 'Rundlinge'. Check him out for how this was used and when specifically.
It made me think of a Rundling too, for the same reason.
Why not just build the charcoal place in the first town??
Don't have the tech unlocked, unfortunately!
When the farmers have harvested the grain, shouldn't they be threshing it? Plowing/sowing in Oct/Nov I think could be pointless. On the farmhouse advanced tab there is a threshing priority which I think is set to medium, maybe try it on high and see if they thresh first?
People are being silly. Of course churches weren't always the first building in a village.
You are not going to produce any barley next season mi'lord and you also decided to stop importing. People will go nuts when the ale runs out!
Don't want to be a partypooper, but are you aware that the release will not be computable with the version you are now playing?
Truely enjoy your playthrough, would be sad to see you disillusioned when you have to abandon this current fiefdom.
Really need to stop making them run all the way to the enemy 😅
I would stop switching families in and out of jobs, I assume it messes with the shop system and distance to job locations, plus the lore is kinda runied that way people were certain tradesmen for life, farmers would always be farmers for their whole life sorta thing, well not a full stack but at least one or two people permenantly stationed their.
Plus trade more!!!!! you have a wealthy town!
Also stop shoe trade all your leather is getting used there rather than at the market.
If anyone's brutally obsessed with hardcore Medieval warfare and society I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
This isn't a hardcore war game though
You should leave some trees in your town, deforesting the whole area look too modern and barren, takes too much nature away
Seriously your delays and over narration is a huuuuge turn off. You also never go straight to the point always digressing🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️.
I'm thinking place the tavern someplace else far from the church
