Controversial thought - I am enjoying this series more than CS2 😮
no wonder
Me to
Not so controversial
It's certainly a fun game! :-)
Well, you didn't set the bar too high haha
5:02 Giving a burgage plot a vegetable garden doesn't take a family out of the labor pool. Only changing laborers to artisans does that. Families with gardens keep their jobs and take their surplus veg to market, that's why longer back yards are good for gardens. Small and medium backyards are fine for chickens and goats.
Good to know thank you :-)
A fun experiment: Make a house with a one morgen backyard.
@@MrMartinSchou That would be one large garden lol
@@ellnic Sort of, but it depends on where you live. The size of 1 morgen depends on where it is, but it seems to be somewhere in central Europe. So it'd be around 2,000 to 2,5000 m^2 or around half an acre.
The tricky part is maintaining it, because you won't have any modern tools to do so, and it'd take an ox around a day to plough it.
@@MrMartinSchouwell a medieval acre is the amount of land 8 oxen could plough in a day so they'd likely need at least 4 for a plot that size
The ability to draw burgage plots and select how many houses are within the plot is a great feature and would work really well in CS2. At least for the way I design cities :D Love the content as always Lord of the Manor Biffa
It would and thankyou 😊
I saw in someone elses video, that if you convert firewood into charcoal, the effecency of the fuel is doubled, meaning, you need to harvest less wood overall.
Good to know thank you :-)
Tmartn2??? He mentions something like that in one episode
Can we get a Manor Lords video a day for a while 😂
Yessss 🙌🙌
Biff are you aware that the castle structes not only snap to the house but to the walls. You didn't have to do what you did. You could've built the palisades and than snapped the towers onto the palisades.
The granarys can be upgraded for more storage just so your aware cause the granary was able to upgrade
If you put your next development points in Trade, it's much cheaper when you have a sudden need for Barley or another resource that won't be harvested for a while.
I can't wait to see what the level 3 burgage plots look like. The designs of the buildings are amazing! And I can't wait to see what your tavern will look like when it's full of people. I'm hoping for some tavern music, too!😁
You'll love the next episode 👍😁
I love that most of the times the description says it all but biffa likes to guess and most of the times he is wrong 😆
Biffa ❤
It can be hard recording, talking, trying to entertain and play all at the same time. Plus it's more fun my way :P
Don't worry, it's more fun for us this way too ❤😅
😅
I was binge watching this series last night, great timing!
Enjoy the latest installment of "Biffa trying to speak German!" :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines You've certainly come a long way from "zwoo" :D
😅
Just so you're aware, orchards are currently bugged. While your citizens will grow and pick apples and stock their markets, they wont eat them so you will end up with a whole bunch of Apples taking up granary space. You can also Upgrade your 1st granary, It will give you vastly more space then building a new one as the basic one only holds 500
Thanks for letting me know.... might explain what happens next episode 🤣
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Lmao, well I am looking forward to seeing what happens
It's great to see your community help out quite a lot, you have built a great team of people here Biffa. P. S. You can upgrade burgages with chickens to help feed your people quicker than carrots
I like the series so far! The game's artistic design give me such Slavic vibe.
Do invest in heavy plow so the Oxen could get the field done very quick for your villagers to plant :P
Also, you can use the fields like a pasture for sheep so their poop could fertilize the field.
Love to see you playing this game. You may not make it a regular series just yet but I hope to see you create more content with this game as it developes. Keep up the great work, Lord Biffa.
@31:00 The church works without anyone assigned. Assigning a family would be necessary during times of war to bury your own deceased citizens/soldiers. Not sure if the bodies of normal citizens who die naturally will stick around though. As of right now, I haven't seen anything about that though.
Absolutely loving this series, and your village looks so lovely and organic! ❤
I hope this series take off more. I really love how this game looks and plays from all the youtubers i watch for this stuff
Did I hear you correctly, mate. ONE MAN designed all this?!?!
yes thats while development has been long and it has been a highly waited for game i can't wait
@trev8591 right..... Puts some other notable releases to utter shame doesn't it....
19:09 Biffa, the tithe is how much food you give to the church!
Indeed 👍
Tithebarn street makes sense now.
@@NineEyeRon Alltithe Alley 😆
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines that's a relief. I thought you were about to drain your larders and not know why. I saw you caught it later, however 50% might still be high if you're not producing a lot of food. This game is gorgeous and I can't wait to see the official release in a few days. I've watched hours of yours and other's content. I'm happy to share what works well but I'm enjoying watching you figure it out more ☺. Thanks for the series Biffa.
A tithe would traditionally be 10% - that's what the word means!
At the bottom of the screen where you change the tax/tithe, it lets you know the effect of the tax/tithe combo. Approval increase or decrease with percentage and it is probably cumulative since it wasn't an automatic change. So excited for this game!!
6:36 you say it doesn't seem to be listed, but skip checking the one categoy it would have made sense for them to be listed under: food 😀 though it does pop up briefly as you hover past it and there is "Vegetables" and "Eggs" in it
I'm loving this series. But also when Biffa becomes literally blind and fails to see the working livestock Jacob, I find myself face-palming with a sigh. 😂
30:00 People in the Stables:
I _think_ there is a bonus of movement or some such when you use a 'driver'.
cheers mate
I'm so excited to play this game. I can't wait. I've been watching you, City Planner, and Proud Bavarian play this, and it's just got me so excited!
Really enjoying this series. The game looks beautiful
I think the reason it wouldn't let you place the burgage lots is because it cut off a road access to the field. That's just an assumption tho.
Since you asked about the oxen, I read a popup on another play - if there's nobody assigned, it uses an unassigned builder to guide the ox. It can get you into trouble if everyone's busy
Great videos Biffa, keep the Manor Lords coming!
Thanks, will do!
Grocers' apostrophes! Arrghh! Ups and downs, Biffa. Ups and downs...I'm still watching, though 😅
I'm ashamed...how can you forgive me :-(
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines I'm watching the video, so all is forgiven 😂 It's just a me thing: I'm allergic to grocers' apostrophes.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Yay!
Adding more farms would allow you to rotate crops and still have a harvest yearly by alternating when those same crops are left fallow and have another plot still growing. This would also increase your yield of the crop over all. This is why IRL you have to have so many more farms for larger populations to live off of.
This is like banished mixed with Tropico game looks so good!
Really enjoying watching this calm and sensible play through. Even enjoyed a mug of coffee while watching 😂
Nice! Thankyou 😁
We need more manor lords im obsessed with this series 😎
I need me some excellence and hard lording to go with my tea, and Biffa delivers. On time.
C:S 2 could learn something from this game for their winter seasons, do love the visuals of this game
The stables. basically the ox will sit there until a worker needs it then the worker has to go over and get it. putting a worker in it saves the other worker a trip.
can't wait till Friday
I kinda wanna see you building your army and taking over regions!! Maybe in another series please! :)
I just downloaded the game. So excited 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Enjoy :-)
that's not a boat in house backyards it's a wagoon :D there is no water so why they would build a boat :D a thing I miss in this game, why there is no rivers, ponds, lakes? Hope devs will add it at some point in the future :) another great episode :) can't wait to play it in 2 days :D
Maybe in the future we'll get different maps 😁
There is a small river on the map
I knew a English man would know how to layout a medieval village, it must be in the DNA lol looks great 👍
Thankyou 😁
I think the reason that the plots couldn't be placed by the farm is because there is an 'invisible' path that is being used. If you look right before you placed the tavern right around 35:45 you can see a citizen walking from the nearest corner to the nearest path. Don't know if this has been said or if that's the case. But it looks like there are some AI paths that are made. I think a recent indie frontier type builder used the same function and it may have been used in Manor Lords as well.
Nice Video!
Thanks!
thank you for notecing my comment in the last video of manor. :)
I hope eventually they'll add level 4 houses and higher because the game is pretty limited to just 3 at the moment and some of us would like build a huge city. I also hope disasters will be added because even medieval times had to face disasters besides droughts.
What would you expect level 4 and higher to be like? Level 3 already looks very fitting for a city. Arbitrarily and artificially adding more levels just to have "more" feels boring and against the spirit of this game ...
I'm no maths historian, but my understanding is that zero and negative numbers were introduced by accountants.
Roman numerals and other early counting systems had no need for zero meat or negative meat. The invention of zero as a number enabled modern placement counting systems e.g. 401 where you have zero 10s, but also other number bases such as hex, decimal points and negative numbers.
Zero was introduced as a concept in India in the 7th century and used as a placeholder enabling the modern way of representing numbers. Negative numbers were discussed in ancient Greece but have no physical meaning, the ancient Chinese though did use negative numbers in commerce (and tax).
Language Trivia Time! The word "tithe" is formed from an Old English word for ten, meaning "one tenth" of your produce.
So, if you want to follow Ye Olden Ways, you should set it to 10%.
Of course, the game doesn't have a Pope somewhere behind the scenes, neither in Rome nor Avignon, to tell you that you're Doing It Wrong(tm). Set it to whatever percentage you prefer and see what happens.
Jacob the oxen is my favorite character in this series.
He's a pro!
Same
If you look at Jacob it says permently admited livestock so it Will only work at that building 😊
Situation: Fuel is a recurring issue (but I have a limited and rare to come by development point that could help)😨
Biffa's thought process: Choose to add variety and surplus to food stocks (which I'm already plundering overmuch with a crazy tithe anyways!) or choose new tech to make my fuel efficiency twice as good to alleviate some of my energy issues?
Orchard after 3 years or kiln immediately?
Apples or coal...? 🤔🤔🤔
Biffa's solution: Apples it is. 😏
🤌🤌🤌It's great to be such a back seat lord over here - I can't help it! Still loving the series as always though 👍
A tip with the markets, have a few small markets nearer the outer properties that have low level to help them get the goods to level them up (when and as you need to level)
Such a beautiful game even when the peeps are jumping for no reason 😂 Really is enjoyable to watch and see how well the town is doing. Doing a great job Biffa! 🤩
Thank you so much 😁
I'm going to take a bit of a guess here, but I reckon if you left a field on fallow for a few years, it would slowly push up the yield percentage. So farming is probably a long-term investment if you don't already have fertile land.
I think one can upgrade the Grannery. So it get far more room! I might remember wrong tho :o Love the series!
seems appropriate to discover there's a very high and highest priority setting when building the tavern.
Using development points for trade and building that up really seems to bring in the money quickly
another day at work watching biffa instead of doing any work B-)
Enjoy!
I really love your style of making these videos. The game looks so good, you explain all things you do so well and you do it all in a quite funny way with a kind of humor I really like. It’s always a joy to see your content! Great work! Quick question: do you have suggestions for like what we can’t really see (menu’s, settings, key-bindings/functions with the keyboard and how to use them) and also, because this is an early access game: what in your opinion isn’t working yet (I’ve heard about the apples that don’t do the trick for instance). Not to attack the dev (they’re doing a gigantic amazing job, honestly), but just as a prospect early access player ;) But even if you don’t! This is great! This is my favorite down time at the moment!
Thankyou 😁 yes there are some bugs but we've been reporting them back and I believe they'll be sorted before release 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines awesome! Thank you!!
Wouldn't you want to have the towers on the corners of your defensive walls, so you can shoot enemies approaching 2 walls from 1 tower?
Though maybe adding the small guard towers later when you can afford them would solve that.
I’m foaming at the mouth to get this game in my hands
Biffa: has constant fuel shortages, ignores doubling the fuel by producing charcoal, goes for making more food that will grow in 3 ingame years. Truly a historically accurate medieval lord who wants more food on the table XD
Took me a while to try and watch these too as I suspected just another war game with no other substance, and I'm surprised of what a gem of a game this is, such pretty graphics! Been watching and episode here, another there but the game seems as interesting no matter what order I watch them in. I'm actually considering buying it eventually which is a lot said. Someone suggested CPP to take the layout of their town here into CS1 but I thought that would make a great base for an old town plan developed into the modern day and that's definitely more of your kind of thing I think. Always love a bit of history shining through in real life cities too, with why the heck this alleyway needs to be this narrow or why this is a Mill Street for no apparent reason etc.
I sure would like to see a live stream Biffa.
I'm sorry CS2 is a bit scuffed at the moment; I sure was looking forward to seeing your cities and watching you fix traffic and cities again.
Real Fact: I started hate watching you because Spiff lost "Red Bull Metropolis" but fell in love anyhow, Thank You for everything!!!
🤣👍
i find that apples and charcoal should be your first upgrades in the research tab or whatever you wanna call it. it doesnt seem like it but if you can get down an orchard year 1 or 2, by year 3 and 4 your fuel and food should be doing great. depends on the start you get i got lucky and had a good iron and clay mine in my area
Biffa, is it after you upgrade a burgage to level 2 that they stop being able to work certain jobs, or only when you add things like the tailor shop? If it’s the latter, you should try to upgrade as many as possible
Please put episodes numbers in title I keep getting lost on where we are thanks love your work
Sorry but no, that's a bad YT practice. But I do put them all in order in a playlist that's on my channel, in the description and the vids are also listed on my home page. Thanks :-)
I’m Fiendish for this game.
Biffa, the ideal # for taxes is 15%-20% and the tithes is 15% - to 25%
8:27 Look in your Livestock Trader !
Also seems to work with now 3 Oxen bringing logs .... Love that game and waiting for the full release before I start.
Hey Biffa!! I am really enjoying the series!
I know there isn't detaling in the game BUT could it be posible to do something interesting with the roads in front of the castle? Maybe an avenue with houses on the side or something like that?
Cool idea!
When I seen you max out tithe I was gonna cry. Donating everything to your church lol
I don't think upgrading your plots has any affect on the backyards, it's only when you change the backyard usage to become something "artisan" (and then you also lose the family from the general work pool). The multi-home plots I think actually allow for a second family (but maybe I misread the pop-up). That row of four plots along the main road will look like medium density row housing when it upgrade to level 3 I reckon. Very cool beans indeed!
Oh, just import barley and export your excess produce. Otherwise you'll be a long time getting the barley from those fields, the fertility is atrocious.
The outer towers will snap to the walls after yoy build it btw. Also love the videos
Every month either 0, 1 or 2 families (depending on your approval rating, 0-50, 50-75, 75-100) will move into your village, but only if there is an empty house. Most of the time you seem to have no available houses, so each month you are losing out on these new families. There should never be a time when you have no empty houses available.
Biffa, I know you can build a tax office inside the castle walls, but I don't know if it offers more benefits than just setting the taxation rate.
This game reminds me of the mobile game townsmen.
Wonderful game, and it`s still in the Early Access. I'm impressed. Is there also the possibility of creating an Army and fighting against another Army?
I just learned something about how manor walls work from One Proud Bavarian's latest video.
After the walls are built, you cannot build any town building (like storage) on the manor grounds.
If you build the walls around an existing town building, the building becomes unclickable amd you can't upgrade it.
But if you build the manor and *plan* the wall without building it, and then build any town buildings you want on the manor gounds *before* building the planned wall, then the building remain clickable and upgradeable.
So the sequence of planning and building is the key to a more flexible way to use the manor walls.
Yeah, this is a glitch and not something that should be able to be done. Fun for a video, but will be patched in the release version :-)
Oh, that's a pity, I was planning to use that!
upgrade your houses.... hit TAB...those houses with a green icon are ready to be upgraded
Do animal populations recover if you shut down the hunting lodge? Do roof tiles make your town less vulnerable to fire?
You can save some space by removing 2 farm houses!
Cantiga de Sta Maria no.302 sounding in the background ❤❤ if you know you know!!
This is going to interpreted by somebody as snide i know ... But its not meant in that way.
Its really nice to see Biffa playing a game ... Badly 😂 at times. Like he's so polished with cities and Beaverborn .... The Manorlords vids have been littered with clangers and its really refreshing to see and i can imagine he's enjoying it too that little bit more for the learning experience and having to try and work things out. 😀
Great game, hopefully it shakes the industry up a bit to realise its not all about the moneycow.
I know I'm not perfect. But I've not been watching other people play, which is how you've been learning. So I will make mistakes & learn like that :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines totally not skating you dude I have loved it and I bet it's refreshing for you too!! 👏🏻👌🏻
Yeah no problem don't worry 👍😁👍
BIFFA! Use your regional wealth to open trading routes to bring in the goods you can't produce yet. 😂 You have so much money, start using it
Can you buy some barley from the trading post to get what you need for the malt? If you can't grow it yet, perhaps try and buy it?
If you give the biggest plots the vegetable gardens, would it help to give those plots a second family house, like the wider plots can have, to help with the gardening production?
Only if there's space for it 👍
You can change the name through the upgrade menu
What days you collect the general waste mate
I'm not sure but I think if you assign people to the stable they are the equivalent of the hauler hut in timberborn
It was bugged in our version, but yes that's how it's supposed to work 👍
what i heard think it was from RCE(?), it started of as solo dev, it has now have few devs
Watching other people, they have unlocked the trade path with their development points. The second one in makes every route only 25 gold!
I think u need just one haus for the diferent types of fields, and u can put 3 families for the crops (sorry my ingles)
Just a thought but you mite think off getting your army up before you start getting raided
One thing I think you did wrong ir missed, was that certain buildings seems to be made to be grouped together. Think everything sheep in the same little area to save on time and I'm sure there are other examples too
19:07 Waiting to watch your village starve, as you realize tithing is food to the church, and you set it at 100%. 😂
28:17 And there you go!
Where's the castle?
I think you had a malthouse already
What I learned so far is to better read all the tooltips.....
Well if I can help you learn that alone, then I've succeeded at my task :P
Better game than cs2
I'm making a guess now:
Have a good look at your Iron mining .... is that refilling OR is that Depleted ?
Giving you perhaps another 3 families minimum and NO tools to sell.
Stand corrected by 25:18, your iron was a Rich one so they will keep going then.
