10 beginner Tips I wished I knew in Medieval Dynasty

[@zanderwhitcroft]

I'm glad there are lot of people sharing what they know! Please if you know any other tips that you wished you knew please let everyone know below. As the game updates there will be balance changes and new items!

[@willow_rayne6678]

I love watching smaller KZbin channels because you go into more detail about certain things. That's what I feel is lost when channels grow to a certain size - the personability with the viewer. I've watched so many videos on this game, especially getting started because it IS a lot of information and things to take in. I needed a better explanation of a few of the settings and what they did/meant; you're the only one who explained it thoroughly and in a way that was easily understood. As your channel grows, please don't lose that - it's invaluable.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Thank you. I understand

[@itsBito]

This video feels exactly what I needed as a casual player that works too much and only play video games to relax. I needed this to consider buying this game that has been on my wishlist for a while now.

[@StBlueFire]

Thanks! Some stuff I didn't know in here which is super helpful. Some other tips: 1) Resource and Food Storages are shared across all buildings. This means you can put a Resource/Food storage right next to a town for easy selling. Just run over and grab what you want to sell without running back to your town! Additionally throw a resource storage outside of the mine and just dump into that if you are playing with weight limit to significantly reduce running. 2) People pull tools and resources they need from resource storage automatically for all tasks. I rarely even use the storages found in each building. They also automatically put things here. 3) The only advantage to sleeping is getting health back and progressing time faster. There is no penalty for not sleeping so chug away in the early years to really set yourself up for success.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

I feel embaressed not thinking of the storage tip! I have so many hours and never thought of this! This is why I love the community, we all have so much knowledge. This is why I decided to make videos cause maybe someone missed what I found eh?

[@terrencesauve]

The storages sharing thing is pretty much the most important game design issue/exploit that should come up in any video. Its a huge time and travel saver. I hope they fix or improve that mechanic, perhaps a oxen cart that carries your resources along a predetermined path, with the chance of having it raided?

[@solen1849]

@@terrencesauve meh, I think people can play how they want. I personally don't want to use exploits. Its a sandbox of sorts. Play how you want, if you want to use an exploit go ahead. They give you an option for infinite health I don't think they care about a selling time saver lol - Though I think a raiding mechanic would be really cool. Maybe some basic base defense items.

[@ralphinator2]

I like longer seasons, to make sure I get all the quests done and still have time for crafting and building. Even when you choose longer seasons, you can skip to the next season whenever you are ready. I also recommend setting the building limit to maximum, because I wasn't done everything I wanted to do with the smaller limit. 200% gives you enough buildings for two or three villages, so you can have people by the lake, and the mines.

[@joeclifford183]

I’m just new to the game and I thought 3 days didn’t feel like enough time for me. I think I’ll play through as devs intended first time and I reckon I’ll probably make seasons a little longer and increase the build limit once I hit it so I can have a slightly more relaxing play through. I don’t like feeling overly rushed with games but I enjoy a challenge still.

[@Kalamoren]

@@joeclifford183 same just started the game and realised the seasons were too short so changed it from 3 to 10 days. let's see how this goes

[@jakubstaniszewski304]

Well each setting i believe has some effect you how it impact you gameplay, i.e. i set to 4, and i am always trying to plan ahead in each season what to do, so far i play this game 30 hours so this going to change after more hour spent, but what i am saying when i know i have four days it get me mobilized to start with the most important things, like in autumn collect mushrooms so that i will have what to feed with villagers over Winter (that is better than just a roasted meet). Or warm up some building so that performance of some villagers won't drop. If I have much more Days I feel like there wouldn't so tension for those stuff, less dopamine i guess. Besides when you have more days you need to wait more for trees to grow and decorate somehow your village, or animals/people to reproduce. I get that setting 10 days you can always sleep those 6 days, but this this is feels off to me, like hacking. But of course everyone should find it's own path to have fun ;)

[@Ragsfire]

Kinda funny for the comments that very hateful on cheating. Its a single player games guys, u can play however u want. Not everybody have lot of free times for long hours grinding. I always money cheat in all games (single player ofc) since i started working because no time for grinding on weekends lol. Good video and keep it up bro, i just played this game after getting it on sale, still understanding the mechanics.

[@svatoslavsemenuk7462]

Cheating represents the characters will to lean into cheating just for his own benefit, thus giving an idea of how honest the person is in the longrun of life. Cheaters in games are just like cheatera in real life, you can not trust aomeone with inclination to such behaviour, irelevant of whether he got exposed in real life or a game. Honest players are a lot more truatworthy in real life than cheatera/hackers...

[@alexcoutereel279]

​@@svatoslavsemenuk7462 kinda lame reaction .. its like all race games mean we all drive like it in real life too?? And all GTA players gonna rob several real life banks or killing peoples everywhere?? Btw this game has in build 'customize game' so game devs let us make a choice to use it to make OUR own game progress easier or harder so it is not cheating because who can we hurt? Who tf are you to make decision on what other players who want use in build customize game option? Especially if it is about SINGLE player game ..

[@svatoslavsemenuk7462]

​@@alexcoutereel279 driving arguments into the spectrum of ad absurdum does not change the point nor give support to cheaters, it just ends in the void. The issue is about the ideology and the way of thinking, not 1:1 manifest of game principles into real life, so the comment although funny, is not appropriate. Behaviourar inclinations do not materialise like direct realisations of ones fantasies. Give it a thought mate.

There are lots of people who play games just to release stress bro, they exists.

[@PaulodeMelo]

I just gotta say, it's so refreshing to finally see a KZbin video where the KZbinr doesn't put every single difficulty on max and goes like "I'm the best. I only ever play the hardest difficulty."

[@zanderwhitcroft]

I play games to enjoy myself. I did all that hard work years ago. I think if i'm around 1000 hours into a game I have earned the right to play how I want.

[@nicopinzel]

Absolutely!

[@ricardinho1484]

To be honest I'm turning off after he set it to easy, specifically turning stamina and weight off.. each to their own tho

[@LubosMudrak]

Funny, I started this game on hardest difficulty. My first death was under a minute (wolves) and I was constantly starving trough the first week, bude man, the experience is so tense. I used to go to the forest in the night to get wood... I don't do that anymore.

[@ellenmarch3095]

[@moxiefuriosa]

This is probably the most useful "things I wish I knew" videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for going through the settings, that was exactly what made me hesitate starting the game. And thank you for being the only KZbinr I've ever seen not be afraid to admit that you prefer to play games like this the same way I do, with focus on the content and city building!

[@grimdaeth]

Omg, the game has changed so much. I got the game extremely early and building was extremely limited. It was more like open world survival more than it is now. So nice to see the changes made. I’ve got to get back into the game soon

Hey are you a jehovahs witness?

[@Kalamoren]

started today and quickly realised my villagers could do some production tasks but they don't seem to do anything, based on your video they're probably lacking the tools and incentives. Great video btw!

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Make sure the work % is set.

[@tomchan0]

​ @Zander Whitcroft Some people love the challenge and these are some of the people that are replying. I on the other hand play for fun and I don't find fun in grinding and huffing and puffing. I only get a little bit of time to play. Being a mom that works fulltime my time for fun is small. I grind and huff and puff in real life so I refuse to do it in a video game lol. Thanks for the tips. As you stated in your video everyone gets to play the game how they want. That is what makes this developers amazing. They realized that and implemented a way for everyone to customize the game how they want :)

[@scott8448]

Not really a game for you if you don’t like grinding because there’s lots of it setting up your village unless you set up a production chain right away. Your gonna spend hours if not days trying to insulate rock buildings as limestone is probably the hardest item to get

Great video.. After owning the game for a while without getting going, this helped a lot.. I agree a lot with the infinite inventory and stamina to begin with, that really did the trick.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Glad it helped!

[@alexanderbarton8388]

I have to say about bandits really fast, they can spawn at anytime. My first encounter was on my second day in game, after an update and 8 years in game later I found out the can spawn in caves too!

[@zanderwhitcroft]

I have had some spawn in Year 1 also they are supposed to wait. Maybe it's an update or a bug? I'll keep my eyes open!

[@nervosadustbolt9642]

They can spawn at anytime.. Just like me having to take a Mega Shite.

[@subtlecynicism2606]

If you don't adjust the weight, you can also use the season change teleportation for mining. Go on a mining spree near the end of the season and get overweight where you can't move near the time of 23:00. Once it hits the 24:00, the season reset will take you home with your overweight ore.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Good tip! Season teleport can be used for alot.

[@HAL0B0MB]

just build a resource storage outside the mine. its a shared system

[@skydriver5709]

Rather than doing that... it would just make more sense to check unlimited carry weight just when you go mining. Either way, you're breaking realism so why restrict your mining to an end of season rush?

[@HAL0B0MB]

@@skydriver5709 thats tooooo easy though. and this way you're playing the game the default way

[@skydriver5709]

@@HAL0B0MB Oh ok. Didn't realize you were just trying to artificially insert additional difficulty. I can see the utility in that. Maybe make fishing seasonal, or don't fish when it rains. Only hunt deer during winter months. For me, the game isn't very realistic. A couple things are, but it's missing massive numbers of things, like hand pulled carts. Nobody miners carried ore in their pockets, or in horse saddles, so there's really no point simulating realism or difficulty in this case. In my opinion.

[@Kitten202021]

That sleep through season tip was beyond reassuring for me! Thank you so much for that specifically. :D

I recently found out that if you have seasons set to like 30 days for example...after the third day you can choose to sleep to the next season.

Wait, crank the xp to 1000%, disable weight, make bandits into walking loot bags that can't harm you in any way is okay, but you consider using fast craft as "breaking the game"?!

[@zanderwhitcroft]

[@scott8448]

Well the others can be seen as making it easier but being able to make infinite items in less then a minute is pretty broken compared to one at a time

[@jakealope81]

Good stuff. Just started playing on Series S, Gamepass. Love this game, and just as you have done, I adjusted the settings. I played on default settings originally, but it was agony for two particular reasons- Stamina drain and carry limitations. I did it a tad different, but I got rid of both of those as well. In a game so large where you rely on running from point A to point B constantly gathering materials, stamina drain and over encumbrance are just a constant distraction. I end up spending more time managing inventory than anything else. No fun. Between 50 hour work weeks and being a parent of two young kids, I don't have time for all of that. I want to chill out and play the game the way I like. Big kudos to the devs for allowing us to make the decision to allow us all to play the way we like. Great video and good pointers.

Game is great, and I am looking forward to more updates.

[@darkcarolineriddle]

So I just discovered this, never knew I could change things, just entered the game with default, I think I will change the days per season, I find myself a little too short on time to get the secondary missions done. On another note, I just got a donkey after 34 hours of game, and the sense of accomplishment I got, was, is, awesome. Somehow clicking unlimited carry weight and stamina seems like a dynamic that would change the feel of the game and I would recommend for anyone trying things out to think this throught, if you want to just build and create your village, go ahead, but if you want to experience the game more fully... don't. Otherwise what was hard before it's inconsequential now, and it kills the spirit of building up your life. At least I know it would for me.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

For sure! I have 2 different saves, one for building and one for survival. Totaly different settings for days when I'm feeling like relaxing and for days when I wanna hunt.

[@josephmatthews7698]

When I'm somewhat good at hunting I'll try my first real game. I don't know if I'll change any of the settings yet, I think I'll try to play the game as it's default set at first.

What’s the fun in playing a non realistic survival game when you just make the settings to your convenience you don’t get challenged at all.

[@guidedkiller6635]

3 things 1 I like the vid 2 why have hp enabled if enemies do no dmg that feels conflicting to me. And 3 the over weight mechanic is good in my opinion there are options like backpacks and pouches which in early to mid game feel amazing to have after getting due to being able to carry 30 logs at a time.

[@terrencesauve]

I concur on the "early" part of the carrying capacity. While the essence of this game is being a laid back RPG, I don't know why I would turn the HP or the carrying capacity on. I just took a full day to collect stones and sticks, crafted about 40 stone knives during the night and went for a villager side quest during the first summer season to get the pouch and backpack. As for the HP, if you see wild animals, just stay away till you can take them on. I haven't died yet and its my first run. No shame in running away!

just about to buy, my fav game is kingdom Come: Deliverence so i have high hopes for this game.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

It has little combat, it's more like if Henry said screw it imma be a villager. It's more laid back and village based.

[@GamerBlinx]

I like this video shows how to strip the game of it being a game and just go through the mechanics of what’s left. Everything is easy, zero challenge and just have immediate satisfaction in a survival game.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

I see no problem. Seeing as you are able to play however you want. By the way how many hours do I need in game to play however I want? Is over 1000 enough? How many hours do you have?

[@josephmatthews7698]

"Oh Noez! You're enjoying the game you paid for wrong!"

[@MahoganyRaven]

I honestly love city builders and I play this game just to build up villages. I wish the devs would add a creative type mode with unlocked tech and buildings from the beginning. That's what I truly want because the story is just boring to me.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Yeah the story isn't AAA...At least you are able to set the rate of learning to max and get everything sooner!

[@Deberber]

Last tip extremely helpful😅 no idea you actually had to supply the tools

I appreciate you. Make sure to leave work for your hier!

[@ronaldgrabast9549]

Mostly correct. You can choose where the door goes by changing the door at it's present placing to a solid wall or window, Then place the door where u want it. I have done this many times

[@ronaldgrabast9549]

Since the Small houses r slightly long side to side they can be placed in the width space of a simple small by turning them 90 degrees and placing the door on what was the side, but now is the front.

[@ronaldgrabast9549]

The furnishing arrangement will change to have access to the doorway.

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Yes! Someone brought this up and changed my whole world! This is why I love when people share tips!

[@ronaldgrabast9549]

Glad to help. So when ur couples have 1 baby that turns 2, You can demolish they 2 bed house and buils a 3 bed house in the same spot if it has enough depth with a small house.

[@alexanderlock6571]

There are some wrong informations on this video. For example: You are able to move the door on houses. You just need to change the preset door to a window or wall before you replace another segment with the new door.

#1 wish I knew is that there are only 10 skill points. I wouldn't have wasted 3 points x multiple on the extra xp skills

[@zanderwhitcroft]

There is a potion of possiblity that resets your skill point. You can respend them.

@@zanderwhitcroft cool. Ive also learned that a wife can reset them if i can ever get the attraction high enough to get one

[@nauna_218]

If you disable the consumption of specific things, will it also disable the "crafters" from pulling the ingredients they need? Ex: if I disable cooked meat will the cook still be able to pull it to make recipes? If I disable sticks will the crafter be able to pull them to make baskets?

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Disabling the usage/ consumption will prevent villagers from using the items. For that usage. In the tab to turn off sticks it's under firewood. That means sticks wont be used for firewood. Same applies for food. Disabling consumption of certain foods prevents people from eating it but will allow crafters to pull.

[@riomouris4767]

Do you need a mine to get access to Iron deposits? I've gone to multiple caves now and only find tin and copper?

[@zanderwhitcroft]

Yes. You may find one or two iron nodes before you build a mine, however after a mine is built the cave gets deeper every year. You eventually get a ton of iron nodes. No idea how deep they get but one mine to the south ended up with 3 or 4 exits if I remember.

[@riomouris4767]

Oh awesome, thankyou! Great video, going to try the XP boost.. I've resorted to building a resource storage next to 2 mines but it'd be helpfully automating

ow do you make the person's character look like yours, please let me know

[@zanderwhitcroft]

The looks are just different clothes you can unlock in the crafting tree. I have 2 outfits one for the winter (quilted vest) and one for summer (short sleeves and shorts). If you haven't gotten that far there are Tailors around the map you are able to buy from. As of now, there is no character creator.
