My biggest mistake was getting married too soon. Could have use those chance to flirt and skill up my diplomacy.

[@SirJayWalker]

I'm not the biggest fan of leveling Diplomacy through flirting, but it use to be really good when you could keep flirting until you made a mistake! now that its limited to 3 or so interactions, id rather take the advantages the wife brings, and level my diplomacy through selling items and animals. To each their own though!

...in the game or IRL?

my biggest mistake it do die by a tree

[@SirJayWalker]

You're not alone 🥲

[@aylaniwalker4500]

I just downloaded the game and was chopping trees, I got hit by the tree and was like wtf?! I did not know you could get by the trees 😂

[@funnygaming2672]

i got kill many times by bouncy trees...😑😑

[@DrZaius3141]

Whenever I play games like these, I am immediately vary of the trees. But after 3 seasons and 18 or so buildings (and the logs that go with that), I felt certain that a tree would do no damage. And then it hit me.

[@darksiders18]

The biggest mistake I made was not having enough wood for my villagers during the winter season. They was crying every second for not having it.

[@jazy921]

Just like with using a simple torch as a workaround in this video, at least the game is forgiving and lets you just buy a ton of firewood from one/some of the NPC(s) in town for the scenario you've described.

[@JacaboBlanco]

Fuck me. I been taking the stumps all around my home lol

[@Brubarov]

Fur clothes are so expensive in the beginning! Thanks for the tips. My biggest mistake was to expand quickly the first years. Better to start slow with a few villagers to cover the basics without running everywhere like a headless chicken.

[@daveisnothere]

Re: Mistake #5. Pick a corner of the map somewhere far away and build a few each of the resource and food storages, prevents this mistake and you will usually have way more storage than most pack-rats could ever want.

[@Ardawna]

Biggest mistake I made was not planning for spring crops. I planted all my fields not realizing that some crops take two seasons before you can harvest them.

[@SirJayWalker]

If only we had better field management tools 🥲

[@ATrainGames]

Great video as always, Jay! I'd add this detail to expound on your point about Firewood: If you think about the Wood Demand in terms of BTU (British Thermal Unit), then it gives you a base number to work towards in determining how much Firewood you need to produce per day to meet village needs (though I would suggest finding an average based on Spring or Autumn so you can burn through some of the stockpile in Winter then re-stock in Summer, and it's always good to have flexibility (like an extra Woodcutter Shed) to be able to increase supply quickly if needed). These numbers will be apparent when you look at the People's Demand Control. Firewood = 5 BTU Sticks = 1 BTU Logs = 10 BTU Planks = 5 BTU The key here is that one Log = 4 Firewood (20 BTU) so that is where you get the most efficiency. Thus, if you take the Daily Demand for the village and divide by 5, you'll know how much Firewood you need per day. Then divide this number by 4, and you'll know how many Logs you need to process into Firewood to meet the demand. It's better to have and not need than need and not have, so always produce a little more. So the equation is ((Daily Demand) / 5) / 4 = # of Logs (to make into Firewood each day) Example from Video: (513/5)= 103 (rounded up). 103/4=26 (rounded up) So you need 26 logs per day processed into Firewood to support the village demand of 513 per day. I would make it a minimum of 30. And this will need to be modified as the village grows. If you find yourself in a pinch when it comes to not having enough, remember, YOU are the most efficient worker you have, so just grab some logs and make a batch of firewood to fill the gap until your people can catch up. Increase production as needed, or put a villager with a higher Extraction skill level in the Woodcutter's Shed and the daily amounts will increase. Finally, if you find yourself with a glut of Firewood, and short on Resource Storage space, stand in front of the Trunk, take out a pile of about 200 Firewood, turn to the side, and drop it on the floor. Or stack it in a Wicker Crate to look neat. This will help lighten the load in Resource Storage but keep in mind your villagers won't be able to access it. So this becomes a RESERVE that you can throw into the trunk if you find yourself in a crisis.

How many people read this book🤔

[@jenniferm.2142]

My biggest mistake was actually hiring too many villagers. They all starved to death because I expanded too fast and couldn’t get enough food for everyone. 😂

[@SirJayWalker]

😭😭😭

[@hermy_style]

Just started today and this was great help! Still very confused on the farming, but i’m sure i’ll get it down !

[@JA-sk9sw]

I usualy hunt way too much meat for my villagers, so i make it rot and make fertilizer out of it. Works fine for now!

[@madog2301]

Thank god i always pay MY king taxes on time. Awesome tips man, i did not know that the food storage and the resource storage stack!

[@TStalker013]

"My favorite potion is the potion of weight." Five seconds before saying that, it's clear that you play on infinite carry weight.

[@SirJayWalker]

I don't play infinite carry weight on all my saves

[@zacharycaso2425]

Honestly this game came naturally to me. I didn't do the tutorial, and I've only looked up a couple videos for clarification because the help menu was garbage. I'm still on my first play through, and the only mistake I made according to this list, is not building storages close to towns.

[@dreadnought2024]

First summer, I plant a lot of cabbage. Great for rot that equals fertilizer!!

[@kenmcnutt2]

Biggest mistake I made was not pumping up affection for my heir. Had less skills than I could have when I switched generations.

[@twiningsirishbreakfasttea3826]

that thumbnail is a work of art

[@rhette.greenhalgh3343]

My biggest mistake was, having a bunch of Raw meat in my inventory right before the new season. 42 pieces of Rot 🙃

[@SirJayWalker]

Atleast you got fertilizer now 😆

[@ACHOSENONE22]

Well you forgot to mention the compost bin that is the best way to make fertilizer when you're starting out because you can throw just about anything in there that you grow especially cabbages you'll hear them say it over and over again, I have to grow more cabbages to make more fertilizer to grow more cabbages and that's exactly what you do with the compost bin I always have at least four of them going every season if I can whatever I can throw in there that's not getting used gets down to 87% or 50% gets thrown in the compost bin for fertilizer.

[@SirJayWalker]

Thats the problem: Compost Bins arent very good. You can drop food on the ground and have it rot in-between seasons, and you don't have to worry about the limited compost bin space. I mostly use compost bins for cosmetics, but to each their own. 🙂

[@sweetmotherofmayhem4173]

The compost bin is more for people who are decorators and like to disable"dropped items rot" so they can decorate tables :) In my OG-settings play-through I just drop food on the ground next to my food resource shelter and wait for the season to flip over.

[@SirJayWalker]

@sweetmotherofmayhem4173 that's how it feels to me too. I think it would be valuable if they added a larger capacity bin!

My biggest mistake was plotting farmland in Summer... while all but one or three seeds must be planted in Spring, the season you start in... Cabbage planted in Summer, Rye and Carrot in Autumn.

[@tonicus123]

Just grub it up and break it a few times. Build up that farming XP to get to pigs, etc.

[@dr3x935]

My biggest mistake was horrible wood management.

[@SirJayWalker]

I still have this problem 🙃

[@MiigsMusic]

My one and only mistake I made was turning myself into an immortal hercules that learns in one minute what normal people learn in a year and kills everything in one blow...by the first winter I wasn't talking to my pregnant wife anymore and by the second I had pretty much everything I need. I just can't bring myself to spend hours and hours working after work😂

[@recksters54]

I think the biggest mistake is going too fast. Not sleeping 12 hours. Even then, I have a hard time finding things to do after 10 years. My recent playthru I have close to 200 population, 90+ workers. And everything is automated. And I'm not crazy about decorating.

[@kiltedvetgaming]

Where do you stream? Is it on KZbin, Twitch, Kick,...?

[@murphychurch8251]

The biggest mistake was marrying too early. No, seriously- you miss out on leveling up diplomacy skills the easy way, because once you're married, you can't flirt any more. Do lots of flirting before settling for a spouse so you get these skillpoints!

[@random2829]

I have a Medieval Dynasty folder where I copy your content. I think I will make a SirJayWalker folder as that is what most of my Medieval Dynasty content consists of. 😀

[@SirJayWalker]

Glad to know you have enjoyed the videos so far 😊 Thanks!!

[@Darkmoon8200]

I think a mistake is forming many couples too soon. Mothers will not work for 8 seasons and kids can't help with tasks until they are 14. Something you may not be able to afford in the early game. You may consider forming couples gradually, not more than one or two per year, or you may suddenly lose half of your village's manpower at the start of a new season.

[@SirJayWalker]

Very true! I plan to cover villagers more in depth in my next video coming up on Sunday 😀

[@outere24]

Well looks like I'm starting again lol I got a few seasons into it buy ive literally put a man an a woman in every house and I have 11 of them so far but only 1 couple is married..

does single player have haircut and face edit now? or only in coop?

[@SirJayWalker]

I think it's only co-op, but I don't believe the system has been implemented yet 🤷‍♂️

[@sananfaraz]

Hey guys, I have a few noob questions: 1. My woodshed produces just 3-4 logs per day, is that normal? Even if I increase the intensity it doesn’t produce more than 6-8, I guess The same goes for hunters as well, they produce less meat. I can easily hunt rabbits and gather meats instead of these villagers working on these huts. Or am I doing something wrong? 2. Which is the best item to produce and sell early game? I’m making buckets and selling it. 3. I don’t understand how to put seeds in a bag. 4. Which crop do I farm early game? 5. How do I increase villagers skills? Thanks in advance, and any other suggestions are appreciated

[@kingscoops]

1. Different villagers have different skill values, woodcutting is extraction skill so you want a worker with 3 in that skill to get the most out of your woodshed. Hunters are more for steady leather gathering, as you will always out hunt them for meat. 2. Simple bags / waterskins / torches is the way I go. All use leather, once you unlock the smithy go mining and produce copper daggers to sell. 3. Equip the bag right click select seed type out of seeds in your inventory. 4. Flax, flax, flax, then what ever you like. 5. They increase over time after doing the same job for multiple seasons/years always try to find villagers with a skill level of 3 for the specific job you are wanting them to do in your village. Hope this helps :)

[@leoniekoning1005]

My biggest mistake thus far was hiring too many villagers too soon without the proper resources to care for them. Combined with putting men and women together very early on and having women step away from their work to become mothers, causing a backlog of resources and a lot of shifting men into their jobs to take over. 😅 That was my very first time trying to play. Which had me extremely frustrated with the game and myself so I started over. I must say I am doing fairly alright now with my second attempt. Though I will admit that I did apply some of the in game cheats for now so I can just get the hang of the game and the managing and such.

[@SirJayWalker]

That mid-game baby boom always hurts if you don' t prepare yourself lol 🥲and I don't blame you for messing with game options! my first run that got me hooked on Medieval Dynasty, I was playing Fast Crafting, Building, Unlimited Carry Weight, and increased technology gain. In my current run I've been playing without Unlimited Carry Weight and not changing default xp (I still use Fast Crafting and Fast Building) and its made Consumables a lot more useful!

[@Dave062YT]

I have unlimited weight .If I get a donkey will my weight be limited when riding it ?

[@SirJayWalker]

Nope, It'll also be unlimited

I just started and the lack of carrying capacity is infuriating. 6 lumber and im overburdened. Took me an hour to build a house and storage

[@JacaboBlanco]

Fuck it. Turning off carrying capacity 😂

[@SirJayWalker]

Bags, weight potions, and mounts can help you with carry capacity. It may be easier to learn with carry capacity off the first time though 🙂

[@SaltLyfe]

That's why this a management game💁🏿‍♂️

[@ACHOSENONE22]

Absolutely correct and I always start with the Forester and then the excavation because the food is the easy part getting food is easy it's all the hard work that you have to do cutting down trees that I leave to the villagers. So I always do extraction buildings first and then work on the food the food is the easy part I can hunt and get more food than they can to start out but if you don't want to bust your ass doing all the work cutting down trees and scavenging for sticks and Stones it's better that way and I get that started in the first year. I've had people not agree with me on that but to each their own that's what works very well for me.

[@SirJayWalker]

Fair point!

[@Nerdburn]

the big mistake is to start again then get bored

[@hankmmxviii2640]

My biggest mistake was not turning fast build and craft from the beginning. Fast building is faster, more snappy and satisfying. And trust me you don't want to sit watching your character twirl their hands whenever you craft more than one item. It's quite telling there's an option for disabling them. That does make quite a few skills useless but you're crazy if you picked those skills in the first place, like having slightly faster hammering animation and crafting speed.

[@SirJayWalker]

[@fortusvictus8297]

My worst mistakes are from doing exactly what you say players SHOULD do. That is, recruiting too soon. Or more specifically, creating families too soon. What happens is a baby boom and each child counts against your worker cap even if they are not available for 18 years. So if you build 6 houses and fill them with 2 recruited workers, they will quickly create 2 kids for a total of 4 hit to your cap and you lose the mother for 4 years straight as well. So yeah, I had a village of 50 real quick but only about 15 workers and could not recruit anyone because of dynasty cap limit.
