[@NCEwing99]

This was great. I saw enough ideas that I want to incorporate, I have to start a new game. Again lol Thank you for all the tips. Also, I just love the large market area you showed that was brilliant.

[@PampaPampa-]

Best part about the game is starting a new town haha glad you've enjoyed it and found it so helpful!

[@igor8770]

That photo mode advice is so on point! Really enjoyed the video

[@PampaPampa-]

I've found it super helpful to use! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shanesoldner9117]

I started playing this game in peaceful valley and made it to season three or four before I realized that my town could be much better. So just today I started a new town in oxbow by the waterfall. This video is great and I think you saved me from building in a grid.

[@PampaPampa-]

That's a great spot to build in, it's really nice there! Glad the video has helped!

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

I'm in the middle of moving my town .. wish I had seen this video before. Great tips .. I'll definatly keep that in mind as I continue to expand

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you and good luck on the expansion!

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

@@PampaPampa- I just checked out your villages tour videos and I'm curious as to how you play the game. Do you still manage the villagers ? Do you place them according to their workplace and everything ? It feels like you're playing kinda like in a creative mode, do you build a "functionnal" village first to unlock everything then start building a "pretty" village ?

[@PampaPampa-]

@jean-philippemoreau4601 I'll be going over exactly that in episode 3 😉

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

​@@PampaPampa- well you gotta release it asap then lol 😂

[@NinmahPlays]

This was not only really helpful, but also very relaxing! Can't wait to try out some of your tips, especially now with the new autumn update. Thanks!

[@PampaPampa-]

Aw you're welcome! Glad it could help and was a relaxing watch too!

[@milinia]

Great tips!! ❤ I love how you explain everything so well and I'm sure it will be helpful to a lot of people. Especially those who would like to build in a more organic way but don't know where to start. And yes, leave the trees and bushes alone!! Unless you want a more apocalyptic look of course.....

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you!! Yes that is exactly what I was aiming for so that's good, hopefully it will help those people!! Definitely leave the trees alone or Pampa will come for you 😂

[@nienke09090]

This is so helpful, thank you! And your towns are really beautiful

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you so much! Glad you found it so helpful!

[@connorslist]

This changed my perspective. Ive been so Cities skylines brained about grids and efficiencey, but These organic designs look way more beautiful while maintaining decent efficiency.

[@PampaPampa-]

Ah that's great that it's given you a new perspective, glad I could I help with that!

[@mikeb1too]

Now i want to build a town in the mountains!! you do such a great job bud !!! thank you for doing this

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you and you're absolutely welcome mate! It's definitely a fun area to build in and the views are amazing!

[@Thetruepianoman]

This was so chill! Relaxing and informative, good job mate :) Edit: This was great, thank you. Id have loved to see what some of these looked like built tbh 😂

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, really appreciate it! And glad you found it helpful!

[@NewLord]

Thanks for the inspiration with the homesteads. This will definitely help my friend and me when we'll rebuild our village. In my opinion it's completely fine to start with a grid based layout for resource gathering, leveling your workers and unlock the recipes. When you have enough you have more freedom in "planing" the unplaned :D

[@PampaPampa-]

You're absolutely welcome, glad it's helped inspire you! Yeah I said in the video I think about how grids are great from a convenience and logistics point of view (or maybe I cut that, can't remember now ha) but from purely an aesthetic and realistic pov I think they should be largely avoided imo!

[@nathansantana7055]

You never disappoint! Cant wait for part 3. Thanks for the vid🙌👍

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eduardlisner7071]

Thanks a lot!

You're welcome!

[@DanUrsul]

I can already imagine the devs taking notes :D. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you very much, really appreciate it!

[@raycornford283]

Brilliant content! Love your tips and examples. I feel inspired to try something "different"

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you so much, really appreciate it! Glad it's inspired you!!

[@dorothyward138]

Thank you for such a great video, one wish I have for the game is maple syrup! all those maple trees makes me wonder why there isn't that in the game

[@PampaPampa-]

You're welcome! And the simple answer is that maple syrup was almost certainly discovered by the indigenous tribes of North America and therefore only discovered by European settlers around the 15th century so about 3-500 years after Medieval Dynasty takes place. Maple syrups popularity, I'd argue even today, is also mainly centralised around Canada and the US. We obviously can get it here in Europe, but I don't know of anywhere that it's commonly or widely used and available anywhere near like it is across the pond. So, from the games perspective, it just wouldn't make any sense from any point of view to have it in there!

[@Astr0Nugg3t]

absolutely love your content! Thank you so much for this ❤

[@PampaPampa-]

You're absolutely welcome and thank you, really appreciate it!!

[@nst7gaming]

Great Video! Using the natural land is great! I try to do the same type of thing!

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you, appreciate it! Yeah it's definitely a good way to go, especially if you're building in rougher terrain like this!

[@samwaterhouse-s2m]

Im on year 8 of the oxbow, settled in islands in the river near the marsh and klonica. I liked it at first got nice views and its flat to build on. But you have inspired me to move to a spot with more character. I lke the idea of a mountain people. Lots of smiths and sheep haha.

[@PampaPampa-]

Yeah the islands are a good spot to be fair! The mountain has amazing views and lots of potential for a little smithy community for sure! Not great for resources though especially a mine!

[@samwaterhouse-s2m]

@@PampaPampa- yeah, probably not place to have a large village / town! I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Your other villages always impress me.

[@RaiKaneda-o7n]

Only problem is the limited flat land for chairs and tables deco... Like it's unrealistic if your villagers and their food are tiltin over. lol. Plus it's annoying when it keep sayin "too uneven"

[@KenHousiaux]

Thanks for the awesome video!

[@PampaPampa-]

Appreciate you taking the time to comment and you're absolutely welcome!

[@_Belisarios_]

Thanks for the amazing video. I loved it. I struggle to plan things out as you showed as I play with buildings locked at start. Thus, it's hard to plan out a marketsquare.. and when you reach it your town has developed mostly. So i prefer to develop my town step by step, let it grow organically. However, at a point this might mean destroying buildings and rebuilding an area

[@PampaPampa-]

You're welcome, thanks for watching! Yeah I understand that, I'll be touching on this in the next episode but what tend to do is build sort of a temporary town in a nearby area initially whilst I unlock everything. Once everything is unlocked I then start planning out the proper town!

[@_Belisarios_]

@@PampaPampa- I understand that approach. To me it feels unhistoric, and it is more immersive to start as a tiny village and then growing slowly but steadily. I like the roleplay more in this regard

[@PampaPampa-]

@_Belisarios_ yeah I completely understand that approach as well! Maybe you could roleplay it when you take over as your son he goes on to make his new town?

[@Nerdburn]

even though i know the tips already i still enjoy watching a master at work.

[@PampaPampa-]

Shame you already knew them all but glad you enjoyed it all the same!

[@ivuska63]

Thank you.

[@PampaPampa-]

You're welcome!

[@emeraldeye14]

Good video but it seems like planning a nice town would be impossible until everything is all unlocked. I would much prefer it if you did a video on how to plan a nice video while you're actually playing the game and unlocking things in stages. For example an early game nice settlement where you dont have a town square, how can you prepare for one etc.

[@PampaPampa-]

I do mention this at the start of the video that it's difficult to show my full process as the video would be so long. It takes a long time to properly plan them out. In the next episode I'm going through a few different options to work around this issue though.

[@thatgreenguy3969]

Ngl. I probably wouldn't watch a video if all you could do is build a house and a stump chair. You're basically asking for a playthrough video.

[@emeraldeye14]

@@thatgreenguy3969 No, I'm asking for ways to plan a village around late game stuff when you only have early game stuff unlocked.

[@xctsam]

wow, this was i think the most helpfull video I have ever seen! But i have two questions: Could you make an video where you show us how to decorate like town squeres or gardens, because i really struglle with decoration and making the ground look cool. Second what are your game settings, because you have so many resources, i also want that :)

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that! I'll be going over both of your questions in episodes 3 & 4!

[@xctsam]

@@PampaPampa- oh thats perfect, I can‘t wait, when will they come out?

[@PampaPampa-]

@xctsam hopefully episode 3 is this Friday and episode 4 the following Friday! Although take that with a grain of salt as I've had something come up at home this week which is demanding a lot of my time but I'm still hopeful that I can get them done.

[@mannifinalsummer4544]

I'd wish for a future patch to add a plan mode, best from birds eye perspective. I'm not really good in planning a town horizontally so that would help a lot. Rn I'm in oxbow year 4, building a separate mining village left to Ostoya on the small river with the waterfall. Beautiful place, I'll definitely build my main town there next time! Also if I could ask for a real important update...I'd wish for gender locked houses. Like for 2 or 3 men living together until I move them in with a lady. I always end up having a huge baby boom after 3 years bc I can't just build double the houses to keep it under control 😅 if they add this one day I'll be a happy lil bugger ❤

[@PampaPampa-]

Yes that would be a really helpful feature to implement into the game, completely agree!

[@saphloop]

im so early!! im about to move from my starter village perfect timing 😂

[@PampaPampa-]

Oh awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@franerd8638]

Hi! How can I disable collision restrictions for building placement in Medieval Dynasty? I want to place objects closer together, but the game prevents it. Is there a way to edit files or use mods to fix this? Thanks!

[@PampaPampa-]

No idea I'm afraid. The only 'mod' that I'm aware of is the one mentioned in the video about increasing the build limit. Otherwise, the devs haven't made the game moddable, so I suspect probably not.

[@NaglasKaunietis]

nice ✌

[@PampaPampa-]

Thank you!

[@vbuckland]

Wow - how did I miss photo mode? I will definitely be using that in the future. One question, though. When I'm starting out, I don't have access to many buildings, and I have trouble visualizing how big the later buildings are and how much space I should leave. In the video, you had access to all of the buildings already. What do you suggest when you don't have that access? Thanks for the vids!

[@PampaPampa-]

Yeah it can be really helpful to get a better view of things! And you're absolutely welcome, glad you found it helpful! Stay tuned for episode 3 because I'll be addressing exactly this issue in a couple of different ways!

[@CoconutPushie]

Me nd my cousin are new made a couple of building by any chance do you know how to get new schemitcks ?

[@PampaPampa-]

Go into the technology tab and it'll show you how much XP in each area (farming, building etc.) you need to unlock each new building schematic.

[@dondavir6658]

Very great tips, thank you. Kind of annoyed I hadn’t gotten to this sooner. After watching this, I’m heavily considering moving my whole town. Dangit. I do have constructive criticism of your video though, I mean no offense: If you can, make sure to stay very well hydrated while recording the voice over so that you don’t include the sticky, tacky mouth sounds while you’re speaking. It just gets extremely distracting after a while. Sure, there’s likely free programs that can eliminate that, and of course the paid versions will be much better, but it’s just easier to not capture the mouth sounds to begin with. Other than that, wonderful video!

[@PampaPampa-]

You're welcome, glad you found it so helpful! And thank you for the feedback, always looking for ways to improve!

[@colinbode4651]

Built my house right in front of the fruit trees in my village

[@PampaPampa-]

Yeah I love using the fruit trees, Pear trees are my favourite!

[@Zandalorscat]

My natural and organic layout: chaos 😂

[@PampaPampa-]

Someone needs to count how many times I said natural and organic 😂

[@chrisadair1394]

Confused. You said you picked best 6 places then said the mountain that’s difficult to settle on? Lol how did the mountain become in your top 6?

[@PampaPampa-]

It was 6 of the best spots to build a unique looking town not 6 of the easiest spots to build in.

[@chrisadair1394]

Ahh fair enough.

[@capi-l8u]

please do this with valley

[@PampaPampa-]

You can still do all of this on the valley!

What game is this?

[@Grizzlyblove]

Try recording in 1080p mp4 on ps5 and see if you lose the washed out effect you get from uploading a webm to yt

[@PampaPampa-]

If it's bothering you that much you are more than welcome to buy me a PS5 and I'll give it a go!

[@Grizzlyblove]

@PampaPampa- its a setting change on ps5 because WEBM vids are washed out on YT...HDR and all that.. Assumed u use ps5 since you use ps5 controller but ok. Your lack of care towards your video shows. Get some sleep its 4 am bro.

[@PampaPampa-]

Right... I play on PC and it's 9am but thanks anyway I guess!

[@VassalRavenKills]

chapters pls

[@PampaPampa-]

I've put chapters in?

[@MS-zp5by]

Why build in straight line , medieval villages were built all over the place

[@DnD-Hobby]

Which is exactly what he said (tips 6). But showing how it COULD be done is still helpful. ;)

[@Ceosik96]

Or straight river or forest

[@PampaPampa-]

Well there obviously were straight lines in Medieval towns so I thought it a helpful feature to point out but as I said in the video I would use them sparingly as there weren't perfectly straight grid systems or not typical at the very least!
