I Built the Most Beautiful Medieval European Manor Lords City

FULL MANOR LORDS REVIEW: • A Total War Veteran Re...
Manor Lords city building gameplay is just crazy good, and in this video, I thought it was time to throw down the gauntlet for real, and show you my favorite creation thus far - the grand city of Nidaros in all its glory. One of my favorite things to do in Manor Lords is to build authentic-looking medieval European villages, towns and cities, because I feel like it gives me so much joy of life to see these creations come together. It all looks so real and beautiful already - so why waste it by making square-shaped grid cities?
But creating these behemoths, especially when you're surpassing 500 inhabitants is no easy feat, and that's why in this video, I'm not just showing off how beautiful Manor Lords can be, but also offering a little Manor Lords city builder tutorial, showing you the most important first steps, and telling you exactly what you need to look out for to create the Manor Lords city of your dreams.
We also take a third person walk around town, which is such an awesome feature! I hope you like seeing everything up close.
Let me know what you think of Manor Lords so far, and give me your opinion on my city! If you enjoyed the video, please remember to leave a like and subscribe to the channel as well, it really means a lot :)

I strong suspect if the community didn't kick off so hard about Thrones of Britannia being focused to one specific region and ignoring the plethora of mechanical innovations that came with it we probably would have gotten Medieval 3.

[@qatsi4897]

That's what I thought too, I was looking forward to making Amstelredamme. But it seems that there is no water such as rivers and lakes, or that no canals can be built. It's early access, so maybe that's scheduled for later, fingers crossed.

[@Jinisinsane]

Next up should be the castle and walls dlc, where we could build our keep and fortifications to fend off attackers.

[@donatedpizza]

Might not even be DLC, as the game is Early Access. They could just add it to the main game.

I'm from a rural region in Central Europe and I can't believe how authentic this game is looking regarding the landscape, flora and building style!

After switching to 3rd person view this starts to look like a Witcher game =) It's seriously impressive, I don't usually play these types of city-builder games but I'm sure hyped for this one

[@Jay-lh7zx]

Its kind of embarrassing that all the American reviewers fell into the city grid trap and I’m super happy there’s creators like this one that emphasize the “beauty” of city builders and the great result that can be reached because of it. Thanks!

[@AndysTake]

Thank you, it's funny hahaha, just shows the cultural divide in a way you wouldn't really expect!

[@jereboy2005]

Im here more for your total war videos but this game has jumped so high in my list of anticipated games thanks to youtubers showing it off. Youe town looks great! I love how you didnt go gridlike roads and how everything just kinda looks wedged in. Looks very immersive

Despite this game not being island and ship/water focused. And is set many 100 years before the setting of Anno 1503. There is something about the atmosphere and feel of this game that just screams Anno 1503 vibes and I love it! There was always something special about Anno 1503, something about the immersion which newer titles didn't have despite also being great. I'm so looking forward to this game finally being released in a few days:D

[@trivixni435]

Good vid, your village on fire was so cooool to see hahahah now after 1 week im thinking they should had let streamers and youtubers get the access in the last week or 5 days before, because now me and lots of peeps know everything about the game and what to do, it will feel like it isnt the first time playing the game when it launches because of that. I even talked with a friend about that, he didnt knew the game and i showed him, he sayed that after watching some hours of the game he liked it but already knew on how to play it and it their interest in the game has decreased from knowing what to do. For example, when you play for the first time you make mistakes, but if you saw some videos you will avoid most of them

[@AndysTake]

trust me, you'll mess up either way. And why did you watch if you didn't want to become familiar with it? I never watch videos of games I don't want spoiled, but that's mostly for story reasons. There's no story here. I'm 100% sure this won't be an issue lol

Need these DLC 1. Fence and wall 2. Castle 3. Politcal setup 4. Other kingdom, village to conquer or pillage 5. Cavalry 5. Black death 😂

[@ChristiaanHW]

Not DLC, just have it added into the game itself. That's what updates are for. DLC's are just a way to make a barbones game, and sell the stuff that makes it into an enjoyable game for more profit.

[@MorsAquilae]

Fuck CA but this game is not the same as Total War. Comparing the two is doing both games a disservice. This game is a city builder first. This launch is having abit of a Helldivers 2 moment with the Total War community though, I have been waiting so long for Medieval 3 or even Empires. Any of the main line titles tbh. It not just me, the demand for a historical medieval strategy game is so high. I cannot wait for this game.

[@cameroncrider6970]

Just imagine the future with mods. I’m sure someone will make a mod or feature that will make total war fans happy. Maybe a just battle mod and one map. Hopefully multiplayer

[@bankatuwenki]

Incredible work for one person, it’s just amazing how everything is worked out, I hope it will still develop, because there is room) one KZbinr called this game Stronghold at the maximum, a worthy successor to it, in general we are waiting for its release and development)

[@KootFloris]

One thing I truly don't like is the map orientation, north south. Most of the time players look into the sun, which means we see most buildings from the shadow side.

[@Hjorth87]

Cue to me trying this on my first playthrough when the game is released... I've played a ton of Rimworld, how hard can it be? *cough* *cough* Lookes amazing, Andy, I do love the concept of the organic growth of the town shown in the layout

Does soil fertility change every playthrough? I just saw other manor lords series starting in the same point of the map and the soil was almost completely fertile for all type of crops

[@linkgrinmbn]

Imagine a Manor Lords + Crusader Kings 3 game, would perhaps be a bit to big of a game? But I would love to both build my cities and conquer far away lands, becoming both a king or emperor and manor lord of my capital

[@CoffeeFiend1]

Got a couple of questions about the battles if anyone wouldn't mind:- 1.) Can you pause the game during battles and issue commands? I don't want any git gud twaddle. I'm a 24yr TW vet. It's just a question. 2.) Are there campaign and battle difficulties? If so how does the battle difficult manifest itself is it just stat buffing and nerfing like in Total War? 3.) Do battles have time limits and if so can they be disabled? 4.) Mechanically how do retreat/withdrawals work? 5.) How deep are the mechanics relating to weather, season, terrain and night battles? 6.) Is there mounted warfare? Now again I don't want any smart ass fluff about it being smaller scale, levy-based, horses being expensive and more associated with social class and blah blah. I'm aware. It's a just a question. Does it feature at all? I've not seen any footage of mounted units at all so I'm curious.
