More about Manor Lords (from Steam):
Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord. Grow your starting village into a bustling city, manage resources and production chains, and expand your lands through conquest.
Inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords prioritizes historical accuracy wherever possible, using it to inform gameplay mechanics and visuals alike. Common medieval tropes are avoided in favor of historical accuracy in order to make the world feel more authentic, colorful, and believable.
Manor Lords provides a gridless city-building experience with full freedom of placement and rotation. Building mechanics are inspired by the growth of real medieval towns and villages, where major trade routes and the landscape influenced how settlements formed and developed.
Spreading outward from a central marketplace, build your residential, commercial, and industrial districts following the natural lay of the land. Establish farms based on soil fertility, position hunting grounds according to animal populations, and ensure access to adequate resource deposits and forests to provide the raw materials needed for growth.
Assign areas for housing and watch your residents build their homes in accordance with the historical burgage plot system. Each area will be subdivided based on your roads and the allotted space, and homes will scale accordingly.
Build extensions behind larger homes to generate resources that would not otherwise be available. Homeowners don't just pay taxes - they grow vegetables, raise chickens and goats, and otherwise supply themselves and other townsfolk with essential needs beyond what your managed farms, pastures, and industries can provide.
Guide your settlements through the unique demands and opportunities of each season, enjoying the bounty brought by spring rains and preparing for the harsh snows of winter.
From boots to barley and hides to honey, Manor Lords features a great variety of goods fitting of the era. Materials need to be transported and processed into finished products through production chains, and you must balance the basic needs of your people against the desire to produce luxury items to ensure happiness, manufacture trade goods for export, or forge arms and armor to aid in your conquests.
Resources are littered across the map, encouraging you to expand and establish multiple specialized settlements. Extract valuable ores from your mining colonies, while villages devoted to agriculture, herding, or hunting supply the grains and meats needed to feed your growing populations. Will you spend your hard-earned influence to first acquire a rich source of iron for your smiths, or will you prioritize regions with fertile soil to serve as your breadbasket?
Establish trade routes and sell surplus goods to traveling merchants to enrich your population. Manufacturing and exporting a variety of goods will provide wealth with which to upgrade your peoples’ homes, import goods you can’t produce yourself, and through taxes on said wealth, fill your own coffers.
Yours is but a small parcel of land in a vast territory, and the competing ambitions between you and rival lords will inevitably lead to conflict. Lead your people into battle, not as expendable units to be easily replenished, but as your beloved loyal subjects where every death is a cost worth considering.
Train a retinue of skilled warriors to fight battles alongside the levies you raise from the town militia. At times these soldiers will be needed to suppress banditry, and at other times you will lead your men into battle to conquer or defend territory.

[@EffeminateCowardlyVillain]

@@bunnyfist4697 Love that similar has actually happened before too. See; The guy who employed the (literal-ized) Empty Fort strategy in the defense of a city because he was vastly outnumbered by the army led by his rival military strategist, whom he knew well enough to know his rival would overthink the situation and call his attack off out of fear that this guy had a lot more soldiers than he actually had. I forget their names v-v As for something that's actually a lot more like the whole "only 11???", see the story of the Belgian Chasseurs Ardennais Regiment in WW2 (as sung about in Resist And Bite by Sabaton)

[@ZombieSazza]

Hilariously in Scotland our old politicians did write passive aggressive letters, I dunno about the staring tho. One of my all time favourites was a local Ballater politician writing to the Scottish railway company in a very passive aggressive manner “well if you don’t want to construct a toilet at your train station then Queen Victoria simply wouldn’t be interested in visiting your station, that would be embarrassing”. They constructed the toilet (which is now preserved in a nearby hotel, yes I’ve visited it).

With the pointless winding roads, insane boundaries for housing plots of land, and the complete absence of trees, Josh has managed to perfectly recreate the British countryside. ... I'm not even kidding.

[@imperator9343]

Yeah it's kinda funny seeing KZbinrs playing this game and intentionally setting up "silly" housing plots and farms and stuff, when in reality medieval land divisions were often an absolute mess of nonsensical strips and family assignments of random parcels all over the countryside. Generations of inheritance rights and shortsighted communal decision-making resulted in horribly inefficient land management and overall productivity. I know this happened in England and I'm pretty sure there was a similar situation in Russia, so I assume it was a pretty widespread phenomenon that only started getting sorted out in the 18th/19th centuries

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="42">0:42</a> Fun fact! While it is true that nuclear blasts werent seen before the atomic wpns tests; there actually have been explosions thruout history which mayve been large enuf to trigger mushroom clouds, such as the Halifax explosion But even further back than that we do have medieval explosions that mayve been similarly large, but its harder to confirm; like at the Fall of Antwerp in 1585 when a ship packed full of explosives and lit aflame blew up a bridge and resulted in a tsunami as well as an earthquake felt over 35 km away So, it may be possible for you to achieve your medieval mushroom cloud dreams with enuf explosives stored in one place

@@elliotgillum I did share things that did happen tho like the Halifax explosion.

[@thatvrguy1862]

Still way further back than I thought which is pretty cool, I guess humans have always been destructive

[@SylviaRustyFae]

@@thatvrguy1862 It is quite possible there were ancient explosions we dont know anythin about too; and while prty unlikely to have reached mushroom cloud lvls, its still possible that they cudve stockpiled enuf particularly volatile materials together to blow smth rly big up bcuz of an accident Thats how almost all the explosions like that happened, the intentional bridge explosion of the 1580s is the anomaly compared to the many cases of wpns stockpiles bein blown up and causin untold lvls of destruction We normally think of mushroom clouds as a sign of modernity, but its not at all smth that requires modernity; it just requires either modernity or a complete disregard for safety and logic when it comes to stockpilin explosive materials... And a complete disregard for safety and logic wud make a good subtitle for the human species; so i truly can believe its possible mushroom clouds were made in China in like the 600s AD just bcuz they were muckin about with lots of explosives and the historical records are quite muddied over there with myths woven into every layer of their history

I love how Josh turned from Ima enjoy games with my bro To *IM GONNA MAKE DEVELOPERS SCARED OF ME*

[@user-ye3lm4hj8j]

If josh was in the amazing digital circus he'd probably find a way out of there first by finding glitches and crashing the game 😂

[@RazKino]

Ah man, Josh... You hilarious... Been watching dozens of videos on how to play this game for weeks, and then you come in and break the system. Love it!! 😂

[@lexicon1742]

*Me:* Reads the title Ah yes, the Gideon's army maneuver, a battle technique from antiquity. Thanks for the lesson in classical tactics Josh!

[@ZoraEpsilon571]

The irony of watching this right after watching Charborg get absolutely annihilated by a group of bandits while only having 10 ""soldiers"" because he put off making weapons for too long and immediately picked a fight he couldn't win

[@bluebirdfish8171]

Holy moly this game has so much potentional. It looks great for a beta. Can't wait what crazy things will u do after it comes out normally haha

[@captaingamebreaker_yo]

Oh god hey we go again when I hyperventilate due to laughing to much from him finding a bug

Josh's Medieval voice is chef's kiss

[@QuinnB3]

Just got back from school, happy to see this on my recommended right when i get back on my computer :)

[@82dorrin]

If Bethesda was a feudal lord.

[@mrmeatball88]

Compared to some of Josh's newer stuff with lots of editing and creative mode usage, I feel as though this is a welcome step back to older Josh. Just a broken early access nation-builder game and a guy that is all too happy to break it wide open.

[@zenithmalmgren8432]

half an hour of: SAVING MY LIFE. no kidding either! Love you man! your actually still funny!

[@wither1134]

this was just hilarious to watch! can't wait to possibly play this game myself at some point on my channel!

[@woomy7.7]

I love how Josh uploads at 6PM so I'm able to easily watch it. For other things, it's either midnight or 8 AM.

[@pdxcorgidad]

It's 8AM here, so now he's making me get up earlier.

[@tartu2583]

4:30PM here :D

Josh's Lord voice cracks me up. Everyone at the party went quiet when I laughed hard

[@larkshadow5317]

LMAO...I love early access. I'll probably get this game when it comes out, but MAN bugs in the early builds are hilarious. Good video, Man.

[@michelinman2809]

One day I want him to just release a video of him playing a game complete normally and then go back to breaking everything the next game and never address the normal gameplay video

[@SirClucketyGames]

Hilderbert really came in clutch! What with the constant peace negotiations and randomly saving the town despite the fact the townsfolk were stopping him expanding his land

[@larrywalsh9939]

Josh's british accent is wonderfully heinous - it actually suits the channel's theme perfectly - "things done wrong"

[@XescoPicas]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1571">26:11</a> I really like the strategy of Cask-of-Amontillado-ing the enemy army. Very avant-garde

[@The_John_Doe69]

This is the iconic Josh we all love to watch break games.

Josh is like GrayStillPlays in his prime used to be, and he fills that niche style so perfectly 💙

[@ChinsLein]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="158">2:38</a> The voice, a hybrid of a deranged old man and the archetypal English king, is flawless.
