MANOR LORDS BEGINNERS GUIDE - How to Play LIKE A PRO!

Welcome to Manor Lords! In this guide I'll share all that you need to know to survive and thrive in this medieval city builder. This will be succinct and effective guide. We'll start with the basics - a tutorial on food, fuel & survival. Then, population growth and approval ratings, followed by a deeper dive into growth with some key buildings - Trading Post, Church, and Manor.
The second part of the video focuses on trade, revenue, combat, war and expansion in Manor Lords. With gameplay and timecards for each section, you're welcome to pick and choose the Manor Lords tutorial for you (though I'd recommend watching through it's entirety as each section carefully links with the next one - but I would say that!)
Overall I hope to teach you some quick, easy and efficient Manor Lords gameplay tips and strategies - how to play Manor Lords. But also, how the different parts of the game connect with one another. Like a bunch of little Manor Lords tutorials all blended into one.
Thanks for watching another video from my 'play like a pro' series of beginners guides across strategy and simulation games! This is my Manor Lords: Ultimate Beginners Guide! #ManorLords #Gaming #Strategy #Simulation

Theres 2 skills in the right side of the tree that lower the cost of all routes to 25 and set the import cost to the export cost. Saves a fortune in the long run!

[@CrzBonKerz21]

Stronghold was one of my favorite games growing up. I’m excited to get this!

[@ANTICARBONTAX]

It's very different to stronghold unfortunalty

[@LegacyOfBjornu]

Same, I got all the Stronghold games on my steam. Stronghold 2 was a very big letdown for me however. Never expected Firefly to drop such a pile of shit.

[@barackuse]

Awesome guide! This prompted me to start over again, even though I had no idea what I was doing at first. People starved, and no one wanted to come to my village. One time, I ran out of logs and had no log mill. I was overrun by an army of 200, but my men of 16 died quickly.

[@saintjacques8137]

Thank you for your video! If anyone's interested in a solid historical background on Medieval warfare and society I recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. It's an excellent reference for the manorial system

The game all RTS players have been waiting for!

[@firingallcylinders2949]

It's like Stronghold, I'm getting so much nostalgia from this game

[@AlafinGaming]

1:28 and already two false information. 1. You do not need a logging camp to get firewood. It is a totally different resource chain. 2. You can not upgrade stone. You could iron/Clay (well the mine, not the resource vain...). But you need a perk for that and then the resource is infinite... (and it has to be a rich resource) 3. While writing the comment already I can see he is starting farming when he does not have the manpower for that and even the game tells you to wait for that... Use barries and hunting and the beginning.

[@monze4276]

does the deepmine upgrade make my rich iron resource infinite?

[@AlafinGaming]

@@monze4276 yes - but just your rich iron or clay. Doesn't affect stone.

[@NLTops]

Yeah I stopped the video when he plopped down a farm. I have like 5 hours in this game and even I already know better. Let's build a farm when all our peeps are still homeless. 🤣

[@artexx311]

Great video! Thanks! I've been enjoying the game so far. Some learning curves and this helped on some of them. You got yourself a new follower :D

@@Tech-Savvy1I’ll answer for you it’s great game I’ve been stuck on 40 hours in so far, but I had to keep starting over to learn the system now getting the hang of it. Such amazing play through so far I say it’s worth the money.

Should redo the trade segment considering now there is supply and demand with the public release, makes it a lot harder to earn a proper income now

[@jareddollen1113]

When do you get more points for policies and stuff?

[@JvP000]

I'm surprised how few people mention Caesar 3. ML, in my opinion, is the 2020's spiritual successor to Caesar 3, not Total War. There are of course some additional mechanics, but it's more in line with that lineage of games

[@Goncalo911]

damn i played so much caeser 3... i miss those times.

[@milanpospisil8024]

I started play on challenging and failed 5 times :-( I need to learn mechanics. I hope this video will be useful!

[@theprinceofawesomeness]

Played my first time of Manor Lords today, got unrecoverably viped out by the first attack of Bandits, i had 14 Archers and 13 Spear militas. Was i doing something wrong? I don't think i could have had more citizens at this point since manpower was my bottle neck here

[@justinsgone81]

Amazing video! Thank you so much :)

[@PatKenoo7]

Quick question, is it possible to play this game without any war. Just developping city?

[@dannyblagojevic3871]

Yes there’s a prosperity mode where you can just city build and not worry about raiders.

[@CptSlow89]

Can I play sucessfully only with one town? No expansion?

[@kostas6679]

What music is playing at the beginning of the video? I won't be able to sleep well until I know the name of it, seriously :c

[@mikeburgess1688]

In the video description, there is a more button. Click on it will expand a window, where lower in the window is a section talking about the music in the video. He has 2 songs posted. Are either of these two the song you are looking for?

[@ferley3396]

I expanded to a new region. Fought off the Barron for the land. He took over everything too quickly. After that set up a town. Bandits came and burned everything and killed everyone. My troops took too long to get there. How do I start to rebuild there without any families. It will not let me set up a new camp. Can I send families from my first town to rebuild? What to do?

[@Zeledonom]

Wait so i can't get more families unless i build more houses? i'm 1 year into the game and i haven't been able to get more families wich has hindered fast progress and to make things worse ive had bandits and other units steal and declare war on me while i don't even have a military yet.

[@mikeburgess1688]

Focus on berry picking and hunting shacks maybe? Make market and sell extra meat or wood for trade? Not sure, but sounds like that is a possible way. I'm still learning the game.

[@VENVM666]

Hah! Ya know I hadn’t heard of them before your comment, and I feel like it’s hard to recognise how you sound yourself… But I looked them up (great videos! I’m so glad you mentioned them).

Almost a decade of development, & it's still a beta/demo.

The music you chose does not correspond to the period in which the history of this game takes place. I understand that it sounded quite old :-D.

[@maxzimmer4338]

In combat are you going against real people or bots?

[@calebdarknight15]

Bots. It isnt an online game

[@Soporbum42]

Why do you need a logging camp for firewood? The woodcutter's lodge chops its own trees down...

[@zero8802]

I think that’s how it use to be, the loggers did firewood and logs instead of having its own thing. From what I have seen others saying atleast

[@BluffyMoo]

You need the logging camp to produce timber, thus allowing you to construct other buildings.

if it had a bit more rpg elements sort of like the guild games, perhaps some marriage/alliance/heir system, it would be a truly great game i think. Just building and the occasional basic fighting isnt quite enough imo

[@Damnnnbruh]

Then don't play it. For a lot of people, me included, it already is truly great

[@benwilliams3539]

@Damnnnbruh thanks. I thought for a second I had to play it but I'm glad you're around to give me permission to not.

[@calebdarknight15]

Its early access i think stuff like that will rollout more over time. Especially if the dev wants to keep the game thriving/relevant

the fact we need videos like proves how completely useless the in game "tutorial" actually is. it baffles me how RTS devs keep trying to "automate" everything in these games, I want to be able to actually select a villager and order them to build/collect something not have this simple feature hidden behind dozens of mini windows and icons. Its tedious and annoying, AoE solved this issue decades ago and yet here we are in 2024 and modern day devs don't learn.
