Manor Lords: But I Build a MODERN AMERICAN SUBURB!

What if you took the medieval city builder that is Manor Lords... But completely disregarded any historical accuracy and instead used the average American suburb or large town as the city planning? That's what we're going to find out today, in this Manor Lords video by me, Koifish!
That's right, we're going to play Manor Lords: But I Build a MODERN AMERICAN TOWN! I actually used to study city and community planning at University, so this is one of hidden special interests that I get to enjoy in Manor Lords! We're talking dense population suburbs, dead-end streets and massive mansions!
Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord. Expand your medieval village from a few small homes and farms, to a massive city full of craftsmen and traders! Manage resources and production chains, and expand your lands through conquest to become the ultimate Manor Lord!
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.

*GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN SUBURB!* HEAR YE HEAR YE! The latest and greatest in city planning has now arrived to Manor Lords! So get yourself an all American beverage, lean back in your easy chair and enjoy this PATRIOTIC Manor Lords city building experience!

No matter where Koifish runs, Haesteinn will always haunt him.

Easily my favorite American KZbinr. He's gotta be careful with that Swedish accent tho, dont want him to get cancelled

Koifish, you are in the haestein english wikipedia page, in fictional represantation! Look it up!

As a southern American, 4:46 was a perfect representation of what I hear with on a daily basis, but replace “British” with liberal or democrat. Koifish always coming in hot with facts.

It wasn't DONE right! THIS time though! And were getting dense population. It's the best time!

Commies were so terrible at city/civil building that the buildings of soviet era just give me instant depression. Thank NATO/America for disbanding soviet states.

I'm sure koifish meant selling houses for $500,000 as hyperbole, but as someone living on the east coast that's a hell of a deal lmao

[@torrent6181]

I can’t believe the funniest video I’ve seen in years is about a medieval city builder

[@Animeman284]

You know as an American, these jokes should offend me but I find them far too hilarious to care.

[@purpledevilr7463]

On the one hand. A koifish video (automatically brilliant) + a game I absolutely love the look of. On the other hand. Americans.

[@gegepandora6872]

America's fuck yeah land of free

Your Storytelling is amazing Koifish:) another epic video:)

[@jacobsweet7327]

This is the most accurate slander of America I’ve ever seen. Not a single lie was spoken.

[@walnzell9328]

Needing a car to get anywhere in this country is such a pain for the elderly. My grandma always buys stuff she doesn't want on shopping trips so she has the excuse of going out on another shopping run to return them and continue the cycle. I haven't learned how to drive, nor would I even have access to a car. But if she asked me to take the bullet train to the mall, I'd say hell yes. The mall would also be full of business since people actually go there since they wouldn't have to put up with traffic.

[@delta9915]

You and Chiwa are onto great things with Manor Lords

[@HerKnightable]

As an American, I truly feel there was ONE thing missing... Someone needed to mess with your boats and you answer with a "proportional" response by utterly destroying their armies and appearing in front of them to "negotiate." You have a burger in one hand, and a pistol in the other. Both are on the table... choose wisely.

[@Sheogorath3477]

Medieval Wallmart? What about, medieval Wall Street?

To make this a truly blue collar American town you're missing a tavern (or several) and an archery range (also several) so they can practice shooting their bows and getting drunk after work. Also more churches.
