I could watch these for hours. I'm studying 13th century Scotland and I like this game's setting. I hope this game is as fun to play as it looks.

An acre is a chain by a furlong. The chain being the width of the acre and the furlong being the length of the furrow. And yes, an acre is what one man with a team of 8 oxen could plow in a day. The chain is interesting because it, rather than being a rope, was seen as more accurate. If you have a standard chain when pulled taut it won't stretch. And since chain links are hard to make and easier to standardize, if you had a certified chain it would be accurate for much longer(wear of a metal chain is much less of an issue than wear of a rope. Rope stretchers were a common building job before the introduction of the chain. They had a rope, marked out with knots at a standard distance, and would stretch it to verify distances. They were also responsible for checking squareness using pythagorean counting of knots. For example if you need to check a corner for squareness when laying out a plot, you can run three knots on one edge, four knots on the other, and there should be 5 knots returning to the origin, a 3-4-5 triangle. These ancient surveying techniques fascinate me because they're the origin of our attempts to precise mapping and understanding of the world around us. We talk a lot today about "how silly it is" but really they're ingenious developments for their time.

The developer is a single human (plus providers for art assets, music etc.)

[@Illier1]

Hopefully when this game gets them some funds they can hire on some additional help. The vision here is perfect but the dev is going to need more hands to update the game in a realistic timeframe.

[@SuperAd1980]

@@Illier1 he's refused point blank, and been really stubborn about it for the last 7 years.... I don't see that changing.

[@thisisboxingproductions6894]

@@SuperAd1980 lies. For the last couple of months he did work with other Developers to get it ready for early access. He'll defo hire few more people to get it over the line.

[@matthewwheatley]

@@thisisboxingproductions6894 yes, he brought in a QA team for bug issues before release as external providers

[@warallied]

i dunno about those stories - the company making it has a publisher - i doubt they'll like the idea of 1 dev team taking 10 years to make a game - they'd be terrible publishers otherwise.

[@nahco3994]

I mean... spears have been in use throughout the entire human history as THE main battlefield weapon. For literal millennia. I don't think this is because it was "basic" and therefore bad. The real reason is because spearmen, especially when deployed in larger numbers, are bloody freakin' effective at killing stuff.

[@robson1566]

And it is "basic" in the sense that does not need as much training when compared to other weapons. Archery, swordsmanship, sledgehammer wielding and all that are effective too, but take a lot of training to master. You can give a spear and a shield to a man and make him effective with pretty little training.

[@SamCaldwell]

This looks so sick. I have had this on my wishlist for forever. Thanks for doing a great stream on this. Convinced me to go for it once it comes out.

[@PeterLePresident]

Thank god for this! I've been waiting for your first gameplay of this. Friday can't come fast enough.

[@Boslandschap1]

The game looks amazing and great fun to play. Very charming, and I love the possibility that the player can walk around the setllement.

[@williamtobey614]

Quill, I have so much fun watching you play. Especially when you are playing something new. I have learned so many ways and tricks for playing Rimworld from watching you. Now I can't wait to watch you play Manor Lords. Thank you for all that you do.

[@KeimpeJ]

12:15 "Our neighbours are much more fertile." If i got a penny for everytime one of my exes said that.

[@spamfilter32]

That cliff side is the perfect place to build your manor house. It has the high ground giving you a commanding view and the cliff mean your enemies are limited in where they can attack you.

[@bismarckshuffle]

Ugh, Streets of Sim City reference just aged me three centuries. You also could play the same cities in SimCopter and rescue people/put out fires/stop crime. Glorious Maxis days.

[@Captain_Hindsight]

Did you play Sim Golf? I loved it so much as a kind

[@Barbabonbon]

@@Captain_Hindsight Sim golf was my jam too! You should take a look at Golftopia for a modern take at Sim Golf.

For yard production, only the vegetable gardens and the apple orchards benefit from having more space. All other extensions produce the same amount regardless of how big or small the lot is.

[@wafflecopter208]

have you thought of turning a spam filter on yourself? Your backseating seems a bit excessive

[@General12th]

@@wafflecopter208 Half the comments on this video are from spamfilter.

[@spamfilter32]

Leather will fulfill the basic clothing requirement for the villagers. the hunting lodge produces both meat and hides. The tannery takes hides and producers leather. Tannery's stink to high heaven so they do not belong anywhere near your village. The Goat extension for your burgage plots also produce hides, but they do not produce either meat or milk (at least not yet).

[@definitelynotadam]

I love the atmosphere and the music. Someone put some heart into this.

[@General12th]

*Quill:* "Oh no! We're running out of food!" *Also Quill:* _takes a huge bite of sushi_

[@spamfilter32]

@42:27 You did not leave enough room for an extension. You have space to add a second house. Those are different things. The second house goes beside the main house, whiloe the extensions are always in the back yard, behind the house.

[@spamfilter32]

When a new family moves into the village, that is 3 people, so the food and firewood supply can go down fast.

[@Albireo8]

Your achievement of arms is "azure, 4 oak leaves argent".

[@spamfilter32]

You didn't start with any planks. You made them at the sawpit and then they were transported for storage to the storage hut. The Sawpit has storage for 1 log (which it converts to planks) so when ever a log is delivered to the sawpit, the storage is technically full, so it is both a bug and not a bug to get the storage full.

[@Vipre-]

I put money aside for this in September because it had been planned for a December EA release, then in October we learned it had been pushed back to April. It's been a long six months but only one more day to go.

[@Wolfineer_]

Warcraft 2 is still the best in the series for me, would definitely enjoy a nostalgia run through 1 & 2.

[@kenny7949]

I thought Quill would have been all over this two weeks ago. Just starting the video. Curious to see how he likes it.

[@jaimefernandez2624]

it takes him a while to get twitch streams moved to youtubem he mentions here how he played planet crafter before this and that one is still not on youtube.

[@Luzarioth]

There is a custom campaign for StarCraft2 that rebuilds WC3... so you know, the thing Blizzard should have done... It's will sadly take a few more years until every WC3 campaign is added, but if you wanna play WC3, THAT is the way to do it.

[@ch420newsteam]

Do folks know why Quill does not duel stream on twitch and youtube like so many other streamers? The rules where you had to be exclusive had ended the other streamers said. I believe it is because KZbin lets streamers go live in 4k and quill has an unnatural hatred for 4K. 4K killed a family member of his I assume.

[@paoloadam]

4K banged his gf

[@gaaraxebeard]

Ah, Sim Copter. I remember you could drop people out of your helicopter over the hospital and the money you'd get for helping an injured person to the hospital was greater than the penalty you got for injuring him.

[@John-vf6jr]

Quill18, the most pleasant streamer out there.

[@spamfilter32]

That field is way to big. It is unlikely you can plow the whole thing with the number of people you have to work it. You would be better having 3 smaller fields and set up a rotation so that each year 1 is producing rye, 1 produces wheat and the other is fallow. at start, the fields should be only about 1 Morgan in size. Once your village is bigger and you can employee many families in multiple farmhouses, you can have larger fields.

[@jonathangibson9098]

😂 "can we get sushi?" 🍣

[@spamfilter32]

"The game said to build huge ones (fields) so I built huge ones." No, it said the opposite. It said to start with small fields and then to build huge ones later once your village is much much bigger.

[@Skittleshunter64]

This game reminds me alot of banished

[@akou6567]

Apparently there is a new beta patch that was just released will you be doing a video of this?

[@starvingpeoplecantcomplain]

I hope upon release cabbage and other vegetables farming will also be possible.

[@spamfilter32]

the vegetable gardens are mixed vegetables. The carrot symbol is just a symbol.

[@starvingpeoplecantcomplain]

@@spamfilter32 I know that but I still believe it would be better and more accurate if it was possible to plant a field of cabbages so you could have fresh vegetables in the winter. It would also make more sense in regards to crops rotation

[@spamfilter32]

@starvingpeoplecantcomplain at some point, you have to abstract things out. In any case, you don't have fields of vegetables. Vegetables are grown in the burgage plot gardens.

[@WolfricThorsson]

Chat - "Generic Storage Full" is a bug because the Woodcutters reserves a log Quill - Oh! It's because the Logging Camp is full, maybe it'll fix it if I have more oxen 😮‍💨 no Quill, it's a bug, you can't magically just fix those lol

You people were not throwing spears. They were taunting the enemy.
