Manor Lords Newest Update Is A HUGE Upgrade

I wish more sources of meat were added in this patch. Personally, I think chicken coops should provide a small amount, and goat sheds on par with deer. Seriously, just hides? What do you do with the rest of the body? I figure eventually we may get pigs and cows (which could also give milk/cheese). Food variety is what drives burgage upgrades not amount and in all my playthroughs meat and eggs are consistently scarce.

[@spaghettimkay5795]

The way to think about food currently is to make burbage plots self-reliant, or dedicated food production for houses. If you build a simple plot with chicken coop, you have basically guaranteed 1 food source for that house. For that reason you can use this to spam workers because they are essentially self sufficient. Once you start upgrading the plots, that's when your food supplies hurt because the closest high level house is stealing all the food for half the town.

Cheese would also be something that could be added for food variation. That salt is rare makes sense. It was quite expensive and those who had acces to it made a fortune. Something we can't imagine today. It was already precious during romans times. The latin (and also italian) word is sale. And soldiers also got payed with salt, that's where the word "salary" actualy comes from. Yeah, had to share some nerdy knowledge! 😅

[@SpeartonMan]

I had an argument in my head last day about this. That's how upset I am. Roman soldiers were NOT payed in salt. "Salarium" is "something you can spend on salt", as it was recognised that salt was important. Soldiers went to town and bought their salt there, it was not distributed by the army.

[@adanedhel985]

why add those small ponds? A large lake would make much more sense (or a river running accross entire map). And shouldn't primary instrument for fishing be a fishing net instead of a rod?

[@jointgib]

rivers would be really good

[@biggumstevens1784]

That was my first thought too...a river runs threw the map almost every single time...and its got no fish in it...yet we gotta take a tiny little pond...

[@ob1983]

Great video, I totally agree, of all things to target in an update is making the food spoil????? I think it would be good if they simply put a slider in like they did with the kings tax and that would be fine as each indiviual can choose if they want food to spoil or not. I have not played Manner Lord for a good while due to the the economy but really enjoy these updates for this and KCDII, they are world class!! Cheers :)

[@skatetime6159]

Tip for everyone who is struggeling with keeping the food stable (or always on shortage) Do in every village a full trade of - Meat - Berries - Veggies Keep it around +2 of your total house amount. Im always have 6 a 7 months of food stored without any cash loss. Just sell warbows and shields

They need to add a little jam maker for like artisan families to make berry and apple preserves. And maybe a Eel pond and geese etc. like stronghold but way way better.

[@DerekBradley-xf9oj]

From my experience fishing is a bust it either is all used or it’s spoiled before the end of fall. They should also change mining resource deposits to be similar to the farming tab to see which areas are best for mining instead of one spot with a specific amount.

[@captainjacobkeyes7804]

Fyi Trade logistics has been changed but the tooltip hasnt been updated. Instead of setting all traderoute prices to 25$ you now get a 50% discount on them. They will increase everytime you unlock a new traderoute so it can get pretty expensive. Also eggs just arent worth it. They only provide one egg per family.

I loaded an older save of my big city with a few smaller villages. Despite all my urban planning efforts, they couldn’t withstand the changes brought by the new patch. I experienced my first 'collapse' of civilization. The first failed trade between provinces-some of my food spoiled, beer suddenly 'disappeared'-and from that point on, my fate was sealed.

Honestly, it isnt that big of an update. Its still a great game but salt mines are tiny, sausages are now a thing...okay cool another food source, graphics... barely even noticed a difference, fishing ponds and crossbow.... cool. There isn't anything that's makes you want to spend another 50 hours in this game. Its still really limited in what is offered( i understand its still early access)

[@sebastianfries274]

Admittedly, this is all great but what I’d like to see most is better consistency in loading. The game is so much less fun (still really fun though) when you have to boot up a save four to ten times before it finally loads. It’s not a game breaker for me, I still enjoy it and don’t know if this is my PC or something to do with Microsoft store but if it’s not just me and on all the platforms, that should be fixed before adding more things.

[@megansimpson2014]

The upgrade of graphics have made me almost unable to play the game now, because my drivers cant handle it anymore (laptop). I know graphics are cool, but i feel.that giving graphics too much attention will hurt the low-end players who just like the mechanics, but have to deal with too much graphics that they dont particularly care

[@penknight8532]

Funny thing is that the game looks exactly the same as it did before so now the update actually lost players instead of gaining them, such as in your case.

[@penathor5950]

Good game! From my understanding this game is created by a One-man development team. Opinion , It is Better than some games that have been out for years. Please continue great work! I would like to see larger maps with more territory. Not larger regions. But larger maps with more territory to conquest. I also like the idea of having multiple towns. It works and is fun. But I would like the option to focus on a single megacity.

[@aaronhiggins986]

[@reynauldc984]

Has anybody asked about the military units just sauntering off, slowly, across country and through woods instead of moving quickly on the roads? That's something that has annoyed me from the start, since you loose a big portion of your work force once you task them with taking out a bandit camp two provinces away.

Sometimes I wished Manor Lords could be like Anno 1800, and the other Anno games, where you have your own lands, and you settle in a coast, you can have a dock, make ships, explore untouched lands or conquer someone's lands, but I think you as a Lord can't do it 🤔 I'm not too sure about it, but Manor Lords is the game I always wanted, the developer condensed it, made it smaller, you're not a king, so you won't conquer other kingdoms, you're a small lord village, you could claim other villages, other lords around you, but the fact it's AI, makes me less interested, I think, I truly believe, Manor Lords could work way better if it was COOP, I think we should be able to play with friends, not multiplayer tho, I think it would be for a sequel idk if the dev will do it...but if it was co-op and you could bring the OG AoE players together to play in Manor Lords, and grind to become a strong Village, and fight with a large army, imagine 2vs2 games, 2vs2 with AI, and a goal, Manor Lords is enjoyable, when you play a full week, get everything done and you realize you finished the game, you feel empty, like there's nothing much else to do, I wished Manor Lords didn't feel like stuck in time, that there could be some progression of time, Lord dying and you play with his son, you notice the old people, and next generation, the buildings looking more older, rusty and needing improvements, and even upgrades to the look of the buildings, some stuff are stuck in time, it could be interesting to see some of those medieval technology of the past in Manor Lords getting upgraded, like someone invented a new thing and the king bought and some villages will acquire it and use it, people needing to get knowledge of it, to be honest I think the game should have more interaction with the villagers, like you see their stats, traits, so you could use them to make the village better, also about military weaponry, medieval weapons, walls, fortified walls, it could be nice to be able to use it in the game with freedom, but weren't a King, it might be realistic we can't do a lot and make the king angry, and there's also something I could like to see, bigger maps with bigger regions, definitely more AI in it, but it could be cool if there's a map where our main village is close to the king's kingdom, maps with the sea, islands, and a mode to explore outside lands like Anno 1800, but if this is not getting added, it's alright, Manor Lords might be the game I always waited, but it may not be the game they didn't want to do to satisfy myself, I always thought Manor Lords could be that game, it's beautiful looking, I love the buildings getting built, the nature, all that feeling, but the game I always wanted had some time progression, ages pass, you follow the evolution of medieval times until the last kingdoms, the beginning of the new era, and stuff like that, but with a realistic look, I hope that in the future they make this game, Anno, Ostriv, Manor Lords, Ancient Cities, all those tried...
