Manor Lords: Trying To Understand Inter-Regional Trade!

Today, we're continuing a multi-video journey on which we will be building historically accurate and authentic city designs in Manor lords, a highly anticipated city-building game! I will explain how the game works as I play and explain some historical details as we go!
Manor Lords on Steam: store.steampow...
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.

To be honest - I still don't quite understand whether I am trading with my regions - spending money internally only - or with foreign traders that take my money away. If you got any thoughts, let me know!

[@catplane2521]

I think the Packing Station is for internal trading.

[@berndepauw4932]

I think they payed internally, as gretchelein took the sheep your region wealth went down by 20, not sure, could have been another purchase. Also I think you will be able to upgrade the tavern after an update as you have apples for cider and honey for mede, probably there isn’t a model for it yet, we will have to see later I guess 😅

[@sdv4675]

i do think buying sheep from outside your own region would make sense for biodiversity and preventing inc*st sheep.

[@theorixlux]

I don't understand. Is interregion trading exclusive to livestock? Exclusive to unpurchased trade routes? Edit NVM! Your hesitation when buying roof tiles answered my question!

[@nealjroberts4050]

For internal trade you want the Pack Station. No coinage but it it moves goods around between settlements.

[@bernardosantiago9615]

You named it St. George and the 23rd of April is St. George's day, which is the day you uploaded the video! Nice!

[@fueyo2229]

Yess, It's the patron of Catalonia!

From what I've read, Charcoal Burners weren't close to rivers only for fire safety. They were close to rivers because charcoal becomes basically unusable VERY quickly when transported over ground. It's extremely brittle, a small jostle in the wagon will turn it to dust. Much better to transport it by water.

[@melissaharris3389]

It's not _that_ brittle. It, like other brakeable goods, would be packed in straw; and you can still sell broken charcoal. Clay tiles can't be used if broken (they can be ground into grog for pottery) but were still transported overland if required. You put any industry near water transport if able as it's faster, cheaper, and can carry larger loads than overland. We still do that today.

[@yeetthatmolotov]

whats really interesting is I can see a modern german city growing out of your region, with a big castle on a mountain and places like st georgen, coseritz, markhohenfeld and lehmdorf becoming city districts

[@asamonson4584]

Use a development point on trade. One of the options makes opening a new trade route only 25 silver. Instead of the 600+ it currently cost you for tiles.

[@Seppi1310]

I am really impressed by this playthrough, it finalized my decision to buy this game because you showed that a historically accurate approach really works out and besides from the castle/wall planning you really don't have to cheese your way through abusing the mechanics. At 10:00 I have to say though that I think historically speaking you wanted to remove all trees surrounding your castle by a very very large radius to deny approaching enemies any possible cover or hiding spots

[@jacobl1657]

One note for your walled city. In order to maximize space within the walls, one can run a road around where the walls will go. Then when planning the wall, you can use the road as a marker on placement. Either keep the road or delete to fill in with buildings before the wall is built

[@springolo86]

I've been looking for ideas for creating historically reliable villages for a week but all I managed to find were vintage versions of modern cities: straight streets regardless of the landscape, functional but unrealistic positioning of buildings, etc. Then, yesterday, I stumbled upon your channel and, in one go, I watched this series. Spectacular! Compliments! You enhance entertainment with teaching! I hope you will make new ones.

[@jarlnils435]

This city looks like an anglosaxon Town, not as organized as a Burh but walled and with church. A very fine Tun

[@spamfilter32]

Fantastic build. Hopefully the trade system gets some love after launch. Also hope the wall builder gets some attention. I hope the castle builder gets a chapel building included as they were common inside castles. I also hope the walls become palisades rather than stay as fences.

[@1992zorro]

a lot of work to be done for sure for the developer

[@Animus1539]

One quick point about crop rotation- I believe it would make more sense to alternate the fallow years between the fields so that there is always at least two fields producing crops.

[@MrSqueasil]

I cannot wait until i get my hands on this game, however, I also cannot wait to see what you can do with the full build of the game.

[@YoJesusMorales]

I think that 5:48 is a chupacabra, lol.

[@NipapornP]

I guess, it's just a leftover from the drought!

[@piervail]

A very nice town indeed. I wonder if some day we will be able to build cobblestone roads?

[@ggghvv9937]

Maybe they add paving the streets in the future

[@russell7995]

About this series - really enjoying your designs and historical contexts which you have been providing; will make playing the game (as of Friday) far more enjoyable!!!

[@the13inquisitor59]

5:55 Looks like there're giant mosquitos coming down and sucking the sheeps' innards out until there's just a deflated skin left. No wonder the region turns out warbows like they're going out of fashion.

[@owendarragh1396]

Another One Proud Bavarian Manor Lords video, another good day!

[@Killersanchez256]

Amazing series I love how you incorporate history. It would be nice if in the next series you set it in Silesia.

[@Seppi1310]

I think that the first bottom trading development perk should be chosen for every holding where you consider to do serious trading. Cheap trade routs can snowball really quickly I think

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Very enjoyable playthrough and narrative, @OPB - Thank you :) I appreciated the history lessons and use of such to drive the different village and town designs - This will help me to get a lot more out of the game and indeed do some further research myself 🍻

[@Andre_7791]

Nachdem ich gestern auf meinem Tablett die letzten Folgen schaute, bin ich jetzt extra an den PC (wegen Login), um den Daumen Hoch da zu lassen. Bester Manor Lords Kommentator im Netz. Lerne hier sehr viel. Hochachtung für das Super-Englisch für einen Bayern!

[@Fluwufy]

first, but seriously i love these videos im so excited for this game and what a great playthrough! I had to subscribe

[@nasalekausalitat]

Sau praktisch, jeden Tag hatte ich etwas eher Schicht, und so ziemlich jeden Tag kam das video ebenfalls eher raus, so das meine Pause die letzten 7 Tage entspannter nicht hätte sein könn xd

[@ekisnaar]

Please keep the local retinue upgraded, I need my Schlenkerla supply steady.

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

I think you need a stable to not have the horses run away

[@apfelkindch3528]

st.georgen is a district/quater in the swiss town St.Gallen (name comes from monastary St.Gallen, wich was named after the founder of the monastery, the holy St.Gallus (The Bear conqueror)

[@JuergenGDB]

Reminds me of a town I once constructed for DnD near Proskur, Forgotten Realms. :)

[@eldolly]

I think it will be a good idea to set taxes and increase the size and upgrade your retinue

[@mell_fromtheoldgods]

please make one last video of just you walking aroung the regions

[@arizali_]

Thank you :) I will start to play as soon as it released thanks to you :)

[@Filippenzen413]

3 days left😮😮😮

[@INFJ-ThaneTr]

Personally, i wall in my entire town/village when I've set it up to a point storehouses won't over fill and everything self sustains and I'm ready to start in a new region because since it locks out management of buildings and offers enough defense from raiders it basically makes me done, just make sure to keep a trader outside of it to micro such along with mules

5:45 One Proud Bavarian discovers the shire built for Pan their guardian and protector all bow before Pan!

[@slymonkeyinc20]

You're the only streamer I've seen who seems to understand that tanneries smell terrible. I#ve seen so many other playthroughs where people put tanneries really central but that's the worst idea! Even if people in the past weren't as technologically advanced they were still sophisticated enough to not want to live in actual animal matter

[@Solmyr77]

OPB way too excited about trading sheep in this video! 😁

[@mystic_9734]

If my understanding is right 6 units can be recruited at first, and then retinues can exceed the cap. If you hire 6 militia then get the retinues you should be able to get an even larger army

[@axelander9397]

It would be cool if you could rework plots So if your city grows, you could build new houses in the big backyards of the old ones

[@mavida8138]

If you make a city in your next map, then maybe build the houses with small or without an garden. So it is more like a big city that is really busy. Maybe city center and from there houses with slightly larger gardens.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Warbows and helmets for sales. Ps plate armour is ridiculously cheap there. Irl was worth as much as small towns

[@Eagle-kp7fx]

MORE, BEFORE THE RELEASE

[@sandboxie97]

blessed be saint George

[@raymondkay4896]

ora pro nobis

[@groupvucic2235]

St. George is the patron of Moscow, so the town should've been named Moscow.

[@uli5000]

Southeast from Eisenach towards the Rennsteig is the small town of Georgenthal. It's a real place ☺️

[@jayaltairi]

I visited Eisenach during a semester abroad at Uni Erfurt, we decided to hike some of the northern section of the Rennsteig and stopped at the Wartburg castle for a beer and a rostbratwurst before hitting the trail 🤣

[@spacedoutkami8144]

Can you export the sheep from the sheep hamlet? That would make your coffers endless!

[@ggghvv9937]

Imagine playing this game from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and so on.

[@marksutcliffe6355]

I think some of the systems in this game could really bring that concept into possibility. I know it's out of the scope of Manor Lords, but imagine combining it with a Civ like tech-tree and even having game pace settings from quick to epic scale to control how quick time goes by.

[@admiralgalactica]

Mommmmm the Bavarian dropped another video i have to watch it!

[@NoFunNoMoshNoCoreNoTrends]

I hate how when you place a field the area gets automatically deforested. You could abuse it and place fields and demolish them just to remove forest.

[@ekisnaar]

As enjoyable as Manor Lords is, we still expect a proper CK3 RP campaign in three day time.

[@aapjeaaron]

OPB, did you expect the livestock animal trading post needed animals to transport them? This isn't the Bremer Stadtmusikanten.

[@qatsi4897]

If you create new agricultural fields, does that also mean that you suddenly have a large supply of wood? Because the trees disappear.

[@kvauragod]

This feels like Medieval Dynasty on heavy steroids except the Dynasty part. Been waiting for EA for so long!

[@inperatieloos]

I know you love the trees next to your fortification but should the priority of such a building be to have sightlines to all the important holdings? Enemies would be able to get way too close to the fort walls this way

[@shinyan5844]

no stables for the horsies and the trade implemented is so you dont have to pay extra for the imports

[@riffzifnab9254]

I think the walled city being inaccessible is a bug. The dev must be aware of motte and baileys.

[@goodbanter4427]

Blessed feast day of St. George everyone! A fitting upload day!

[@radugherman8026]

The Dev should really allow us to build fortifications for towns and villages freely, just limit the level of them.

[@bigorna4875]

Is one pround Bavarian, one pround FRANCONIAN?

[@TheBestPirateDrake]

Was the incompatible saves something that was said officially?

[@MortalGlare]

it was, he mentioned it a few videos ago that he had talked directly with the dev and he mentioned it. Though I assume it's somewhere in an official announcement too

About the horse, do you have a hitching post for it? ...just troubleshooting...

[@livigy]

I wonder what happens if you build on your borders? can you set up say 3 villages next to each other, but in separate regions to make a big city?

[@wasfureinbua]

again very good video

[@ram64man]

personally after seeing just what this game is, there are still a ton to be done, so I'm going to skip early access, there should be more sources of meat including sheep and have the ability to unlock cattle farming, which can be milked as well as the beef. part of me also wants to see the wildlife attacking if left to breed or attacking sheep etc,

[@JuergenGDB]

I wonder if you will be able to upgrade the roads to some sort of stone or more... I mean if the Romans could do it...

[@TheBonzobonzo]

nice history!

[@MrBlueBurd0451]

I just want to expand your english vocabulary: The word for a wooden wall like the ones you have is 'palisade'. Pronounced 'Pali-sayde'.

[@drillboyjenkins5740]

You can see that the sheep trade is 20 both ways, I believe it is purely domestic in your case (unlike the other living stock with +10 import fee). Then I watched further... oh well. That's sort of sad.

[@AhoInger]

5:37💀

[@Alpha_Digamma]

I do love you have to specialize settlements.

[@minerfox5208]

getting near to the 100k

[@cauereis2064]

Will the early acess release have more features than this build you playing or it will be the same?

[@Alpha_Digamma]

Since saves won't be compatible, there will be some kind of update.

[@capt5656]

pfft, if those prices are correct selling 4 iron slabs pays for a set of plate armour that would otherwise require 8 to produce yourself.

It's NEVER better to ask forgiveness than permission. I've never met a decent person who held that belief; it has always been held by selfish, horrible turds pretending to be human.

[@liamjohnson2474]

I think you need to use Pack Stations to trade between regions, not trade routes.
