ManorLords Is Growing... And FAST

[@ResonantRTS]

I am working with the Developers For Manor lords to do a "Future Q+A" so any questions about the game for the future please reply to this comment and I will send them to Slavic Magic!

[@cartercazenave6352]

Do they plan on doing multiplayer and if so how long can we expect to wait?

[@chuttitboy3322]

1. Will the game feature additional AI Lords in the future, and if so, what is the anticipated timeframe for their introduction? 2. Are there plans to expand the in-game food and commodity systems? Specifically, are there any intentions to: * Introduce new food processing mechanics, such as transforming apples into cider as an alternative to ale, thereby introducing a new entertainment option? * Incorporate a system for preserving fish, such as salting, to significantly reduce the spoilage rate? 3. Will the game feature castles as playable structures, and if so, will this include a robust siege warfare system? Specifically, are there plans to implement various siege engines such as battering rams, trebuchets, siege towers, ballistas, catapults, and other historically accurate siege weaponry? 4. Are there any plans to introduce new campaign maps to the game in the future?

[@smthsmth]

In 2025 needs: more advanced dipomacy with rivals, AI towns, more nuanced battles and war system, castle building and sieges. + diseases, disasters, random events would be nice, like peasants petitioning their lord for something.

[@mh7711]

will there be more than 3 house types to develop with more needs and more experience-points?

[@EliasGellman]

What will the future fortification system and or stronghold system be like?

[@christianguerrero9239]

We need legit stone castles

[@wyattwelton8599]

they are acting like you're demanding, I think they are all wonderful ideas if they can find the time to do any of them!

[@overtale4516]

Needs cavalry

[@RobEurope]

I love the game, but scattered small improvements that would amount to maybe 1 real update in a year is not exactly growing fast.

[@ArrogantJaevel]

I really hope the next thing will be AI towns. The developers have already stated if people stop asking for changes on core mechanics like trade etc they will start to implement new features. Adding two additional maps did not bring anything really new to the game besides letting you build a new town for the 100 time in a beautiful location.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

When a game is tremendously overhyped because of its graphics only, I think it will never live up to expectations.

[@Imperator666]

I loved it, but i’m waiting for stone castles and knights

[@trolltalwar]

There are knights

[@Imperator666]

@ mounted and fully armoured knights? If so i haven’t seen any mention of them yet

[@trolltalwar]

@@Imperator666 mounted units are not in the game yet. Retainers are knights

[@Imperial_Legacy]

I hope 2025 will be great for Manor Lords! We need: Cavalry, children (all people in the village are adults) and city walls or castles would be great as well!

When I have some disposible income I will get this, I was hyped for a long time but never pulled the trigger, it is sometimes better to wait for a game to be more finished :)

[@sammy_117]

Only thing that sucks right now will probably be fixed soon in the river map just isn't playable rn cause of bugs

[@jonathanvanstensel6564]

I agree that the economy is pretty solid. Better management of town to town trading and some bug fixes and it will be excellent.

[@monarchtherapsidsinostran9125]

Gonna be honest i would like much bigger maps with more regions down the line. If they are going to add castles, and city walls that implies siegeworks of even a small degree. So i would request bigger maps to have the big walled city be supported by neighboring regions. This wouldn't be a big bad hard thing to do in my opinion. Especially with how good the game runs as of now. Like its literally seemless, and extremely solid to run. You could allow for bigger maps with bigger battles, and everything. Simple.

[@cryptic-s7o]

All these updates are worthless without on map ai, need to focus on that first

[@SirWarkwark]

Makeing a functional AI, understandably, might be too complex at the moment, but multiplayer? Build neigbouring towns with your frinds? Could be fun. End goal is to take over the lands of each other or Hildbrand's army must be stoped by a joint venture? Just balling spit here

[@jeanfrancois5188]

man, I hope the devs do what they see fit and not cater to the whiney brats on the internet. Go play a live update game if you want a steady stream of new content.

[@infomolerat]

@@jeanfrancois5188 amen 🙏

[@trolltalwar]

Thank you for this statement. Im tired of insufferable zoomer gamers.

[@dumbyboi-c1d]

hey so I found the winding rivers map to be suuuuper buggy in terms of units and movement. I found my units stopping for no reason, not moving when told, and getting stuck on or near bridges. Obviously that's in the unstable beta build, but it's something to note

[@jprtm7h]

Stone Castels and building stone walled citys would be awesome!

[@andreimdv661]

I used bridges as a bottleneck, for me they work perfectly with troops or villagers

[@Gotoemole]

Anyone that like the medieval settings, I strongly recommend trying kingdom come deliverance, bannerlord and wartales

[@bay0r]

would be nice to have more individual buildings and maybe buildings without a garden. focus on the town / city building capabilities for more individual playthroughs

[@EchteSauerkartoffel]

We need ai towns, castles and multiplayer. While that is on the way they can keep the game alive with small updates like riverfishing, vineyards, cavalry units, cows and larger stables.

[@LukaBago]

Everything but multiplayer... This game is not meant to be a multiplayer game.

[@arturoroldan4839]

@@LukaBago Yep. people is obsessed wiht "multiplayer" in this game but.....why? Because of the combat? Who on Earth would play against someone for 24 hours straight until you get a really good city?

[@robinshood6530]

I'm sure the developer could relatively easily make this a multiplayer and single player experience. And even if it was just for the combat, make a strictly military game mode. Either way, the main theme of this game is city-building and I'm sure he probably plans on keeping it that way. But I'm all for castle building. I also think terraforming would be cool. To be able to make moats or terraform small hills to build your manor on so it's overlooking your city with winding streets and buildings, all surrounded by city walls

[@dougm3037]

Less aggressive King's tax and more information on map topography so your troops can acquire high ground.

[@christonchev9762]

i bought it on Steam and i like it but for now am waiting for them to add some new futures like more skills cause 80% of them are still locked for dev

[@rezkydonnyputranto4232]

i feel like it need some sort of progression starting from the village to small town with proper military. It kinda defeat the purpose of the manor lord, but idk what else

[@VermillionCrocodilian]

it all ready has that from day one essentially. and combat is not the main focus of the game last i checked.

[@rezkydonnyputranto4232]

@VermillionCrocodilian not really, no matter how much your village progress. It would still be a village, not a town. After a couple of hour playing, there's essentially nothing more to do.

[@VermillionCrocodilian]

@@rezkydonnyputranto4232 you are playing a different game from me then, ive usualy got one region i funnel every thing too and its got over 500 or so people liveing in it, back in the day that would of been considered a pretty sizeable town

[@Urbanhandyman]

I recently purchased and played Manor Lords for a couple of days. It has "good potential" but feels incomplete. I feel it's currently a 6 out of 10 product. I'd like to see map movement improved. The controls are currently rather clunky and I keep accidentally zooming out to the large-scale "world" map. I found that after the initial rush to not run out of funds, about an hour or so, I would end up with 200 population and the desire to play the game faded away. It became too repetitious at that point. I'll play it again after a couple of major upgrades are announced. Perhaps in a year?

[@johnjohn3668]

As a xbox player, im still waiting for it to be announced

[@FeralMess]

Few more years of active development and "Manor Lords" will be able to compete somehow with "Stronghold Crusader" from year 2002.

[@esh768]

and dungeon hunting like some fantasy with guilds and all

[@gwalon2089]

I think the peaks map is a little unbalanced with the current state of the game. I was able to completely beat Hildebolts armies by just trading, taxing and buying mercenaries from my money, since it only took 2 battles, before even having 1 level 3 burgage plot.

[@TheMatlemon]

the Alpha patch not even ready ....

[@OlavSchneider]

Are these maps any good for multiplayer?

[@marcusvalerius7663]

Maps with rivers sould have have no fish ponds and be able to fish on the rivers maybe add a upgrade where they fish with nets maybe even on boats!. And maps with no rivers sould have the fishponds!.

I got a feeling Greg is going to do a runner and not finish the game

[@VermillionCrocodilian]

considering how the community has kinda rail roaded his passion project, i wouldnt blame him. people keep moaning and growning at him over things that arent nearly as important as actually finishing the game, lot of theupdate sive seen involed economy things, that and people seem to refuse the idea that combat in the game is not the focus.

[@F33bs]

I love the game, but the early access has been kind of a mess. So much basic QoL missing, no major feature additions. I don't understand how they can fumble like this when the basics of the game are so promising.

[@toddblankenship7164]

sold well but was a very much flash in the pan game. only 7k average players and that's up due to the winter sale. For me I always wait to see if there's substance and replayablity. If i cant get 1500 hours + im not interested personally.

[@VermillionCrocodilian]

the game released as an alpha. its no where near done, and 1500 hours from a one developer game is asking for a lot.

[@toddblankenship7164]

@@VermillionCrocodilian 1500 is alot? its alot and maybe 500 to a 1000 is a more realistic goal but I have that and more in Oxygen not included, Rim world, close to 1000 in farming simulators(each), 1000 in Space engineers, total warhammer3 1500, Battlefields since 3 1500 in each. its really not that hard when you make a good game with replayability. not to mention the many games i have 500 hours in ie: cityskylines, Civ 6 etc

[@VermillionCrocodilian]

@@toddblankenship7164 those games are completyely different as far as gameplay type and focus. Oxygen not included gives you 40 different ways to cool,heat, produces energy, accidentally hurt, and destroy in your asteroid base. this game is just " build a functioning medevil settlement and do a little bit of combat that actually has consequences". those goames are all much much more complex than this one will ever be. What players should be supporting with their money on this game is a developer who clearly loves this project. help the dev improve the game, and when it is done or the develoiper decides to move on to another. show them that this type of game but grander in scope is what people want. this is not a game to buy expecting a feature rich Multi developer project but rather one persons passion project that is more of a very well developed proof of concept/genre builder. thius dev is doing a lot of fairly unique things such as bringing in the realism side.

[@Madness-iwnl]

I like the game, but I still need PVP and a more medieval look environment (being able to build forts, castles), as well as having more lore and different kind of villages based on the character and colors you choose. Hopefully they add all of these soon.

[@trolltalwar]

This is arguably the most accurate medieval game ever made, especially in terms of architecture. How exactly can it have a more medieval look?

[@JHattsy]

I just wish they would have combat be a bit more interactable, it feels too hands off right now imo.

[@ex0stasis72]

I tried it on PC Game Pass, and as a non-fan of this genre, it still felt meh to me. It felt like an extremely paired down version of Anno 1800 but with some novel new ideas that felt unfinished, which, of course, it was unfinished.
