You may have noticed by now but the herbalist hut while an extraction building needs someone with survival skill :) Herbert the Herbalist is perfect!

[@SPerani]

Loved this series. The town IS looking amazing honestly. Greetins from Argentina!

[@Kysen]

Really glad you like it and thank you very much for the Super Thanks :) You are my first ever Argentinian donator!

@@Kysen ngl, the first episode popped Up in some random try not to laugh like 2 days ago and got so invested i caught Up to the series jajajaja. Trully enjoyed this, Hope you had an amazing trip to HK!

Personally, I accept micro-management as part of the game. The herbalist hut is a good example, I change what they do at the start of every season which becomes second nature after a couple of years. Mushrooms in their season get turned into mushroom soup which most of the time gets sold 'cause I don't think my villagers are that keen on it. Collect a lot of berries in summer which when not consumed by me or in the later game when you have the Tavern being turned into berry juice and then berry wine, provide lots of compost. Winter time is spent making potions from all the other stuff the herbalist collects. If I don't use them myself, they get sold or collected up for sale for the other good late game money making thingy, the market stalls. But to each their own. Cheers.

[@NannyOggins]

I totally agree The first thing I do each season change is set the number of days for the following season, then set the gather items for the herbalist.

[@mikevanderveen2509]

Really nice video’s, bcs of you my city is going pretty good. Keep doing what you do and greetings from the netherlands

[@Kysen]

Thank you very much, glad you're enjoying the series. I appreciate the Super Thanks, some Euros for me to take with me when I travel to Europe in June! :D

It's 1:06 AM in Sri Lanaka, I saw the notification for the video, but it was already too late and I needed to wake up at 5.00 AM to go to the gym. I tried but I couldn't sleep so I came back to my laptop and watched the entire video. Now I can sleep in peace and happily. Thank you for the amazing video, can't wait for the tomorrow video.

[@Kysen]

haha well gym should be a priority over my videos, I'd much rather people made healthy choices than watch me :) So well done for getting up and going!

[@TyrantPHY]

@@Kysen Thanks to that video I was able to sleep calmly, relaxed and happily. That helped me to wake up and go to the gym. So again Thank you for the amazing video.

[@FrankSancisco]

You could buy the rye from the farming merchant at the fishing village, Ostoya. She came in handy during my second year when I needed extra fertilizer and manure for my farms. Similarly the forest hamlet of Klonica has an herbalist and the mining town of Skauki has a cook, which may help in other quests. That's on top of the fish/wood/hunting/mining merchants that are apropo to each.

[@Thromash]

I found your channel a week or two ago? Came across you playing it & thought I'd give you ago & well here we are. Been really enjoying the series & am happy to finally find someone I enjoy watching who plays this game & doesn't just drop it a week or two later. Which unfortunately tends to happen quite a lot with games I like lol Videos have been really helpful too as I haven't bought or played the game yet but will sooner or later & I'm certainly going to do a lot better than I would have without you & this community lol

[@Kysen]

Glad you're enjoying the series, thank you for subscribing :) I hope you'll enjoy the game when you play it, I'm sure you will :)

[@Thromash]

@@Kysen I'm sure I will just as I am that it will be in part thanks to you & your series. The game as quite a lot of potential going forward to it will be good to see what happens & if/how they continue to expand it.

[@stevenhawk7626]

I love the little things in this game like the donkey and horse showing affection. It is great how the npcs do things that reflect reality.

[@lizvanwessem2055]

I think its def worth getting your herbalist to collect Parasol Mushrooms, Pine Mushrooms and Boletol (orhoweveritspelled) mushrooms - not the bitter ones, just the normal ones. They make a nice mushroom stew thing that also includes meat, and if for some reason, they don't use them, then they break down into rot so that's easy. :) BTW you def need to grow cabbage for fertiliser. I haven't bought fertiliser for ages. In fact, I've got the stuff coming out me ears! Berries also make for good rot and then fertiliser. I've got about 10 compost bins around the place - I store fertiliser in them after turning rot into fertiliser (and now of course I've got pigs and a donkey there's manure coming in.... ye gods!)

[@T_WC123]

Thank you for this series!! I subscribed this weekend because I wanted to play the game but was struggling with it (I’m older and not a gamer) so I watch your videos to learn and also get a preview of what I can look forward to since my own progress is so very slow. I like how your organized your videos, how you narrate it, the pace/editing of your game play, and you just have a nice warm friendly tone to your voice. I listen to these videos while I play and it’s nice!

[@Kysen]

Thanks for subscribing :) Really appreciate your kind words and it's always nice to know when my work is appreciated and enjoyed. I hope you'll have a really fun playthrough! :)

[@annajohnson8124]

I started watching this your channel with this series about 2 weeks ago after I finally bought Medieval Dynasty and was looking up gameplay tips. I'd had it on my watchlist for steam for a while before it came out, but waited until I could see user reviews. And after Oxbow came out, there was an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. So far, your gameplay has helped me a lot with my setup. Although I don't get as much time to play, so I'm still in the first year and only just got my first villager. As far as quests go, you've been lucky. My first couple trips to the quest board only had difficult quests, like hunt 10 foxes, or hunt 5 wolves. If I had to make any suggestions so far, it's listen to what the NPCs say in passing sometimes. The voice acting and script writing for them is really well done.

[@Kysen]

Glad I could help and that you're enjoying the series, thanks for the tip :)

[@pamelamacaraeg5623]

I got this game when it was in the beginning stages, and it’s amazing to see all the new updates! I am busy in school and watch your videos to indulge myself when I can’t game - during my study breaks of course! Thanks for the series and making me sane during the semester :D

[@ArcticValkyrie]

If you want a little boost in coins and aren't above stealing, there are several expensive gift-type items in Mirogod's house in Piastovia--it's the big fancy one. He's almost never in it, so no one will see you take them. You will have to travel to another town to sell them, but you can probably get around 2000 coins for them. It took me a while to figure this out, but you can assign the traveler NPCs you hire to any job related to a skill they have a 3 in and they will be happy. If they have 3 in both farming and survival, they will be happy doing either one. Sometimes you have to ask them about their skills 2 or 3 times, but they will eventually tell you they like both. This should help your search for villagers! As for the Herbalist hut, I usually accept changing it each season. I harvest up the broadleaf plantain and I think dandelion in spring and hoard it until winter for potion making, then split between berries and nightshade in summer. The berries can be used in porridge, but I usually put them in the compost bin for fertilizer. In fall I set it to the three kinds of mushrooms for mushroom soup, and then compost the rest. During winter I then set the herbalist to making healing potions and poisons so they aren't sitting idle.

[@Kysen]

Stealing could be a fun episode actually! Stealing and bandit hunting maybe! Thanks for the tip :) That's good to know about happiness and skills, thank you!

[@MJ-kc8iz]

You probably don't need so many flowers or the nightshade, and really only a little St. John's wort in case you get food poisoning. I concentrate mostly on berries when they are in season because you get a LOT, and you can compost them into rot for fertilizer. I also like to keep a healthy supply of plantain on hand for when hunting encounters with wolves or wisent go horribly wrong. Mushrooms would probably be good in the berry off season, but I don't have many recipes that use them. Still a fantastic series, thank you for all the work you put into it!

[@vexhex5443]

Same as the others , found this channel while looking for oxbow vids and helpful tips. This came up so binged throught till i caught up around episode 20. Struggling with anxiety at the moment so this helping me to focus on something else. Also one tip you can sleep in the town you start in just go back to the surgeons hospital i guess u call it and u can sleep in the bed you first wake up in. I also tend to make a campfire just outside a town if i just need sleep till the next day for a quest. Some of the quests are hilarious recommend looking for them.

[@peachrosebud]

I love how well the name Herbert fits the job of Herbalist! It was meant to be lol A tip that might be useful for adding more villagers: under the diplomacy tab in the skill tree, you can upgrade the diplomat skill (if you haven’t already) and it increases the amount of dynasty reputation you gain from interactions. I’m not sure if it works as well for quests, but it may be worth looking at! I’m loving this series! I’ve been watching it daily since the first video and it has become part of my morning routine lol, keep up the great work!

[@TeracomConsulting]

I go for Nightshade all summer, then the other seasons making poison. Poison applied to arrows increases their sell price from 5 - 10 coins each.

[@achillllllles]

For the mushrooms, if you are looking to make soup or potions it's needed, but I just use them for rot xD. Keep up the good work bud!

[@Kysen]

Thanks mate :)

[@fastestflexer2383]

can you make an episode where you hunt some animals that you haven’t. thank you in advance great series so far ❤

During the winter does Herbert go into herbalization?

Haha 😁

[@rakumanqq]

hey bro, regarding the herbalist hut, just make a few healing potions for now (for personal use, they dont sell that good), it will really come in handy later, after you unlock the tavern, because it can make something from mead and some mushrooms that sells pretty good (potion of something, sry i forgot the name). good luck and happy travel buddy !!

[@thorwaldhrodgerson6220]

Thanks!

[@Kysen]

Thank you for the support, much appreciated 🙂

[@xxkatiexx6912]

You definitely need to have the herbalist gathering mushrooms as they get used for most of the potions as well as used in the cooking hut x

[@Kysen]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@tofu4555]

You can also use photo mode to check if you buildings is align before you place it

[@Kysen]

great idea! Thanks :)

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

Herbalist is for me the worst designed building .. you have to change the workload every season which is a pain. Also in autumn you should mostly focus on mushrooms as they can be used in the kitchen and as rot when you have too much. Hope you’re having a great time in Hong Kong

[@Kysen]

Thanks for the tips. Hong Kong has been awesome, I fly home later today :)

[@minibrownliger]

I'm not big on the changing tasks every season, especially because there is no slider for it. That would be a huge quality of life improvement for the game. On my current play through, I haven't built a herbalist hut at all, because I find it too tedious changing the tasks, and don't want to waste worker efficiency.

[@animeminder1]

Love your vids thanks would you be able to make a series of Sengoku Dynasty please ?

not sure about that because I have a lot of upcoming games

This series has been going on for so long and is so great,I'm afraid we are nearing the end. Any plans for after? Maybe a quicker Hardcore playthrough? Or challenges(Getting 1k,10k the quickest. Or how much can you generate in a year.)

There's some life left in it yet :) And I do have some other MD videos planned too :)

[@NannyOggins]

Yup I joined the channel because you are featuring this great game. You often make different choices than I would which makes it more interesting. I hate streams because of the constant interruptions from viewers and the replies from the streamer so game play is premium watching for me. Say hi to Hong kong for me I had a great week there a decade ago, bought some lovely jade from Kowloon too. Personally I would love hour long episodes, less than half an hour is too little Kysen for my day! 😊
