Hey Nas, I used the crop plots a bit for measurements, but you took it to a whole new level man. Thank you so much, really great and I'm going to use this a lot for city planning.

I just started playing a week ago and I've already restarted a few times because I have no idea wtf I'm doing. I've done a ton of research, read forums, Reddit, KZbin, etc., and you are by far the best one to explain how to do things with this game. I've been trying to figure out how to do a layout because, as I'm going along, I'm trying to think about how I want the future settlement to look overall. However, trying to figure out how to plan these buildings, including the yard I want to give each home, etc., has been a huge in the rear. This makes so much sense, and I love how you chose to explain it. I learn by hearing how it's done while watching and doing, and this is something I'm able to understand well enough to do. It'll save me so much time when trying to figure out how I want to do my settlement. While I've heard mixed feelings about certain customization options available, I have been looking for a game that has that cozy factor of building and managing, but with the open world survival aspect, too. Skyrim is my favorite game of all time, so when I saw this game was made by Bethesda, I knew it would be amazing. It's just complex and there's not a lot of information on it. So, I set the customization options to where I'd be able to play and learn the mechanics, and overall basics of it, before I try to challenge myself against in-game Mother Nature. I will be checking out the other vids on this game in particular. I can't accurately describe the giddiness and excitement I feel knowing that I'll finally be able to understand this.

[@HecticNasari]

First off, Welcome to the community. This game is a very chill game to play and doesn't really have an "End Game" like other games do. This being said, there is no need to rush. take your time, and enjoy playing and learning the game. I have over 300 videos for Medieval Dynasty many of them are Season playthroughs and Guides, all of which date back to the game's first release on Steam. All my videos are geared more toward the new player, like yourself. So, I'm sure you will find many helpful tips and tricks among them. I need to make one correction to something you said, "so when I saw this game was made by Bethesda, I knew it would be amazing". This game was Developed by Render Cube and the Publisher is Toplitz Production. You were right though, this game is amazing to play. Feel free to visit my KZbin home page and view any and all of my videos and I look forward to hearing more about your adventures. Thank you for watching and for the comment. Take Care and Happy Hunting

I like to place my buildings as the feeling hits me, but this technique would help tightening up the city planning.

[@HecticNasari]

😉👍

[@royalladybug30]

One of the things I love about this, the plots help me see whats in the way of the building I want to build. This has really helped me reduce digging up trees that I didn't need to.

[@GreenWolfDen]

At times like this, I wish there was a snap to grid option.

I've had this game for a while, but have never played for more than an hour before rage-quitting because of how dumb my village was. I'm starting a new game now. This video had a lot of tips that, while simple, kept making think "oh sh*t, that's clever". Thanks!

[@HecticNasari]

😊👍

[@SteefPip]

I love building in that area, though i tend to build closer to the creek and like squeezing it between the two roads. That spot is perfect though, close to so many towns, being close to equidistant to Gostovia and Denica is very helpful since those two towns have some of the best vendors. I love using the hill to clear cut efficiently. I'll cut a bunch of logs and when I get overburdened I drop a stack of logs and let it roll down the hill to my settlement.

[@HecticNasari]

Log rolling is great 👍. There are several areas around the map where this is helpful. As long as your village is based near the bottom.

[@katch1na]

Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

[@HecticNasari]

[@danielstamp3301]

I was placing fences to square and lay things out. Never thought of this and glad I came here as it's a good tip. Wish they would have some surveying function to determine distance and degree....

[@HecticNasari]

A survey function would be nice, but I'm glad this video helped you. Thank you for watching.

[@NannyOggins]

Great guide, it must have taken some effort to put it all together. Goldie came good again I see, she is a real gem 💎 I don’t plan my village in straight streets but for districts and never have long straight rows. I grew up in a village and that one definitely grew organically . I prefer the atmosphere that this creates. That said, its very helpful to see how to make the fields and houses line up if you wish to do that.

Is there any benefit to building a non house with better materials, stone vs wood or insulating it, such as smithy or resource building?

Insulating the work buildings does help with villager's mood.

[@mechwarrior13]

Just started game, this is helpful, similar to how i plan my towns in Banished lol as this is basically a first person version of Banished

[@BType13X2]

I'm free form with my village building the only time there is rhyme or reason is if I am building a mining camp or a lumber/ excavation camp. The only thing I did was make my cross roads running through the village first. I didn't use the fields to dictate alignment and I put sitting area's / camp area's / props to fill in little spaces.

[@HecticNasari]

I built with the sole purpose of “I need this building, I think I’ll put it over here, no here, wait maybe here.” 😀

[@dynamystic3050]

Sewing hut is messed up. At one point I really wanted them to fix it but now if they did fix it I'd have to relearn how to place it. A detriment at my age

[@briankerr4490]

Great video. Very helpful. Can you do a video on in which order you build your village

[@HecticNasari]

As far as order, the starting quest line gets you going. House, workshop, resource Storage, Hunting lodge. Beyond that make sure you have a food storage before bringing in villagers. After that it really depends on what you want from your village. Barn for crops and animal food. Animal buildings if you are going to raise animals. Fishing hut if you want to do fishing stuff. Mine if you want iron. There really isn’t a step by step building order. Basically just build what you need. You can follow any of the Series I have done to see what order I build buildings. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Nice video mate. I was just wondering with regards to build limit do they limit the amount of one build you can have (e.g multiple smithies or taverns) or are you free to have as many as you want aslong as it is with in the top build limit overall?

[@HecticNasari]

You can build as many of the same building as you would like.

[@lloydusj]

@@HecticNasari thanks that's good to know. Just starting a save and want to make a bigger town so good to see there isn't a limit in that sense

[@brent847]

I do kinda wish they had a bit more to do or discover or even a fantasy version or mod I also wish the village could be set up with a robo mayor and that you could do stuff (jobs) as needed.

[@HecticNasari]

I do like the idea of a "Message Board" or a "Job Board" where different villages could request your services/items. 👍

However right now i feel like i have changed my mind and wanted to make much more of the land im with the same loc as yours and the terrain is a problem to me h

[@HecticNasari]

Nice 😉👍

[@charlieinslidell]

It's so tedious. All this could be fixed if only they had a grid snap option.

[@94KDX]

There is a fast build option in the customise game in the pause menu

[@James_Bee]

Fast Build is just that, fast building. It has nothing to do with OPs suggestion of grid snapping. I love Enshrouded's building system. Medieval Dynasty definitely needs snapping and a grid, both of which need to be togglable.

[@HecticNasari]

[@empire_racing8258]

This is helpful and all, but what if you have a farmer?

[@HecticNasari]

Not saying this method is perfect, but you only use the faring plot to gain a layout or get straight lines. Once you have your plan laid out, you can replace the farming pots with Paths to mark future areas. This is strictly meant to be used as a tool to help a player layout their village and as long as you don't assign something to plant, the most your farmer will do is fertilize the plot.

Not sure I understand the full context behind what you are asking. I will try anyway.... Personally, I do not do much with Clay, but I do like to get to Iron which requires the Mine building built in a cave. However, it really depends on what you are wanting to do. Hope this helps.

Dude, with this much extra work during the game's era, you'd have been burned for witchcraft. Isn't the point of mediaeval times is that it's primitive, things are made out of necessity, and you improve as your dynasty grows? We aren't building the pyramids out here.

[@monkeyboy8me]

[@James_Bee]

Medieval ages came after the pyramids and math was most definitely still around. Larger cities existed and definitely had planning involved. You can wing it OR plan it. Hell, even the creator states he doesn't do this technique, but it IS useful information. Some people, can't see past their own noses.

[@a7xSkateboarding]

Americans and their grids

[@HecticNasari]

LOL, not sure if this is suppose to be a dig, but just to be clear. I as an American, typically do not build in grids. If you have watched any of my Season 1 - 6 playthroughs, you would know this. I created this guide, because of how many comments I was seeing for people wanting to know an easy way to plan their villages and "Yes" a grid pattern helps some people see the future of their village before they actually can build the planned buildings. Also, not sure making this a cultural thing is the right idea either. There are plenty of towns and cities around the world that use the grid pattern, not just America. This is because the grid pattern is a tried and true method for city planning and can be very efficient.

[@a7xSkateboarding]

@@HecticNasari I'm just fucking with you man, it's not that serious lol. But yes, your guide makes perfect sense!

[@Jake-Jake]

after playing for a while, i do not see any value in for having settlers at all...you get no XP for any of their actions...and if you can't form an army over time and take over the map it's a waste of time creating a dynasty....

[@HecticNasari]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the game. However, your statement about not getting xp from villagers is incorrect. You do get Tech points from villagers actions, however, it is much lower than if you performed the actions yourself. Now for your comment about the game being a "waste of time if you can't for an army and conquer the map". No, you can not form an army to conquer the map and the game description does not mention that you can do that either. So, it sounds like you expected something more out of this game than what was described. Will they add the ability to build an army? Probably not the devs have talked about this in a Q & A many updates back. They mentioned that the map size does not support that kind of game play and this falls along the same lines as why the game will probably never be multiplayer as well. I hope this cleared up some of your concerns and if this is not the game for you, then I wish you Happy Hunting in your search for a game that has your required expectations. 🙂
