My First Year - MANOR LORDS: Episode 1

[@TheGerudan]

American: "Let's build a medieval village!" Also American: Immediately starts to build a City block.

[@SteelWalrus]

Just wait till we hillbillies get our hands on it. We haven't got any straight roads here.

[@Francis_I-1805]

It's hard to believe one dev was able to make this game when comparing it to the failures of larger studio games like cities skylines 2

[@davidstansbury9309]

Apparently, he just contracted out most of the work, 3D animations and such. It's a pretty brilliant business model.

[@Etaoinshrdlu69]

​@@davidstansbury9309You still have to know what you are doing.

[@stzawadzki]

​@@davidstansbury9309 IIRC he started by himself, only when the hype became obvious (he once stated he was counting on 7k wishlists and it's 3m now) he started contracting out some work. Also he still needs to manage the game flow and it seems to be done spot on.

[@ulyssesgrant4324]

Well Games, like Minecraft are being forced to give out small updates by the parent company and or the parent companying Pushing games out, like EA. Rockstar is a good example of waiting, we waited eight years for RDR2, and it was perfect.

[@rocksjoshua]

I wouldn't consider CS2 a failure, it has its flaws for sure but with mods coming in and more content starting to flow, in a year it will be a true successor to CS1 imo.

[@Alexs.2599]

Yes! I was hoping Chris would play this.

[@abelreyna8781]

Starting out with a grid layout like a good American lol.

[@sebastianliebmann6014]

lmao i literally had the same exact sentence in mind

[@GregMcNeish]

This game is absolutely gorgeous. I could definitely see myself getting hooked for that reason alone, and that's on top of being what appears to be a pretty solid city builder.

[@gianlucapinelli6807]

Great video once again VTH.

[@RealStreetPA]

Can't wait for more videos on this game, looks extremely intriguing.

[@dougm3037]

Storage and granary should be built straight away IMO. This prevents food and goods being at the mercy of the elements. Also the tools possibly may not have been stolen if they had been locked away in a storgae hut.

[@FastwayIndustries]

Sending love from Gettysburg pa hahah hope you liked it💪 enjoyed the episode i hope you keep playing this, definitely earned my subscription 💪

[@GettysburgLentz]

The game is so beautiful that I would spend time just watching my village exist. I love how you incorporated a grid system. Each content creator has brought something different to the playing of this game. With your history focus this should be even more interesting than the conventional gamer.

[@jpbroadwater]

No disrespect intended but it's nice to see an older gamer (like me!). I like your style of presenting and explaining things

[@bishop6218]

Your Lord moves like Ezio Auditore, he probably could deal with the bandit camp by himself 😂

[@meeeptheconqueror6759]

My guy, keep on doing this please.

[@pizzaman6784]

I was hoping you would play Manor Lords, I love watching your videos and I've been watching a ton of Manor Lords videos lately, so this is the perfect crossover.

[@WhatsUp-fe8jc]

UPLOAD ON VTH AND GAMING!

[@saiien2]

I like the style how you are bulding your town. Typical American way :D Streets and avenues. Typical European settlement of that time wouldn't be that linear. That's why most of European cities were so "chaotic". All was build for some purpose and it was practical. I like to watch this because you can see that European players have completely different approach than American players. I love that.

[@StokedToker]

Some European cities have a wagon wheel design, where there is a central hub with spokes radiating from that center. The reason? Cannons could shoot further down a straight street.

[@dyutimandas9772]

@@StokedToker well, the time period of the game is late medieval(possibly late-high medieval) and is set in Germany(Bavaria I believe), so no anti revolution streets of the 1800s then

[@voldavkuk]

@@StokedToker There where radial style cities allready in place, but they where remnants of roman cities. But yes the "Idea of ideal cities was "reborn" within the renaicance period, at least 1 12/ or two centuries centuries after manor lords. But Villages, no they where often build in aspecific form and shape. Two roads spread around an elyptic shape where the Church, a pond and place for the lifestock where sourounded by the houses, stables behind the houses, gardens behind the stables and the fields behind the several gardens. Behind the fields where huge areas for cattle pasture and behind that where the "Heide" heathland with trees for wood and oaks for the pigs of the Village to feast on in the autumn - "Eichelmast" (most pigs would have been killed before the winter). From birds eye view, they would have looked like an eye (the church and pond as a kind of a pupil of the eye) within a colourfull village spreading out from its center.

[@strategygamemike]

I had just looked at the channel yesterday, seeing it had been a month since your last upload. And Lo and Behold, you're back!

[@henryconner780]

looks like a cool game! Hope your trip to Italy went well, excited to see the videos from it!

[@kenny14499]

Omg ! I love this game through, please keep doing it ❤

[@der7tezwerg921]

Oh, boy. Always those damned squares.

[@stevenheaver]

It's great watching you play this 👍

[@jordanhooper1527]

I can't wait for this to release finally, I remember loving the demo so much

[@chris395]

Love to see the gaming channel getting some love.

[@ernst_stvs]

vth playing manor lords! what a combo!

[@ZaccusMaximus69]

I havent been this excited for a game in a minute. Is it friday yet? Lol

[@themightyshrelock3818]

For the glory of the Clifford legacy ❤

[@sayberwarrior7928]

This looks really fun. Definitely will have to check this game out.

[@asweettooth1288]

25:00 "ello there, how are you?. I'm your Lord, Sir Pointy 👞 shoes!" 😅😂

[@Hoube14]

im so excited for this series, please keep playgin this one :D

[@troydewit1675]

👍

[@KG-1]

Right away sounds like a nice mix of Ostriv & Pharoah, but medival. Ostriv is just one guy too.

[@StokedToker]

I like Ostriv. The guy is constantly updating it and bringing in new ideas. Needs more maps though I think.

[@KG-1]

@@StokedToker Probably on the maps, but its great as. It made me appreciate the work that went into making things like leather. I like the way he divided labor: kids could work on certain things, but not others. Same thing with women. ML should do this accurate to period - debunk tropes.

[@voldavkuk]

Hi, David here from Germany. Why do I see in the first roads you have build, a typical American "rectangle suburb" taking form!? 🤣 I watched several German KZbinrs develop nice organic, rounded Villages, roads that take some curves as they glide through the environment - but here: NO! rectangular crossroad - check! straight roads to the berries and wild animals - check! I guess it is within your "DNA", as we are formed from what we are used to see and live in? 😋Please dont take my comment to serious! I dont say you HAVE to build your village in that way or it is bad how you design it, it is YOUR village, design it the way you like it and see it fit! And dont forget, I still enjoy your videos, even when I rarely watch your content here on the gaming channel! Maybe there is some content about German Village types coming up on the main channel? 😉 I dont know all their English names, but I had the opportunity to learn a bit about different types of villages here in the historic Germany: slawisches Runddorf/Rundling - literally: slavic round village (very common foundation of former slavic settlements in the "Germania slavica" between the rivers Elbe and Oder), Angerdorf (the Anger is an elyptical communal area within the center of the village, sorrounded by the two roads of the village, also surrounded by trees, typical linden trees, often with a pond and almost everytime with the church build on one end of the anger) - I dont know the English word for it..., Straßendorf - Streetvillage, a village allongside a mainroad, often times the street existed before somone decided to build the village; and as alway rhere are mixed formes, hybrids, etc. but the Angerdorf is VERY prominent within Germany and often still visible today!

[@KDannXII]

Just got the game myself. it's amazing.

[@lovelyhatter]

Reminds me a lot of Foundation but this definitely seems to be more in depth. Looks like something I might have to pick up thanks for the vid!

[@phantomtitan9792]

This looks amazing

[@StokedToker]

The mechainics of the game are very similar to Ostriv. Ostriv is a lone developer in the Ukraine.

[@TheBeeperman]

This will be good!

[@charleshansen4951]

This game look great. It reminds me of Foundation.

[@Anderson-tg1sc]

You too? Wow, now I have to get this game!

[@ostrichhe4d]

Man I am insanely hyped for this, hope it's not gonna be another No Man's Sky

[@grunk1576]

YES!

[@svenrio8521]

Been seeing this on steam. Was wondering how it would play

[@kineuhansen8629]

i cant wait to play this game i had an eye for this for so long the game look amazing

[@SteelWalrus]

YEEEEES.

[@desert_druid_xD]

IM NOT SUBBRED CAUSE THIS THE NEW GAMMIN CHANNEL I LOVE THE HISTORY NOW I CAN LOVE THE GAMIN YAY😊

[@DonnyTinyHands]

You should name the church "Salineville" ⛪

[@antoniomoreira5921]

For anyone radically obsessed with Medieval warfare and I society I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

[@evankeefer5321]

This is nuts

[@joshuakent3848]

Are you going to make a discord?

[@KG-1]

The look of this is very Ostriv. Interesting in that I'd guess the maker of this is also Eastern European. Ostriv is made by a Ukrainian directly affected by current events. From what I see so far there's things in Ostriv that aren't in this and vv. Then again Ostriv is at Alpha 5 I think. Like what I see so far.

[@robertthaid8209]

jelly but i will pick it up :P

[@paulobrien6978]

No grids! Please, think of the children!

[@Rhbrehaut]

What is the bare minimum I need to do on KZbin to get early early access to these games. I hate being teased like this.

[@AdmiralHistory]

You’ve got to do a Red Dead 2 play through

[@jobe5514]

Ah yes, Zweiau, Ohio.

[@CP9Des]

colonizing is fun

[@ocbwhyte1871]

Does this mean you were sent the helmet too? 😉

[@TheHistoryGuy]

People got helmets? I definitely did not.

[@voldavkuk]

The next thing I noticed is this: first devopement point - where do you spend it? Not in better farming, not in better hunting, not in better mining - everything that could have a direct impact in the wellbeing of your villagers - NO - trade™!🤦‍♂ MURICA™!🤦‍♂ You do make it hard for anyone defending the USA (from a German perspective), when you start in a medieval game (set in Franconia, Germany) and invest the first point into capitalism! 🤣 🤦‍♂

[@frshunter]

Since all choices completely benefit the villagers farming, hunting, mining, and trade equally all can be sold, all can be used, all cause the village to expand which helps all villagers equally, money will be used to buy more food and goods equally. The game is not sim(ing) capitalism or socialism just most efficient way to keep people happy and alive collectively.

[@voldavkuk]

@frshunter I am So sorry, that you took me literally... it really wasn't meant that way. I know this game and NO I don't believe it shows either capitalism nor socialism... just don't take everything so serious!

[@frshunter]

@@voldavkuk really wasn't taking you that serious just saw many people saying similar things and it seemed like a trend to make a point. So I was just adding a different perspective. No more serious than others.

[@zackattack366]

Can’t wait for 3 episodes and then abandon it forever like most games you upload. It’s honestly so frustrating

[@sammieboy1159]

I cant wait to get my hands onto this game
