You're not an idiot! Since the war components are not fully developped, its normal that you did not see the colors. It's really fun to see you play. Unlike other content creator, I feel that you play the game really well and you take the time to understand each elements. Continue your great work! ❤

[@SuperRubenCo]

The minute is heard you say ‘I’ll do a Timelapse for the farming area’ i got so excited. You made amazing farm villages in anno 1800 so couldn’t wait for this one!!

[@phigu198]

I'm still impressed by the flowy cape mechanics of the Lord of the Manor. The unit models look great! I'm excited to see what a bigger confrontation would look like!

[@jaredl2239]

I like the field layout. Looks very unique and natural to me.

[@adamwalker3560]

To be honest, a small settlement of a dozen families would historically be protected at best by like 5-8 guys locally, in most cases none as the local troops would be from a more populated area. Also, militia would be incredibly limited, like farmers with pitchforks, not spearmen with shields. Many little villages would run rather than fight, or just capitulate to raiders.

[@michaelgreening4321]

From what I have watched, from a few other people. The army size is capped. I'm fine with that, but if u have more than one region. I think u should be able to add more. Maybe a cap pre region. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.

[@colonelvgp]

46:03 Looks like "ground elder" (Aegopodium podagraria), it's basically a harmless wild weed. We used to have it everywhere, even in city parks.

[@AlexSwavely]

@29:07 yes you can assign from a house to a specific job, I've seen it done elsewhere.

[@deivorous-3592]

I thought the taxation was bugged when I suddenly saw I was swimming in money! You're right, it's not 10% of the monthly income, it just straight up converts x% of the regional treasury into your personal treasure at the end of each month. Feels OP, but it's not too immersion breaking if one imagines the trade profits are being taxed. About the infinite money thing, I'm playing a version which has the 'goods demand' mechanic and it makes a lot of sense to me. Limits trade income without making things too complicated. Being able to sell a million shoes and then keep selling them for the same price would be pretty broken (it made Ostriv too easy after a point). At least this way you can't rely on just one good to be your steady source of income, and there's plenty of goods you can produce and experiment around with for trade.

[@ngee2148]

Love love love this series and how you play. It does remind me of anno 1800. Good old days.

[@phillee2814]

47:12 "mustering" would be the term for assembling all the military forces for action, training, or inspection.

[@SumitSharma-qd6pl]

“Pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers” I heard that one and did the Leonardo meme. Had to rewind to confirm the Wolf of Wall Street reference.

[@RobbieG17]

36:03 Dynamic AI is coming at some point, just won't be implemented at early access release 🙂

[@Ryggy]

I like your idea about limiting trade to once a year timeline. However to keep trade only towns possible maybe allow 1 or 2 trade goods which ignore that limit. The town itself doesnt exist in a vacuum so maybe at game start you can set what the neighbouring regions produce and only those two goods are frequently traded, everything else is beyond your local trade region and takes up to a year for travel.

[@zanpaktou9]

Engles is fun indeed, sometimes!

[@miladhssn]

I really don't wana miss any of your videos man ! You play really well . I really enjoy watching your content ❤ Satisfactory next ep please ! 😅

[@mattclark6037]

Maybe make trade frequency and adjustable difficulty factor? Also, I watch you because you make mistakes. You are a gamer that is a step or two above me, so I can be inspired without being overwhelmed. You're the only youtuber I pay a membership to, and it's worth it. Keep it up

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Thank you! Yeah I'm very lucky people choose to watch and hang out with me, because I'm certainly not the most efficient (nor am I attempting to be) I'm just trying to come across as a friend who enjoys the games you do, and can also lend a guiding hand generally speaking. By the way the next episode is out for members!

[@Squant]

@@WhatDarrenPlays I'm watching for similar reasons. I want to see somebody who doesn't know already everything, but is able to figure stuff out as they play. It's really helpful to hear your thought process as you experiment with the game mechanics, because even if you turn out to be wrong, I probably would have had the same ideas.

[@IndomitableAde]

Love the farm layout and the big burgage plot. 😍 Can't wait to see them grow up!

[@hsushbzzzhsus]

we need darren speaking in the bg like anno 1800 while time lapse ❤❤

[@Runetrantor]

Man, I love how any time you go into first person mode, the location looks so pretty you could convince me its a shot from an rpg like Witcher 3 or Kingdom Come Deliverance. Rather than a side thing you can do in a city builder. Question, do villagers path around without roads if need be? Because I notice you dont have a road between the Naul curent village, and the farms you made, so maybe the workers have to take a super long route around on the Kingsroad?

[@phillee2814]

They take the route with the least effort, from what I've seen. I'm really hoping someone will try just building the facilities, then watching to see the routes that people take cross-country, and building only those roads. Once I have the decent PC put together, I'll try that unless someone does it first and finds it doesn't work well. That is pretty much how roads originally developed, after all. Once the road is built on the route they would customarily take anyway, the characters just move a bit faster, I believe.

[@perhaar]

I love the farms. It looks very nice

[@EngineerRat16_YT]

i love this series pls keep up the good work

[@TheBritishArmyRBLX]

1st and love this series PLEASE continue i have been waiting for this episode for YEARS it feels like

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

More coming soon! There will be 3 per week from here on out!

[@cameroncrider6970]

Let’s goooo!!!

[@OutcastPyros]

Make your retinue blue and yellow to match your emblem.

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Doing it in the next one!

[@shubhamthakur8530]

The farms look great, can't wait to see the whole region laid out

[@shotgeek]

Out on Xbox game pass today. Can't wait to jump in for "free".

[@Tonydoore]

Have you thought of smaller longer farm plots so its more like medieval strip farms

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

No I wont be doing that, just because I've gone with this style now. Had I know before then maybe I would've done that instead. I don't know much about history tbh, so I just go with what looks natural to my eye rather than what was probably realistic. The farms where I grow up are all curvy and windy and the land is broken up based on terrain, so I tried following contour lines of the topography and varying the plot sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 morgens.

[@Tonydoore]

Fair enough, I'm really enjoying your play through, It sounds like the developer is listening and hopefully won't sell out to a large gaming house

[@fredfishface]

Love all your play-throughs. Can't wait for this game to have its full release. P.S. I don't mind being a chicken.

[@RohithPKumar]

Hey, why don't you upgrade the main road with the Tier 3 houses to a stone path..., it will look good with em.

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

There are no stone paths in the game :/

[@RohithPKumar]

Ohh

[@serbisolomun]

more timelapses i love it

[@igotubro6279]

u need to build a retinue at ur farming land, 24/24 DEFENCE

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Next episode the retinue arrives in "The Naul" and patrols around, it looks so cool!

[@murtazahameed3833]

Gorse, maybe

[@michaelford2622]

Loving the series, do you happen to know if the unit limit of 6 per game or per region? Is it possible to establish a manor and retinue per region?

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Unfortunately I don’t know. There might be videos that have tested this though

[@mcmanon5696]

I think you should had a little market with the farm house so they can access to goods

[@maryf7709]

There are droughts in the game. I've seen it happen a couple times to other players. Plus raiders have set towns on fire in some play throughs.

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Ive seen the raids, but they are kinda small and very infrequent in my opinion anyways!

[@s.m.1354]

Historically stripes of land were divided among the peasantry. This was fairer than blocks of land due to fertility..

[@painkiller50]

Dude release part 8. Its been 24hrs

[@Modaries_01]

I heard early access is only 40% of the playable game

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Uhhh not sure about that. There’s no roadmap or anything so we dont know what will get added, in what order and over how long.

[@Holdonitsjohn]

Love this 🎉

[@kineuhansen8629]

so much rain make me think the game is set in britain but the buildings look old german or european

[@Wolf-dn7uo]

i think its supposed to be somewhere in eastern Europe

[@janesaunders8001]

I believe it is north Germany, but I love how much it looks like England. I think perhaps, if/when I play, I will call my first region Wessex 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Grilled_dodo]

Your fields are rlly smal a normal field for a starter farm is 1
