Surviving the Absolute MAX Difficulty in Manor Lords!

Our last run in Manor Lords was certainly challenging... but we can make the game even harder. Forget balance and fairness, let's turn every difficulty setting to its max and see if it's even possible to survive!

You want highest difficulty?! Put on your new helmet and don't take it off during the game 😂

[@t_xxic8814]

Underrated comment. 😅

[@rynodragon2316]

I’m sure Pravus Jr will grow into it

[@Fiddaaachia]

You want him to suffocate 😂

[@ingloriousdane]

@@Fiddaaachia Just put a straw in it?? 😂

[@Fiddaaachia]

@@ingloriousdane well, there is always a way to torture 😆

[@kingboomi2395]

So if you put people in the trade house and turn on export, the people in the trade house will leave to sell the goods. Making a trade route, just changes it so that outside traders come to you to pick up and buy stock. Its faster and in larger bulk, but you can still make money early.

[@Wolf-dn7uo]

was just about to comment on that lol

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Add horses to speed it up and increase load capacity as well.

[@vasilijestevanovic5142]

I think the level of the burgage plots dictates wearing armor. Level 1, no armor, level 2 gambeson, level 3 heavy armor.

[@sinthorasavaris7575]

Just a little tip, you can upgrade your starting camp with 1 log and it willl remove the homeless debuff. That way you will have an easier time starting out.

[@DarwinPlaysVideoGames]

The problem is, people won't then move out of the upgraded camp into houses. This is a known bug and should be fixed in the first patch

[@huebnerrl]

@@DarwinPlaysVideoGames I had no issue with it Once I built the extra housing I just demolished the camp and they all moved into regular houses.

[@DarwinPlaysVideoGames]

@@huebnerrl yeah, that's the workaround. But it would be cool if the work camp upgrade acted as temporary shelter, so small families could move in before burgages were built.

[@huebnerrl]

@@DarwinPlaysVideoGames well the only problem with that is that it turns into housing for five. Why would it turn in to housing for more than the initial five? The good thing is you stay at 50% approval so when you build your first burgage you get a new family almost immediately. I had ten total families before I moved my work camp families into regular houses. Made a HUGE difference in the work force.

[@t_xxic8814]

You don't need wealth to start trading/don't need to buy trade routes to sell. Just look closely in the menu. You can sell some goods (mainly raw materials or low level crafting goods) from the start, but you need a person at the trading post to sell them (they physically carry the goods to the place they sell them at) or have a trader visit you (the ones you can see on walking on foot on the kings road), which happens not too often. Having a dedicated trade route works *WAY* quicker though, as you know, since people come in to buy your goods more often and on a regular basis. A good start in this case imo would be selling planks. You can craft warbows with planks too and you need only 1 burgage plot on level 2 for it, which can be sustained without a great penalty if you have enough level 1 plots until you can sustain level 2 plots regularly.

[@Unni_Havas]

Berries are better than planks. Planks sells for2 and require both timber and sawmill and eventually a forester, while you just pick berries and you do it fast AND they sell for 3 instead of 2.

[@t_xxic8814]

This is gonna be fun... ...after the first couple of years of hardships, struggles and failure. I really enjoy watching the challenges in this game. Being forced to being efficient is medicine to my OCD.

[@VeloSLIraptor]

fun facts some trade routes do need routes established to import export those materials black weapons and armor if it needs a trade route the game will tell you it needs one with the message in the input and export section route required not all house can equip armor T1 house is cannot equip armor they can equip helmets but not armor T2 houses can equip gamisons T3 can equip chainmail do what you want with this knowledge

[@MobyMobius]

yep excatly right, minor trade items dont need routes to start trading, only major ones! listen to this guy pravus!

[@tozzasque]

I usually watch YT videos on 1,5x speed so, when the challenge has started, I had to check the speed but it was already on normal. Wow the pace is insane, both playing and speaking!

[@EurojuegosBsAs]

You just proved your retinue is all you need. Steal the first camp and double them. 12 of them can take 18 bandits. Even defend against raiders on high ground in their own territory. You are gonna lose some. Hire replacements, get a Tower for 24, armor them up, and they are unstoppable.

[@t_xxic8814]

I think going for warbows/an archer unit might be better in the beginning. You only need 1 level 2 burgage plot for it and can craft the weapons yourself. All you need then is population.

[@4984christian]

To be even more efficient you could have assigned the ox to the logging camp

[@huebnerrl]

the only problem with that is the ox is then not available to haul logs for construction. Gotta get that second ox asap. I always get three, one for the logging camp, one for the saw pit and one for hauling logs to the construction sites.

[@4984christian]

@@huebnerrl he had a small time where he only went for logging.

[@CHINZIG_UK]

This mode is brutal. I survive the raid, but the baron claims the territory shortly after. This is the kind of difficulty I love in games.

[@MrSnakepowder]

You can place hunting camps around to move the animals towards you in the beginning.

[@CuantusGaming]

You can sell none route items like stone, planks and such. Also the system now does dynamic trading like you wanted... saturating the market with shoes makes shoes worthless. Not sure the trade build is still worth it, but depending on how much you like micro management. Then again, if greg can put in a system where you set a minimum limit for sales to be approved then you dont lose as much wealth

[@nacreses3544]

This is the only real hardest diff run, thanks Pravus! All the people start with standart resources and don't know how hard to survive without no resources...

[@thomasjentzsch9642]

You need Level 2 or 3 Houses for your Militia to use Armor, Level 2 for Light and Level 3 for the better one

[@asmrsnotdeadyet]

Dont need to buy a route to trade. You can still import & export. Its just more efficient with the dedicated routes. Also: helmets are worn by lvl 1 houses Gambesons by lvl 2 Chainmail by lvl 3 Plate armor is only for outfitting the retinue.

[@Andrew-yz1lb]

Challenge is to get the ability to raise 5-6 units in the next couple of years to defend against the barron. Him killing bandits just means he expands faster

[@rynodragon2316]

OMG! That was the most suspenseful gasp in shock I have ever heard. XD

[@yalonda4226]

I hope at some point we can see a Pravus run without restarts to see what that would look like

[@stokedowl5945]

I’d love a reload counter to track the Pravus frustration!

[@matejsmicka4365]

23:03 I just love the fact that the hunting policy means animals are breeding twice as fast and in the description there is the word "breed" twice as well. :D

[@MinimusMomo]

You actually don't need a route to sell planks and stone, so you could in theory sell them to get the first "wave" of regional wealth. Also for the gambesons you need lvl 2 houses, otherwise they won't equip it

[@alexdabase]

good point lvl 1 house helmets lv 2 house gambeson lv 3 house mail

[@PatrickGiorlando]

You can export alot of items without buying the trade route. The trade perk is only valuable if you're importing items. You are only required to buy the route for higher end items.

[@armyman3211]

Build order. Logging camp and hunting camp. Once you get your first logs in unassign one family from logging camp and make a wood cutter. Net make your stone camp and take one family from your logging camp. Next start your burgages before January and start your tannery before January. Once you have 10 stone take that family and make a saw pit. At this point if you are still in January you have some wiggle room. Church built by march is my best yet but I think end of Feb is doable with a good start. Berries are next. After that focus mansion and then growth to 10-12 families and warbows only upgrading one burgage to level 2. Warbow production should be started by 100 days left until raiders at the latest.

[@oldfartrick]

They get the influence to buy an area early game.

[@rynodragon2316]

Loving the edits your wife is doing. Brings an extra charm to the videos.

[@IMJUSTTOODAMNTIRED]

You're so surprised. This is one of the best streams yet

[@evenakushita]

can u do playthrough with a rule to not remove any family you have assigned to any buildings? which means at least 1 family will be assigned any building you build even if it is not actively producing goods/profits

[@nikola256jerkovic5]

Bruh. That first camp wasnt even a challenge. No bandits whats so ever.

[@OGAmmoMonkey]

Im very confused because it costs me like 12 coins to import wheat and 4 coins to export bread. What version of the game are you using? Imports cost like 5-6 times more than exports of the same item.

[@corykoenig7396]

Now let's see a run that doesn't use trade. 😊

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Lord pravus is on fire 🔥 🔥

[@RizzyTizzyLando]

My God. X games mode engaged

[@viclorenzo5016]

Very nice 👍

[@HeroNotFound05]

Day 16 asking Pravus to play Eu4 Anbennar

[@venetianjack1348]

I hope this releases on X-Box :-/

Do plague inc

[@saintjacques8137]

If anyone's brutally obsessed with purely hardcore Medieval warfare and society I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series

[@MLMariss]

The fact you are rerolling to GET better starting resources means it is opposite of hardest difficulty. I've played hardest-hardest difficulty especially looking for worst resources possible. So this is not even worth watching because of false claims. ;)

[@shadowfire3827]

first :3

[@coolpants4261]

I love your content but your face distracts me.

[@HellzBellz7]

such a dissapointing overhyped contentless game every content creator has done 3 playthrus in the past 10 days if that isnt a contentless game there is no such thing

Nobody is forcing you to watch these videos.
