The BEST Start in Medieval Dynasty in 2023!

[@ravager88Plays]

So I have decided to quit my job and start gathering sticks and stones....

[@phobiahavoc]

Smart choice...

[@ravager88Plays]

[@derekliljequist1086]

To do even better day 1 I recommend running to a bunch of the abandoned bandit camps and tipped over carts instead. With a good route you can end day 1 with over 3000 money, a recurve bow and iron arrows, along with the upgraded packs and few other nice items if you want.

[@scapegoat_games]

what's the best route you've found for this?

[@TheIrvy]

If you're lucky you can find a large wicker basket at an abandoned bandit camp and your carrying problems are over. If you go east from Gostovia and then follow the river up you'll pass by a spot that, if you're lucky, will have a basket waiting for you, and you might even find an iron crossbow along that route too if the game gods are smiling on you. You can fill the basket up with stone knives in bundles and save a lot of time running back and forth between the merchant and wherever you're collecting from. There's also a blacksmith at Lenica which can be reached on foot on day one. Personally, I go for a wooden crossbow with iron bolts for day 1 weapons, but that's completely personal choice, I prefer a crossbow.

[@Rainbow300182]

Thx for the video. But, it is not necessary to build your village near a mine. While walking to the mine in the morning and walking back in the evening, the workers also produce ore. They dont have to be in the mine for this. So you can build your village near the river or anywhere else. Same with clay or something like this. They produce it, no matter if your village is directly at a clay spot or miles away.

[@phobiahavoc]

I agree it's not necessary, it just always strikes me as odd to have my village in one place and my mine somewhere else. That's why I said it's a suggestion but certainly not something you have to do.

[@netzbandit]

For the sake of „realism“ I built a complete outpost near the mine. Houses, storage, smithy and the mine (even an (unused) well just for the look). Now the workers live near their workplace and stay in the area all the time.

For those who don't know, you can get a recurve bow and iron arrows for free virtually right from spawn. There's a triple waterfall to the east of where you spawn, and when you get there, you'll find a bandit camp. It will have a recurve bow and arrows. It will also have some clothing and other items which can be sold. If you also go into the water next to the camp toward the 3 waterfalls, there's tin ore, limestone, and a bronze pickaxe (usually a random spawn)

[@philipjenkinson8137]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Let me know how you like the game. It's one that's really easy to spend a lot of time in imo

[@LourieJacobs79]

​@@phobiahavoc Great game! I absolutely love it, have tried all "modes" but once you go into unlimited carry and cheating items for purposes of building it kind of breaks the game. Good for seeing what there is to see but it's the challenge of playing it slowly and grinding for resources that makes it fun, as the dev's intended. I'm disappointed in how limited the storyline is in terms of zero variation between playthroughs and would have loved to see a ton more of the artwork displayed on the loading screen - they are really awesome - but overall I'm happy I've bought the game. That being said, having played the demo of Mannor Lords, for me personally a mix between Mannor Lord's city building with Medieval Dynasty's first person view where you could potentially help build the burgage plots, hunt, collect resources, do quests and participate in warfare would have been the perfect game for me. Maybe a collaboration between the two dev teams could be extremely interesting, don't you think?

[@gloriasdaughter940]

I usually loot along the way in the beginning. I run along the river at gostovia, hitting all the barrels, carts and chests on one end, then run it along the other before heading to branica. I grab sticks and stones along the way (knives) as well, but the loot I get I sell in Branica before wagoning to Hornica for Jan's weapons. Different strat, same results :)

[@JumpingFlapjack]

I sit comfortably in my armchair and listen. Conclusion: very, very, informative and good :)

[@Riska__]

The V in Wisent comes from the German/Deuch pronunciation of the letter W. The map is supposed to be based in northwestern medieval Europe, which is why everyone has english and Irish accents. But since I have been coincidentally learning German, I pronounce every name as if it was German, and it actually works really well! I'm half a year late here but just wanted to point out something I noticed that I haven't seen anyone do. Also my personal money making method I'd chopping down a few trees, get logs, and turn them into the planks in the woodshed, and then turn them into wooden vials in the workshop. Early game you can sell them for 1.5 coins, later on they're 3 coins each...now that may not seem like much until you realise that one log gives 2 planks...and you get 10 wooden vials per plank. Yeah, crazy! Awesome video though, I'll try this out next time I start off a new life.

[@AnonymooseWasMyName]

There is something to be said for playing this game with god mode settings on Racimir. Unlimited carry weight especially. Once you get later into the game and unlock the woodshed and workshop, then you can make & sell wooden vials. They're made of planks and are the true path to filthy medieval riches.

[@phobiahavoc]

That's true. I definitely did a playthrough or 2 with those settings. I just have come to really enjoy overcoming the restrictions the game can put on you.

[@jc478]

Wooden vials won't get you rich any longer, not that, or wooden spoons etc. They reset prices and adjusted the economy, so the values of items are more realistic. I mean would you really find more value in a wooden spoon, vial or bowl or would a copper pickaxe have greater value.? The items like tools or clothing are a good price to sell because there is more time and effort to make them. These changes are game wide, not just in the co op mode. I have a mine IN my villiage, and 2 more on the map. The first day of the season I going to town to sell my metal tools.

[@flynnmayne2055]

[@phobiahavoc]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@everwhat013]

in early game, i just turn the carry weight limit off until i get my shit together a little. i really like the realism of not being able to carry EVERYTHING you want with zero limits, but in early game, you just don't have anywhere to store your items so you just have to drop it all on the ground then run around trying to figure out where your stack of sticks is. your house only comes with 50 kg of storage space and it takes a lot of points to finally unlock a storage chest.

Although the first storage items (wicker baskets) give experience to make.

[@pisachasrinuan7960]

Hey man, totally agree with you. I was just in the game recently and already sunk like 30 hours into it before I learned anything (I read from Reddit and Steam discussions). Apparently, everyone realized that they need this trick in their 2nd or 3rd play-through 😂 If you start from scratch, we have to walk back every time we cut 2-3 trees, when we build something, which is not efficient and boring (because of weight). So the weight capacity is very important. It also takes a lot of time (materials, building, and tech) to make a pouch, backpack, and bow. I don't have any of them in my first game after 3 years and still kill birds and rabbits for food and think it's a good gameplay 😂 I would suggest Denica and Lesica, they have pouch and bow shops as well, and not very far like Hornica. Some people already pointed out that we can walk through abandoned camp, that's a good trick also.

Just run around and pick up these items from the camps/loot on day one. I started again last week, and after two days had picked up a full set of copper/bronze/iron tools, a recurve bow with various arrows, made around 2000 coin selling the stuff I didn't need, with all of the fun of the exploring and none of the grind of picking up 7 million stones from the ground. Your start isn't OP because of the grind, and it's also just the way to play the game.

[@HallyVee]

No, most of us don't focus on specific strats like this, we just play the way it's designed; following a few quests, building the new exciting things we're unlocking, experimenting with the new systems. Generally it's the content locust who blast past everything using popular metas to avoid 75% of the game for the achievement.

My tip for beginners: Start a new game, turn on infinite stamina and weight and set seasons to 30 days. Now you take some time and just go farming materials for 3-4 hours. After farming you save it. Now you have a save game which you can use everytime you want to start a new game and you won't need to farm again.

[@HallyVee]

Like Bethesda games, play until you get the second *confirm create character* prompt, save, then save again for each character.

Game developers are so worried people cheat in their game by exploiting stuff like this then they go and nerf stuff that was originally designed to be like that.

Plus, the food storage and item storage will automatically distribute items as people need them. Put EVERYTHING in those chests unless you want it for yourself. Items gathered and made by villagers also automatically go in those two storages.

doesn't all this sticks & stones make the game boring??? Pity the map isn't random, or even custom maps you can download.

[@HallyVee]

Only if you focus exclusively on this, the game really isn't meant to be this way, this is a special tactic for maximizing early profit. The game is actually designed for you to play along the storyline and build a village as you go. Every time you walk through a forest, i.e. constantly, you're gathering sticks and stones.
