I haven't bought it yet simply because after watching a few videos I noticed the gameplay was going to be too easy with the logistics side of things. That's really my favorite part of these type of games, and this part seems to be easy by design - as similar posts on steam at least were met with people saying that the dev didn't want it to be boring or annoying. I get it, we all have different tastes, but that's why the game isn't my cup of tea. May buy it later on after its more fleshed out tho.

negative reviews arent in general that bad, people who write them wont come back till game is properly patched/updated, and if they complain about lack of features or OP mechanics they have the right to it, its a review of an Early access not the final game, so they let others now its not that polished yet. I suggest us as players who will stick with the game encourage each other to leave our positive reviews to balance the negative out and let the people now this game deserves its chance!

The number 1 issue I had for the first couple of days was figuring out how to fill market stalls with the hundreds of goods sitting across the road in a granary or storehouse. The answer turned out to be as simple as removing and instantly adding families back into manufacturing buildings, so the manufacturing workers wouldn't occupy marketplace stalls. Same deal with farms. If I want effiency I have to micromanage every farmhouse and field. These are not game breaking bugs, but it feels almost like I have to fight with the game to make things run smoothly. I know. It's Early Access. It's not finished.

It's not that easy. If the game was developed to be trivially easy, for people who want a casual city builder, then perfect and you're right don't play the game or avoid the mechanics that make it easy if you're into more complex and difficult city builders. There is no issue here it's just not the right game. But if the game was made to be challenging then : - reporting the issue is keeping your part of the deal. Playing early access means you get the game early IN EXCHANGE for you helping the dev(s) to find the bugs and mechanics that are not properly adjusted -If ti's only trivial then it's either sold under false pretense or the marketing was badly done and didn't describe the game properly. In both cases it's bad for the game.

[@NaturallyEarth]

Honestly what's in the game currently design wise is made incredibly well. The end game just isn't really there because it hasn't been implemented yet. As someone who's really not played that many city building games but is really interested in historical games I think this game is great as it is as a medieval town simulator and I can't wait for more content to come to the game and I don't think that there will be any issues over quality as what is in the early access is really high quality. Just some balance issues, which is to be expected, and missing content which the dev was very open about and will be coming in the future. For the price, it's great and honestly I love the expanding medieval/historical genre of games, can't wait to see what the future of manor lords has in store considering the overall great reception of the early access build.

[@qwe5qwe566]

Maybe if you tried other games you would have better experience to judge game features and design becuase right now the game is very shallow and with some very wierd design choices.

[@NaturallyEarth]

@@qwe5qwe566 I have played many games that are not city builders. The only closest other “city builder” type of game I have played are the Jurassic world games. An outsider’s perspective can be valuable and the “weird” choices this game takes I really enjoy. The family system and the burgage plot system are what I love about it and if the developer had stuck to the generic tropes I don’t think it’d attract as many new players to this genre as it has and would be another generic city building game only catering for those specific players and not trying to be something unique.

[@NaturallyEarth]

@@qwe5qwe566 also the game is not shallow in mechanics it just lacks content. The mechanics of the game are great with farming coming to mind in particular. The content is shallow because the game is in early access. It is obviously not finished and is lacking in the late game because there is no late game - the game isn’t complete. There are no town walls, no level 3 church, no upgrades to the manor, no stone walls, not so many enemy types, no kings favour, lacking trch tree and policies because they haven’t been made. The dev made it very clear the game isn’t finished and what you bought is early access. You get to play an unfinished game. And what I have seen is great. So what I am saying is that I am expecting this quality to continue throughout development and the final game should be great. Calling an early access game shallow is like saying that the sky is blue. It’s a given.

[@2KXMKR]

You do not need to buy the trade routes. You do not need to spend a single penny on your trading post to make money from it. Traveling merchants will buy goods that you have in your trading post just as long as you have that item set to export. All the trade routes do is guarantee the sale of that particular item more regularly by creating a dedicated traveling merchant that will come to your trading post to buy and send your worker off-map to sell that particular item. Buying the trading routes can get incredibly expensive very quickly and I personally find it completely unnecessary to do so as those goods will eventually sell anyway. The only routes you NEED are the ones at the bottom of the list labeled "Major Trades" and you should be focusing on buying only those routes if you want those dedicated traders. Wasting money on the minor trades will bump the cost of the major routes up to the point you'll be wishing you took out that trade perk. My two major complaints with the game are the lazy hunters and deer. I find that as soon as the deer population gets down to your set limit - I always do 10, regardless of whether or not it's a rich deposit, the meat production grinds to a halt and never again catches up despite wasting perks on the hunter's camp. The simple solution to this would be adding meat production to the chicken coop and sheep farm. I'd also like to see goat's milk added in the future, and would be really happy if that went one step further to give us a cheese maker trade. We'd be getting much more food from already existing burgages and farms. My second complaint is the off-map lord needs to chill TF out and give me a damned chance to fight some bandits! I prefer to play without the arms delivery, so it takes me a decent while to build up my army. The instant a bandit camp spawns the lord sends in his entire army to kill them, loot their camp and then he immediately claims a territory. In my latest save I was positioned right in the center of the map and was almost completely surrounded by the lord before I even made my army. Now I have no option but to wage all-out war against this prick just so I can build some farms.

[@theprinceofawesomeness]

Something i would like to see is an option to ban production buildings from open market stalls, or a system to micromanage who opens a stall an where, i do also think a better storage management should be implemented, i think unassigned laburers should atleast (when not building) haul to graneries and stockpiles as if they were assigned to those buildings. I do would like to see prefab burger plot options (as Smalest with a single house, smallest with an extra house, smallest with backyard), it would save time trying to construct. I would personally also like more units and instead of militia professional soilders who trains, where the Retinue would technicly be this i would want to see a more varied unit fold, i thinking that maybe they can make a retinue pool of X men who you chose to assign to example Retinue Polearms, Retinue Archers, Retinue Knights, and with this i would like to see Cavalery and smaller siege engies with maybe gunpowder units being expencive mercenaries. I have notice that Women and Men seem to not work all jobs equally so i suggest a Gender Equality policy that if enactive makes the game not care if a woman would hunt or work the lumber yard or even be a soilder/militia

Since we talk about bugs, I had a fire and burned down 3 plots, not a big deal ... didn't even have time to react and 2 of the fires where out but the 3rd stayed. There's nothing under it (other than grass) but it stays there. All good and dandy but the entire region now it's doomed. I released up to 27 labor dudes to build a few buildings and they don't do anything. Some went plowing some went in the actual manor and they just sit stand there. Probably it has something to do with the fire that keeps burning on the space where it used to be a house... not sure. Anyone encountered similar issue? If so did you manage to "save" the region somehow or that's that in terms of buildings on that? PS the rest of the regions that I conquered are fine, just this one is bugged (probably if this would have happened while I had no other region, that would have been a wasted game).

[@thomashazlewood4658]

I've watched some very good, very long playthroughs. There are aspects of the game that are beautiful! However, those aspects are essentially from 1st person view of the Manor Lord, not the normal bird's-eye viewing mode. Thus, the best visuals will rarely be accessed because it would obstruct the game play to be in that mode. The playability flaw I perceived was that once the initial village had progressed, was generating money, and had expanded into a few other areas, the EXACT same process was required in the new areas, IF you even bothered to exploit them. So, having happily watched for hours as the first village grew, I could now expect to do all the same things for all the same reasons. My first thought then was, well, this won't show me anything I have not already seen. Further, unless you needed a resource from a newly acquired area, there was no benefit derived from them, until they were also developed. No new troops or population, no income or resources accrued. TOO much money! I saw one player who kept 3-4 mercenary groups on permanent retainers, despite the cost. He could do so because the trade feature simply generated more than he needed. The artisans produced goods, those goods were traded, the Baron taxed the populace, and he was never in the red. Mercenary groups were historically notorious for AVOIDING severe losses, yet, when the player wisely uses them up in place of his citizens, sometimes to the last man, the replenished bands will, once again, sign on for the same money and submit, once again, to their slaughter. I would expect those merc bands to demand increased payment before signing on again, eh?

[@lildjay480]

This is a future thought…. I think the base building side of things should be fairly easy (not super duper easy) but easy enough ….. I personally would like the difficulty to be based on defending the city you’ve built I know it’s gonna be awhile to get there…. IMO city builders are supposed to be relaxing types of games where you just watch your creation prosper …. But it’s not just a city builder it’s also a base defense type of game so if later alllll of the difficulty came from bandits or the rival lord I think that’ll be just fine for people wanting a challenge

[@Brenelael]

About the Trader Perk... I don't agree that it should be removed completely it should be rebalanced to be an actual perk and not completely break the trade system. The solution to this is simple... Instead of making it a hard cap of 25 per trade make it a percentage off the normal amount. This could be like a 25-30% reduction in trade costs that while still being a worthwhile perk would not completely break trade. It would just lessen the costs and not make every trade dirt cheap.

[@KG-1]

On trade the simple solution is to make perq some %off the cost rather than low capping it. This way the frame of trade values preperk remains post perk.

I had the bug where the Raiders never leave. Only 10 of them. they just burn stuff down over and over. It would be impossible to rebuild since i didnt have any stone or clay.

This game is only replayable if you want to create different cities, now if you want the end goal forget it or management it will always be the same. And the price, dont know what they think my country is but its expensive has hell, 40€, its it because we use euro? mfg

Gameplay changes and replayability are not mutually exclusive

[@RichardPhillips1066]

Should been 30 euros , no idea what's going where you are

If you don't like it don't play it . Problem solved.

This is my take as well. There are a number of popular games that I didn’t like. But I don’t hang around on steam forums and cry about it.

I think it's pretty good but kinda needs more stuffa

[@AceOnBase1]

Shitting on the difficulty is just a stupid take. Just stop.

The cluelessness of some people is amazing. Which part of "early access" do people need an explanation for? All this nitpicking about the balancing of game mechanics, is like discussing a car's suspension setup while it is still being built. The first and foremost task of the developer is to weed out bugs and add the many still missing features, which will also bring in more game mechanics that will influence existing ones, so they're going to be re-balanced anyway. Seriously, balancing the whole mechanics is the last thing you do, once all features are in it.

As an enjoyer of many early access games, my favorite is when they double down on "yeah before you say it's early access..."

[@jimmunro4649]
