Manor Lords: Building A Historical Village Near The RIVER! 

I really hope that, eventually, we will be seeing forests and rivers being very beneficial to the backyard improvements of our villages - they mattered a lot!

¨Going crazy on mills. Has it ever harm anybody? I don't think so.¨ Don Quixote ¨Am I joke to you?¨

"We are now a truck, and we will hit everything in our way and send it into an isekai world" is an unbelievable sentence, I absolutely love it.

"we can have a smallish field right there" *Makes a 2 morgen field*

The game just got a big update. Trade between regions is now possible,Archers are buffed, fix the over consumption of hale, and now their is a royal tax that must be paid or else the king will send his army composed of multiple lords. I think it is compatible with this save. Of course there is more to the update and I don’t know everything about it but this is already big.

Yes, gambesons require a household to be level 2 to equip. The game doesn't state it anywhere. But if you check the households' inventories, it's very clear that they only go to level 2.

I had a fun mental image of a lord sitting down trying to figure out the best allocation of labor while his knights try to get him to worry about the mass of bandits on the way.

My main problem right now is that if you did not chose and assemble your main army units from the start, when you get your first Retenue, you lose 1 unit slot. So you have to chose and assemble all 6 units from the start of a playtrough.

Mein Heimatdorf im Erzgebirge is auch ein Waldhufendorf…hab ich dank dir nu rausgefunden 😂

small jank tip: I build a city by the river yesterday, if you claim some more territory next to it you can start your settlement directly next to your existing town, spreading over the border so to speak

we getting tease about the riverside city for so long that both supposedly unexpanded village got expanded. Hope we see a mega city by the river soon after you claimed the other territories

Żytawa! Awesome name choice! 2h 19 min drive from where I live :) man that what is the best in your series, I might visit it now 😂

yet but it's sounding like a LOT of the main bugs and issues with the game have immediately been fixed. very good news, now hopefully more late game content shall follow later this year.

Do you think it would be possible to do a vocabulary list of the different types of villages (Rundling, Waldhufendorf, etc.)? I am fascinated by all the different types and their purposes, and would like to do more research, but I keep losing track of the names... 😅

Happy to watch the battles! Maybe a couple of cinematic shots from the ground and above just to tell us what happened in each if you don't want to spend 5 mins on it!

I need someone telling me not to worry as often as you do it in my everyday life.

I love how you use historic towns as blueprint for your in game settlements. Zittau is pretty interesting town. First I though that you were saying Zwittau, which is a town of a similar size close to where I live. It is also a bordertown close to the historical Bohemia / Moravia border. It was also considered part of Sudetenland, with considerable german speaking population living there. Maybe you could use it in the future, it has pretty interesting history as well. Oskar Schindler was born there.

One thing I've noticed is that with multiple wells they just seem to use one at random. I've seen families with a well next to their house walk all the way to the other side of the map to use the charcoal burner's well. The pathfinding definitely needs some work. Also, the mill efficiency is related to the trees around it, so if you chop the trees around it the efficiency will go up.

wonder if you could show us some examples of historical villages and settlements next to the ones that you create that could better visualise what you are trying to go for.

Perhaps build a small manor at the river crossing? Keep it safe from invaders!

For historical infos, a guy who broke down the game historical accuracy and said that tanneries where build far or down wind from villages because they where stinking a lot. It might be interesting to build them with that in mind.

It seems that the work area for the farm houses currently doesn't work properly. As it works right now harvesting is shared for all farm houses in spite of your set work area. They'll return to their assigned area for ploughing and sowing though. At least thats what I observed in my playthroughs.

Mein lieber Scholli, echt. Bisher war ich so: Joar, das Spiel sieht ganz nett aus, aber mit deinem Ansatz historische Dorfformen zu verwenden, hast du mir echt richtig Bock darauf gemacht. It looks so goddamn cozy. Und der Rundling im Winter. Jesus!

The paving and setting of limited work-areas for farmhouses are still broken so your farmers will all go to “a main farming spot first” Cheers love your content!

i played on a pretty easy difficulty where the baron was on the mode where he doesnt attack you and raiders came infrequently and he still brought a second army when i challenged him for one of his territories. I also waited out the timer a bit too long but either way i dont think atm difficulty actually affects that.

Hay mate sometimes I built a rode along the river or along a cliff side of to add unstrate farm lanes. See if it works for your building style

Didn't know that locally, Zittau is called Sitte. I grew up near Zwickau and locals sometimes call the city Zwicke or Zwigge. There seems to be a pattern...

26:12 I shall give you the nickname... "Truck-kun" for being a gracious Japanese isekai contributor for recipients to another world. So keep on trucking!

Level 2 plots require both one lower level clothing item, as well as one higher level clothing item Also, flour is stored in granaries

Heh i am from the "6 Städte Bund" area (görlitz) and Zittau is along the River "Neiße". Wonder if you can recreate the famous beerwar!

Did I see that there are a large number of your Militia that are not yet equipped with helmet and gambeson? You might want to check on that.

They need to hire you for historical accuracy

the baron attacking your land is either get paid off for losing a claim in exchange or fight to keep it for no profit, but if you attack by spending 1,000 of your 4,000 spare influence you can essentially extort money out of him to drop your claim on HIS land while going back to the borders that existed before, you get a payout for using an army that was just sitting around, works well if you have a large personal retinue and archers that can get a high kill to causality ratios so the payout is worth the 2-3 losses you might take maximum in village pop. It doesn't hurt as much if you have max pop or don't need all your villagers and can afford a few losses in exchange for him paying you large sums to peace you out when you attack him

When the baron wants to reclaim the land he sends to armies, regardless of what you do. Difficulty does not matter, either.

Yes, I'm not surprised the townsfolk are making short work of the new found supply of ale! - I called it in a comment on a prior video. Let us not forget that in the general time period covered by the game, ale was generally safer to drink than well water due to its slightly antiseptic qualities -> lower chance of stomach bugs and worse!

Yes, Gambesons can only be worn by level 2 families. Mail only by level 3.

Dat aint no river baw, dat a creek

Really excited for the upcoming city

This is so great!

oh god, i'm early. haven't tried the patch

appreciate your effort to make enjoyable, entertaining and educational content. while Manor Lords is in the genre i enjoy, i have no intention of playing it but your videos... i plan on watching

Praying for bridges and watermills

They fixed archers in the latest patch!

Did the horse you ordered die/run away because it wasn't assigned to the trading post?

im so proud as a czech

Thank you again for no Shrek.. I was so mad

we need a water mill

I am very curious how this patch, which is out now, will work for you!

Is the village near the creek going to get upgraded houses?

I’m pretty worried about it.

I'm trying to look up Sorbian.. villa? Vaila? Can't find anything about them, anybody have a link to that sweet sweet source material?

Absolutely love the name and the historical aspect of Zittau 😍 it fits so well ! Still hopeful for Iserlohn for the Iron rich region 😍 make the IRON FOREST HAPPEN!! 😁😅 …shameless wiki plug 😏: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iserlohn

Ein neues Update kann als Beta getestet werden: Wirst du ein neues Spiel in dieser Betaphase beginnen, um die Änderungen und Neuerungen zu testen?

How did u get that suit mate? Danke

Ich kann mich täuschen, aber würde man "Zitte" nicht mit z schreiben?

It doesn’t make much sense if the guy just keeps attacking you like he should just chill out he is way too stubborn for a tiny province

bro had all the suggestions and just ends up naming the city "city"

The benefit of fighting the battles is to not lose your land why would you gain anything from defending yourself now maybe it would make sense if you took over his land to gain something but still.

Nice sandwich

Žitava

why do you fight the battle. cause if you dont. he will claim your land from you. simple as.

As an Epic Games customer I hope that we get the patch as well. I'm really pissed that Slavic Horse is fine taking my money but not giving me the patches. Classy move. Makes them look like every other toxic gaming company taking money for bugged games without patches.

Going crazy on windmills never harmed anyone? Check where your taxpayer funds are going bruder 😂

1st comment???

I like that village by the Trade Road. But I'm kind of reminded of a sad bit of American history in a way. Where you have the early settlers kind of forming along various wagon trails logically for the same reason. Then the Railroads came, which often went by entirely different routes. And you'd have these otherwise prosperous villages and towns falter and fail as suddenly all the traffic goes in a completely different route. And it spurred a new era of towns being raised along the rail lines as depots and hubs. Then came the Highway Systems, where it all happened yet again with Roads being paved in often completely different places than the Railways leading to more abandoned towns. When you come across those old towns, some of them still alive (barely), others just completely abandoned... it's kind of a melancholy mood that hits you. Particularly if you learn any of the history of it and how it went from this big prosperous trade hub for nearby settlements and outward towards bigger hubs and now is like a village that literally has a population of 40 across 12 families and is forgotten by the world, if not totally abandoned as a ghost town.
