Manor Lords: How To Build A CITY WALL Without RUINING Your Save Game! 

I had to record this video TWICE due to how janky the walls can be! PLEASE NOTE: This is pure jankeneering! The walls are NOT intended to be used that way. But it does look cute! Now it is on you to do two things: Like and subscribe!

Dude, 1 person working, while 4 others are watching isn't a bug, that's just even more realism in this already immersive game lol

Can't wait until manor lords gets proper town walls so we don't have to cheese them lol

I think the haufendorf is the best looking settlement this far. looks so realistic and the mill on the hill is just gorgeous. Could be a postcard.

OPB has a talent for making any kind of series entertaining. The history lessions and RP is what is making this series stand out

Absolutely love this series so far, I'm still so hyped for it to come out Main critique atm is that there are no rivers or lakes and I wish I could build and upgrade brigdes for said rivers

I'm pretty sure I'm one of many here: I've never heard of One Proud Bavarian, but now that the Manor Lords hype is at it's pinnacle I've obviously found him through reccomendations and... Damn, this game is just made for this man! Great pacing, great understanding of the game and breaking its rules to achieve even greater results, but only for the purpose of beauty. Some nice snippets of historical knowledge thrown in and all with a clear and understandable naration. Great work!

This is the Stronghold sequel I dreamt of as a kid. All that jank brings me back:)

I've been watching your videos while I await Manor Lords to release as I found the way you build your towns to be much more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing than others, but to be honest I think I'm becoming more interested in listening to you describing the history of villages and towns, how they operated and old customs. I would absolutely love to have like a 30 min or 1 hour long video just going over how towns developed, the life of peasantry; basically a collection of all the details you describe in these videos and anything else related

I subscribed for this series as I am enjoying the historical commentary.

Historically, german settlements would have had a Landwehr made of Hagen, a planted thick thorn hedge. Many villages still have streets which are called Am Hagen or Im Hagen, indicating where the hedge was.

After watching this video, the Developer must really love you and hate you at the same time. Love this series so far for the realistic approach!

I'm Learning and Entertained at Same Time. Such Blessing.

I really hope that they change the way walls function to allow for this without having to do a work around. I am sure that they will and this was just an oversight but this is clearly something people are going to want.

The haufendorf needs a name that distinguishes it from the other settlements and emphasizes its independence from the Manor Lord. I was thinking something along the lines of Freiburg (Free Town). PS. Loving the series! Please please please continue. You are the only streamer actually highlighting and enjoying (and teaching us about) the historical aspect of the game, which I think was so important for the dev.

Wonderful! I do hope the walled settlement issue gets fixed eventually. I also wished they had a palisade rather than a fence for the fortified walls. The fence makes sense for some buildings, like the church, but not for a fortified wall.

This series is a joy to watch. I go on RU-vid multiple times a day to make sure I don't miss an episode. Can't wait to play the game myself!

this is what I imagine Age of Empires 4 would look like when they first teased it....imagine my disappointment. Thank you Slavic Magic for bringing back passion for this genre.

ah finally!! 👏🏻 thank you for today's upload! i'm so invested in this series and i love the little history lessons in each videos.

If the church has a bell it should ring when enemies enter the territory

Fair play to creator for making these videos, I am skipping through them to not spoil too much for myself !

Can I just say your videos are seriously the best when it comes to this game!

Just so you know, I've read veggie plots scale with size, but chicken coops aren't. If so, the meta would be to build chicken coops in small backyards, and veggie plots in your biggest back yards.

I've done the same kind of thing myself Although, one thing that helped a lot to place buildings inside of the walls was to : - make a road where you'll want your wall to be - when placing the towers, place them along that road - then place the walls You'll end up with a road following your walls fairly close, and that road will help a ton to brace the backyards of burgages / other "zoned" stuff like pastures or the markets

I dont wanna encircle an entire village but a small marked out area for fully upgraded houses with rich people in it and its own small market would be P E R F E C T

Now I just can't wait to see this village with all the houses on lvl 3....bc I imagine it will be soo amazing ^^

Excited to watch!

FINALLY!! Waiting for these posts is the longest part of my day lol

I love that GTA2 KGBH Boris-like radio accent; very engaging. Nice video!

Wonderful episode. Sorry to hear of your recording trouble. Thanks for putting in the effort to make a video anyway.

Me: I don't want to add town walls yet, they are still WIP One Proud Bavarian: Hold my Weissbier

Finally somebody made it happen! Thumbs up!

A new helmet! One proud larper! Going to Mythodea this summer? I participated for 5 years before the pandemic, such a great Larp!

I loved the history lesson, some information I never knew!

I really liked how this guy went into the hostory and significance of serfdom and freemen. I dont know kuch about this time period just enjoying the game but it makes me want to do something like this to roleplay

i think you could fence the village all around except for a little tiny spot not very apparent so you could still build inside with the wall set in

Best manor lords videos by far 🔥

Walls! You are the hero we all needed.

I think that a way that could maybe help with creating the outer wall, so that you don't place houses that goes over that point, could be to make outer roads where the wall will be right outside of that road, that way you could form an idea of how big you want your town to be, being walled off.

Was just wondering when the new vid is coming. Thanks!

The haufendorf looks awesome with the wall around it.

We have that medieval saying about cities in the Netherlands as well: "Stadslucht maakt vrij". It's implications are similar to the rules you described.

i've been refreshing RU-vid for hours waiting for this

Gorgeous!

In that "meaningless" road between the two farms, i think it could be good to put the farmhouse or windmill there. Love the videos. I wish i had a better pc to play this game 😂

I hope the bug that makes house plots unclickable after surrounding them with a fence will be fixed in the near future. If not, I'll refer to your method shown here! Thank you for testing this out so we can replicate it if we want to!

Another history lesson, let's go!

Good work❤

an easy way to track your walls is to have a "mauerweg" Wallway(?) - have road surrounding your village/town thats itself is surrounded by your citywall to be. if no longer wanted you can scrub it anyway but you can plan far easier.

I hope they add actual town walls and varying types. but this game is looking pretty great as is

I found you through an article if that helps, glad I did

Man I thought the whole time that I know this accent after it came to my mind I saw the channel name😂 Gutes Video 👍 Grüße aus Hamburg

We need Stone walls!’ NAAAWW !!! 🚁

The jank tips are top notch. Curious, does the iron pit need to be placed directly on the deposit or is it possible to set it off to the side and double or more the pits and production?

Just a though, OPB, could you avoid having to check the castle builder again and again by building an initial pathway that follows the desired outline of your wall before as a guideline before marking out your perimeter fence? It could also be used to more accurately delineate where burgess plots with the edge of the wall. And also give another way for villagers to wander about town.

Additional Tip: after laying out the outer wall, use the Castel Planner to build a road along your wall. So you don't have to guess where your wall will be build.

Maybe you could add a garrison tower or two or three to your Haufendorf, in order to recruit a sizable retinue as town guard to defend its territory.

So if you build the house, then build a fence, the houses you can interact; but if you build a fence then add houses inside they won't work?

The walls may not be intended to be used that way but hopefully there are walls you can use in that way. The time period that this game takes inspiration from had towns with defensive walls.

3x3 plot of flax, wheat/rye, ferlow is 12% increase of field futility per 3 years. doing same thing for flax, wheat/rye, then ferlow. then gives 3 small plots of flax, 3 small plots of barley, and 6 plots per year of wheat/rye. building multiuple water points is also good so lighning or drout can cause fields to catch fire. and closer water is faster put out for minimal damages. personally i will build manor next to a waterhole, then i will build a 2nd grainery and storehouse(setting the grainery to beer only, the store house for barley and military good only) there with the manor and 3 t3 houses for breweries. because as artizens they are always in the manor. and always ready to quickly put out fires. then all that will run inside itself within a full enclosure and wont need to check on anything with 1 person assigned to the graniery and stockhouse. then i will establish inns on either side of the manor so the ale can get to the locations quickly. assigning 1 family to 2 taverens, with a taveren on each side of the brewery and collection points is far more efficient then running a single taveren with 3 families. as for the walls. if you connect everything it will fully enclose the space. and archers and other troops dont make use of outer towers so outer towers are useless for purpose of military advantage. but using a couple of outer walls are good for setting build extensions for manor. however having walls that funnel, with an enclosure around forces enemy troops to funnel into a positions. so making something like a packman wall, with the mouth left open will cause troops to funnel into that space. and in the attempt to build toward a location like a mine. it will go up and up and up in costs. but after you reach the destinations for planned build. you can then delete the connecting points inbetween, leaving 1 at the edge of the paramiter of the city. this will give you a separate manor region around your mining deep pits, it will give you a build point for the exterior, and a fully enclosed manor. and when the walls arnt connected to the manor itself. it doesnt make a full enclosures. as the packman mouth is good for 2 reasons. it causes all trafic to go threw 1 point of access including invading armies or bandits. then if you have a pole arm troop. you can sellect them with the rasbruiters. because mailitia cant recieve special orders but the rasbruiters do. so while grouped together, it is like the rasbruiters commanding the pole arms do this. and then you can assign tight formation. stand your ground. then shield wall. now you can move your pole arm units into the funnel of the pacman mouth. causing a troop size of 26-120 to narrow down to 5. causing the single 36 man pole arm unit to defend it all. where for slighly more efficency you can assign a arrow unit behind the cuts of the back man mouth and also order them to stand your ground. and they will shoot over the wall to the seen troops by the polearms at the mouth. causing a 2 36man army to take out any size of force in a military defense. where the 2 methods for making external fenses with full access to managing things within the city. is 1 break the wall segment so there is a gap between the build spaces. and tip 2 is build a double wall so external internal faces internal external. then the bubble is isolated at the all point, and as long as it is broken from the main manor construct, it will not block everything out within the city. and that is how to build a full manor, a packman gillotine, and an external resource protection against bandits. to not only have a fully stable region. but a minimalistic military. so added military can be used with other regional conflicts. allowing you to fully focus on new regional growth and development at the true mid game point.

Did the Germans utilise the castra system frok Rome too? Like, when the Western Roman Empire fell, did some towns retain the old urban planning of the Roman camps? Would love to see it in your region!

Once again, I suggest the new settlement to be named: *_"Sankt Georg am Eisenwerk"_* This name represents -) the reason why it was settled (won the battle under the protection of the saint) -) the church blessing it (as the church is the literal center of the town) -) the lifeline of the settlement (continuous iron supply and it's products) -) that the settlement is a bit detached from the grasp of the current lord.

I love this so much

Bravo!

You could built 2 manors on opposite sides of a village. Then build a wall that loops back around itself around half the village, and the same the other side. You get 2 open areas that you can say is a gate or entrance, and add some towers on the sides to make it look more official.

It would be interesting if later on we can give out city charters or see independent communes on the map. Or at least attempt to larp one.

These maps are so beautiful, they could almost pass as the basis for a part of a Kingdom Come Deliverance map. And it's a strategy game...

"This took absolutely ages" .. he says in the shortest video of this series. 🤣 Thank you for saving us from the boredom of watching/skipping that. Though if there is recorded (and not yet deleted) footage, could make for a good "the terrible behind the scenes life of a YT'er". 👍😜

It's really beautiful city 🎉

The Jank-engineering is insane xDD

afaik for inter region trading you need the donkeys that barter items between regions. the normal traders only trade with the outside.

Would you consider recording a video before you lose this save where you're just walking around each of you settlements and villages? I find the parts where you walk around your towns and villages so calming and satisfying

What about multiwalled cities? Our village has a wall and thus rights inside that wall, but what if the village out grows the wall? If you live/work outside the wall, do you not have those rights? What if a new bigger wall is made do they get those rights back? Do the people in the inner wall get more rights? If so will the local lord fight to stop these walls from being put up? Does the village/city give up other rights to the lord to get the rights a wall gives?

Says he is not an american, but he creates hundreds of Burghers... curious

Actually, I am hoping this is on the TO DO LIST, in which King's Favour allows the purchase of a license to crenellate. Which would allow for the modification by the dev later on if not allowable now ;)

26:36 - While I see this, I'm just reminded of the opening scene of Witcher III

QUESTION : Can one modify pathways etc, like adding hedges, fences maybe seating ?

So I've planned all my walls and started adding buildings to my walled city, however, I'm thinking about one thing I'd like to add and I don't know if it will break my city. I am thinking about adding a road in the Castle Planner that exits through the back wall near my Garrison (so my retinue can make a quick exit out of the city). If that road alters my (uncommitted) Castle Plan because it will need a gate through the wall, would that be something that would break everything? I'm thinking of trying it out after everything is done IF everything works out Ok. Thanks!

What if you tried to plant barley in the yellow areas? Could that work or do you say it's not worth it at all to make the tavern supply chain? Also, I think the village needs some space between the wall and forest to be cleared, so that there is no cover for thieves or enemies to sneak up to it.

Obviously a proud bavarian must enjoy a game based on medieval south Germany and we must rely in his personal experience!

So if I understand rightly u have to build a manor, plan the wall, build your city and then build the wall. But can you alter the wall before building it while having already build some city buildings in it? Or is it build a wall once in planner and never touch it again, just build the city in it and build the walls?

The castle being done and dusted once you finalize the walls is silly; as is not having city walls that do not depend on the castle walls. I hope it's one of the things that end up reworked as development progresses.

German Medieval Cities were colorful and actually huge, they were marvels of architecture. Assassin Creed Hexe is going to focus on this time period during the witch trials, but its going to be dark and gloomy

if i remember right, a road costs nothing? build a ring road either just outside or just inside of where you will have the City wall. then before you build it you can erase the road.

So, can you edit the wall if you want to expand and make the wall larger?

latest patch seems to hose up the wall method. I cant seem to set up more than 4 towers and...they have to touch the manor. Oh well. maybe in the future we will have city walls..but, this is still amazing.

Take a sip of your drink every time this guy says "Dont worry about it too much" "Indeed" "pretty"

your villages and towns look just so aesthetically pleasing!

I like to think that this game could be connected to CK3 where the whole map is a county while the smaller divisions are baronies.

Will a tower only defence be useful? What if we place towers around the village and place no wall

that bug actually makes a lot of sense. The way you build the wall is not the intendet way to build villiage walls, its supposed to be just the way to build a castle. Thats why they are called castle walls....

other than making it harder for attackers to reach your buildings, does being inside the fence bring any other benefits ? e.g. happiness etc. ?

Just fyi small fields are like twice as efficient as 1 large one. You can really get a lot more food that way.

Is that a bug? Makes no sense you build a wall and lose the colony

Man... the city sure looks realistic

will you be releasing the save for others to build onto please?

I strongly hope that the devs are going to implement fortifications and stuff

if you place a wall like that around the city, is the city then save from brigands?

Is there any river any stream in that game, water was so much important (still now) in medieval locations

Funny thing i live very close to Selbitz
