The Perfect Manor Lords Starting Guide - 1 Year, EASY Income! 

Here we are legends and thanks for taking the time to watch. If there is anything you do differently or could help anyone with, what would it be in addition?

Those bandits are hardcore. Looting a village for 11 berries is some top tier banditry right there. XD

When your spearman get close find a slight elevation change if available, spread them out in a line, and stand still for the +10 vs charging units. Let the bandits come to you, then as soon as the bandit's moral starts dropping order your spearman to push forward. I took my 20 spearman and cleared 4 bandit camps without losing a single man in one shot. Afterwards run your troops back to town then disband them. Hope this helps.

PRO TIP: First thing you do is upgrade the tents to workers camp. It gets rid of the homeless negative. It also makes each family of 2 become a family of 3. If you build homes right away you'll get families moving into the settlement the 2nd month. Also make an area for 90-100 market stalls framed by roads BUT only build 3 stalls. Just make sure you make sure it gets 1 of each of the 3 types. You just demolish the repeat type each time until you get the 3. Reassign the families running them to the granary and storehouse. This way all production buildings have working families NOT wasting them on the stalls.

I've been playing this for about 10 hours and my strategy is remarkably similar to yours, but the holding TAB function is huge for me, i kept wishing there was such a feature. great video, this has been the best overview of the early game that i've seen so far!

Thankyou so much for this!! Ive been following it to the tee 👍

Max bandit camps at start, rush 5 houses, get the free weapons. Just before the Baron goes to the first bandit camp, go there yourself and make sure you put you guys in hold ground stance (+impale bonus). With the money from the first camp, get some mercenaries and destroy all remaining + spawning camps. That's all.

small side note for the foragers hut. you can press the pause button so that frees that family up to go help and then unpause the hut when you want them to go back to collecting

A very helpful guide, I appreciate the effort and learned a few good tips that will really help. Thanks mate.

you can place roads through any resources other than Berries, and they will all relocate to a random location, Just to confirm, Berries will be deleted and not relocate.

Thank you man for the Guide and i immediately purchased the game, waiting for the download to finish so i can play, i always enjoy watch your videos keep up the good work we appreciate it.............. all the from South Africa😁

Great tutorial mate, very helpful!

I have tested leaving a field fallow, and also using the perk with the sheep, with 40+ sheep. I did each for 3 years. There was no change. In the release version, a field cannot exceed its starting value, no matter what you do. If, for example, the ground starts at 5% fertility for Flax,, that is the highest it will ever be.

Great vid L0nzy!

I’ve been struggling not getting wrecked on challenging mode for a while, didn’t realise the construction limit on sawmill worked like that, I wondered why I never got any planks! Great video 5*!

Finally a no nonsense tutorial! Been tired of getting my ass handed to me at the first raid! Thanks brotha

quite interesting start after couple of runs.. and learning from other RU-vidrs/Streamers i think the best solution is to place every job near it's own building.. granary and storage near the market... and always and i mean ALWAYS to have at least one person into Granary and one into Storage.. they will serve as market stalls and keep those houses full all the time.. and don't build farms unless you have 3 plus signs on the ground.. is not worth it unless you have extra hands

Greatly appreciate this guide. Loving this game so far, but the tutorial/info in-game is a little lacking rn. Good stuff!

Currently on my 3rd year of my first run and ive just hit starvation, i didnt realise raiding camps gets you so much money so ive ordered a bunch of food to hope i can save it

nice

Another good tip is don't lvl housing for multifamily that are going to be artisans in the early game because you will lose both families to that craft. That will kill your productivity.

audio's great, what mic are you using?

What I do with the bandit camp money, is send it to my treasury, then hire mercenaries for any other camps that come up. This way my workers stay home, and I can decide with each camp where to send the money. When there's no more camps to attack, I'll disband the mercenaries.

Do not build a well or a marketplace until you are ready to hit build on 5x lv.2 housing plots. You lose productiivity with wells and if you stockpile for a year before putting materials on the market giving you +1 Fuel Supply+2 Food Supply +1 Clothing supply all at once, painlessly upgrading your houses.

how did you make a rally point for your soldiers without any weapons? and if you had weapons, where did you get them?

I'm almost sure your gotta be above 50% approval in order to attract people into your village, so it's 51%-75% for one family per month.

I am trying to follow this guide, but it seems like your construction activities and other tasks complete faster than mine do. Any ideas why that could be?

I had no idea fallow doesn't need to be planted by farmers! @ 14:34

How did you jump to 96 berrys that quickly? 08:40 . I only have 1 person in the berry farm & I didnt get near as many 😭

do the maps ever get bigger? like in total war you have multiple countries to take over its not just 5 or 6 pieces to take over

Someone said u want to have trading post on kings road so those random traders come to your trade post. Otherwise they wont come and make random purchases.

I've been playing this game for 4 day and I learn more watching this video than play the game😂

One thing I have noticed is that if you upgrade your tents your approval will not go below 50%

If you don't at least flank in a fight with a few soldiers you will loose a few men set up a flank I haven't lost a man yet

Don't be scared of the stone 😮

Sorry but this video contains a lot of bad advice, especially if you plan on moving to the challenging difficulty or doing some of the harder achievements like merc only. The worst advice by far is making double housing plots and making them first. Always make single homes with a workshop in the back. Farming and gathering in this game is terribly inefficient at best and unnecessary and as a result the entire farming and gathering skill trees are very bad and a waste of points. Unless you're doing a no trade challenge I highly suggest using a trade rush strategy. Heres the build order I recommend: Granary (temp assign 1 to bring in starting supplies), Storage (same as granary), Lumber Camp (assign 2), Hunters Lodge, Forager hut, woodcutting camp, assign 1 villager to each. When you have 10 wood pull one villager out from the lumber camp and build 5 single family plots with workshops in the back. After that's done build a sawpit and get 20 planks so you can build a church. Build a well. Build 5 more housing plots with worshops. Build a tannery and a trade post. At this point you should have 10 houses up with all their needs fufilled and 1 person in the forager hut, hunters lodge, woodcutters lodge, tannery, and trade post. Use 25 of your 50 starting gold to buy 1 goat extension and the other 25 to open a trade route for leather. As your population comes in start assign people back to the lumber camp and the granary/storage. Order to unlock traits: Trade Logistics, Charcoal Kiln, Better Deals. Sell the leather, charcoal, and excess berries for absolutely massive early game cash and use that cash to get yourself more goat plots (we're going up to around 35 eventually) and more oxes (I recommend getting 3-4 oxes and 2 horses. Once you get around 10-12 villagers you can start thinking about starting weapons production. If you get a good map and follow this build order by the time you get your first bandit raid on challenging you should have a full 36 unit batallion of spears. By the time the first baron raid comes you should have a little under 3 batallions of spears. You will need to hire mercs for the first baron fight in challenging mode. Normal mode you can progress much more quickly.

Best way to start….DON’T start with farming immediately. It’s a waste of time for the first 2-3 years. DO make a few homes with long backyards, and convert them to produce vegetables. 🥕 Raiders are actually easier to deal with than you think. Use the terrain to your advantage (I.e Narrow passageways, high ground vs low ground, lead them to any area you want, or have your archers set in one spot and your spear/shield troops lead the raiders on a goose chase as the archers pick them off).

Bad marketing

This is not the best way to start.

Cmon man 27 mins? What the hell, keep it short please.
