TOP 5 NEW Features I wish for MANOR LORDS 

Milk would be good and also realistic for a food variation, as well as fish.

Love how you visualise the ideas... the rivers would look amazing based on your concepts.

Those would be great additions. Here's my ideas: I would suggest giving a diplomatic function to the churches using missionaries and add a dedicated area for graves. Also, churches were used as hospitals at the time, so sick and disabled people could be taken care by the staff. Speaking of which, why not include major diseases like the bubonic plague? Churches could also be upgraded to cathedrals and become an education center. Similarly, we could upgrade the manor into castles. Those would use a massive amount of stone obviously. In the warfare, cavalry is a must. Food... i would add vineyards for wine production, and of course dairy as you mentioned. There's a salt item currently unavailable (also candles), so I think there will be coastlines, though I could be wrong. Lastly, i think the game should include more places or events for entertainment like an arena and fairs, maybe an artistic class like troubadors, bards, jesters, etc.

Spending 45min trying to spawn in my favourite region - I hope we can choose a region in the next update!

Rivers is awesome with the idea of having better means for moving around troops and trading resources, I think rivers would justify having even larger maps with even more physical barriers like mountains or valleys

Good suggestions and the most propably is that in the full version we will have water around the map, as well as another source of meat

Potatoes didn't exist in Middle Age Europe. They came from the Americas...

My understanding of that time period was that most houses had at least one cow and often several pigs. We can have backyard chickens, why not backyard pigs? And what about houses having a larder upgrade where they have a personal cow or two that they milk and thus can make CHEESE! Cheese and butter were such big parts of medieval households!

5:20 Good building stone was a rare resource for large parts of Europe. Hence why castles and fortifications in central and eastern Europe were usually either wooden or built with bricks. So it really depends on where the game is set in. I would argue that brick production should be added to the game.

Walls, three times taller with parapets, aslo archers can hide and shoot from towers. Also moats and canals for defence and to enhance soil of fields.

I would love to see storms, strong winds blowing during winter darker nights, fire torches and lamps

All of them are great, and yes, especially about stone resources, mining stones is essentials to build houses, bridges and castle. Of course rivers and lakes too, especially as natural border, but I think the dev already prepare it to add those things in the future. Overall, I agree with all of your suggestions. My hopes for the next addition in the new updates, although probably not in the near future (idk) actually something like: 1. I feel kinda odd that there's no kids or children, or pets (cat and dog) running around 😅. So I hope there will be children laugh, cats meowing, dogs barking, running around and playing. Wasn't cat also already used to hunting mice in medieval era? Dogs for guarding livestock and herding sheeps? 2. Supernatural stuff!! 😅 I mean, hello?! in Medieval era, come on! Probably expecting fighting ghost, dragon, elf and goblins is too much unrealistic 😂 (gosh, I read too much isekai) but idk, maybe just add the image/illusion of them hiding in the forrest watching human (menacingly, of course). Simply just to giving the mystery eerie vibe. Strange wolf running around in the deep dark forrest and disappear. Dun dun duun. Or Maybe for enhancing difficulties level, developer could add crazy lords, or ruler, who are into cult, kidnapping villagers and kids. I mean, let's be honest, in the modern era they're still exist. Fight them! Save and protect the villagers from this evil cuckoo!!😤

As food resources, plant accurate are onion, broad beans, lentils, pea. From animals I think apart from what you and others mention geese would be cool as they also provided feathers. I think it would be awesome to have burgage plots able to customise between those, as realistically you could have 10 geese a cow and grow different stuff. Also plagues and health. Also festivals, periods of lent or fasting and seasonal fest. Also appointing a village head as he was a thing back then. Also herbs, but not only picked in forrest, but farmed by monks in abyss. And making liquor out of it. Also i would like to see some sort of polution factor that affects health, from for example tanneries. Also I would like to see some change in burgage plots balance, at the moment you can have city made only with lvl 3, which is unrealistic becouse those were merchants and artisans not farmers. And punishments, pillory is a must for me ;) As well as more how religion affected everyday life, sending people to learn to write and become monk, beliving that god punished us with drought and such stuff.

Here are some features that would add big changes to the game: Rats and sewege: there should be disease in the game that spreads from too many rats. In small villages it should be fine, but once it starts to grow into town, maybe there should be a sewage system required to make sure the rat infestation is kept to a minimum. These sewages could be connected to water sources (rivers) and make sure it's down stream so people don't use the water from the sewage infested waters. Similar to the system present in Cities Skylines, just with the addition of rats. Sickness and doctors: There should be a bunch of sicknesses that people can have, and even things like losing limbs etc. Old people and children need to be taken care of, etc. A bit like the system in Frostpunk. This would effect the work force, and make sure that doctors have the tools/technologies necessary to save as many people and as quickly as possible. This is medieval times, everyone had something wrong. Holidays: There should be things like national and religious holidays, things like Christmas, etc. And you should need to stock up a bit of food, wood, etc for these events because most people won't be working in those days and enjoy festivities. Also, have the option to make everyone not work on Sundays for religious purposes.

@1:26 Just a point of order, Potatoes do not exist in Europe at this time as they are a new world plant. If you look at the gardens while they are growing, while the image is that of a carrot, there are I believe 4 different varieties of vegetables that grow in the gardens. Carrots and cabbages for sure.

I totally agree with you. I would also like to have the possibility to build cobblestone streets when the town reach a higher level.

@2:47 The thatch roof's are the lvl 1 burgage plots. Lvl 2 houses have wood shingles. But that could be an interesting resource needed for lvl 1 houses. The Dev has stated that Lakes, Rivers and water industry will be in the full game. I don't know at what point he will introduce it though. It would likely require new maps be made. So not likely until he is ready to introduce a new map to play on.

This River looks here marvelous. I wish there will be more terrain options like: More hilly map with mountains, more rocky. To build village under mountain near river with fort over village.

1) I believe that people had their own small fields behind their houses to grow their own wheat when they were done working for their lord. So while people working at the farmhouse should make crops for you (to use for army and to put in the granary for cases of famine), they should be able to grow their own wheat, maybe paying a small fee for using a mill. 2)I also believe everyone was able to make bread on their own in their homes and didn't need a dedicated house for that, let alone the invention. 3)resources like clay, ore and stone shouldn't be available in absolutely every district. It was quite common that your village had a quarry and neighboring village had a claypit and you had to exchange materials to grow. Would be appliicable especially when all map is just couple km2. 4)I would avoid having roads everywhere from the start. There should be one "main" road, not necessarilly passing through all the districts, and as you expand, you need to make sure your new settlements have access. First you just design a dirt path that pilgrims and merchants will use to get there. It will get wider and flatter with use, you can also assign a wayfarer. Paths will be susceptible to weather and for example will get muddy (=unuable) in rain and create potholes. Also elevation will play important role in efficiency of faring, so you will try to find flattest path at the cost of making it longer. You will need to build bridges over streams and will try to give the road nice pavement to make it more usable (which would also make stone bit more important resource). Having good road network between your districts will be crucial for development as, again, not all districts have all the resources. 5)Why shouldn't you be able to make one time delivery between districts? 6)logging camps should make some amount of firewood as a side product using all the branches of the trees they fell. And firewood camps should use logs as an input resource. Doesn't make sense for them to do the same thing as loggers just to chop the logs a bit more next. Alternatively, I believe people could just pick firewood at clearings to great extent. It didn't have to be institutionalised. 7)finished buildings should assing one family automatically. How much time did I lose finding out that building was finished but noone started working there? All other games have that.

I'm sure this would come to full game. I mean it would make sense medieval times.

it would be amazing if there was a monastery maker like the manor maker

There's another key resource which was crucially important in medieval times: SALT! We need rock salt mines and the possibility to import/export salt, which is not only an important spice, but also crucial for food preservation. Also with bodies of water come willows, which are the prime medieval material for basket weaving. At the current state, this game is just lacking too much important content to be considered more than an expansive demo. Hope development of EA will significantly speed up now that Greg has millions of € at his disposal from EA sales.

thatch could be a great resource for baskets, so people can carry more produce... nice edits. Lake and rivers would also be awesome for a fisher. Anyway i hope they add many more production chains. Something similar to farthest frontier would be great. Also agree with the stone situation. I would like to see the option for mines and deep mines, quarrys etc. and of course many decorations to get details into the village.

They don't have to make a variety for every vegetable but they can divide vegetables into general groups such as leafy vegetables, root vegetables etc. I can't tell the same thing for fruits such as grape which is essential for winemaking.

I love your ideas

They say the game is located in Franconia, so it would be a crime to NOT add ponds. Carp is like our national treasury in the region and dates back over 1000yrs.

My list with the current game would be: 1) Goats: Goats should give both meat and hide. It will supplement hunting and add as a food source. It should also be one of the requirements for lvl1 housing (2 food sources). So meat and berries should be good enough to take us to lvl2 housing(3 food sources) where bread could be the requirement. Lvl 3 housing should require Alcohol. 2) Basic Armor: Artisans should be able to make basic armor of leather without any points invested. Given the limited points we get, the tech tree is a big mess. Points should be for advanced chain mail and plate armor. Also you should have to upgrade the respective artisan plots for each advancements post research. 3) Clay ware: Just making roof tiles with clay is such a waste. Pottery workshops/artisans should be available with options to manufacture tiles, pots or crockery. Tiles are too op at the moment, the rates should be dropped. Pots and Crockery should also be requirements for higher housing lvls. 4) More design options: There should be more design or color options for buildings especially homes. Some town beautification items that add to approval rating (1-2% only per type) that need resources to be built would be great too.

good points mentioned, hopefully will be implemented in the future

Great ideas! These would add to an already great game! I would like to see cavalry as a fighting unit. You need to buy the horses and build a stable to keep them on top of equipping them for combat.

Potatos were brought by the Spanish in the 16th century from South America they did not exist in europe before, European vegtables would be Turnips, Onions, Carrots, Cabbages and Lenses. Specially Onions were part of the regular diet in europe. edit: I would like if you could upgrade the hunting camp into a Pheasantry, these were Places that were speciallized on Phasan hunting and even breed them. For the pond and lake thing i would like it if a plot that is build at a lake would be able to fish or breed goose for meat. Fishing would be cool and is a no brainer in any building game actually.

I would love viking invasions, and they would be really hard and you'd be needed to think differently strategically to survive.

I would like to see way more production chains. It sucks when you have just a few production chains but a ton of people that need jobs.

we NEED maps with rivers and other bodies of water. It would add so much more depth to the game, but also strategic advantages

Are we able to bind 'Rotate Camera' to for example right click yet ?? :-D my highest wish for the game and i'll start playing it when possible.

1:26 Potatoes is a New World Crop! LOL

These edits are insanely good, did you make them?

Great ideas, and great animations. Mostly I like the concept with the rivers, it would add a lot of new techniques for the game. But there where no potatos and no nightligths in the 14. century ;-)

I had no problem producing food in less fertile regions. Between meat, vegetables, eggs, apples and berries I had no problem feeding my people for the first few years. It does require a lot of farming to get a decent wheat yield though. And flax and barley? Forget about it. I hope they implement being able to slaughter sheep for food and hides.

Great Video, great Ideas. Good Job! :) I support all of them!

Love all these ideas!

I have no idea about gameplay so i can't comment on a lot of that, but i do agree this game needs cosmetic items. Specifically cosmetic items of color, because all the shades of brown makes all villages look the same.

Stone could be used to make different types of housing tier 3 or tier 4, etc. Infinite possibilities. The 5th thing about cosmetica i don't agree.. benches and stuff make it very quickly look like a theme park. Thé things added need to be drawn from medieval sources for example travelling merchants, priests, a schavot, hanging poles outside thé city, a news board, horses and mules etc. No benches and no lanterns, except maybe around thé Tavern. Also we urgently need an Abbey as religion was highly dominant during western medieval times. All thé things that could be added with thé Abbey could go crazy next level. For example a prestigious library, apothecary, etc.

Imagine how hard the winter would be if the rivers really would freeze. 😱😅

This game is good, but Songs of Syx is amazing.

I completely agree with you and think all the suggestions are excellent. By the way, very nicely visualised. Ich bin ganz deiner Meinung und finde alle Vorschläge exzellent. Übrigens, sehr schön visualisiert.

all great suggestions. Rivers is top for me

Pretty much everything from anno and the stronghold games, but with the art style of manor lords

Totally agree and i want my calvary and crossbow men!.

Feudal japan dlc or japan sequel would be dream

i wish we have another civ to play or there are near sea maps

Dude, potatoes at 14th century Europe?

Anyone know when the next update is planned?

Top 5 features for planet coaster 2?

There are more important things to do. Assign fields to farmers. Assign eg for coalers to get firewood from next spot and not to go over the map....

You know right that when you build "vegetables" you have a bunch of them.? In Europe vegetables gardens are mixed. Many different types are grown. Showing a carrot is just a way of saying that these are veggies...of course there are cabbages there. And dude. Potatoes are from the American continent... Not Eurasia.... 😂

Rudi, „Life by You“ got canceled by the way…. 😱

I'm probably biased as an artist, but , when using AI, could you please mention it or put it in the description at least ? AI is still a very debated topic and is becoming armful to a lot of creative jobs, therefor, by using it, you dive into a political issue, whether you want it or not. I totally understand and personally thinks it's okay for small content creators to use this stool when they don't have a special talent for photoshoping, drawing etc , or just it simply being quicker (and you're trying to fight against the RU-vid time machine). Although I would have preferred charming (even childish) sketches from you anytime tbh :) My point is please mention it at some point so that your audience is aware of what you're doing and out of respect for the artist community who feels very vulnerable and under threat at the moment. Thank you, have a nice day :)

🤩🤩

potatoes didn't exist during the medieval era

1. for me is Water in general. Coastlines later would be rad of course. 2. for me is COLOR, holy hell it's so bland visually and very unhistorical for the time period since colors were seen on everything in most towns and villages not suffering from plague or famine, lol.

Would be clever to have the goats give milk and meat and not just leather, they are already in the game...

Sorry, can't have potatoes, they only arrived in Europe in the mid to late 1600's. 😆

For the algorithm

There were no potatoes in europe at that time period. Sorry.

Goats and sheep should give meat...as they do in real life.

Echt jetzt, keine Karpfenweiher, das geht in Franken schon mal gaaar nicht! 🤨😏

I need pig and cow!! I love MEAT!!

Top Five? This game needs at least another 20 buildings and a competitive AI opponent(s). I highly doubt this game ever gets complete. It nearly lost 90% of the initial player base. Game is most likely doomed but the Dev made millions so I'm happy for him.

also add more religions. Like judasim christianity(ofc) and islam.
