Great video, and great recommendations! Just a few things of note: Fast Crafting - Not a big deal to leave on, it really only takes a couple seconds to craft items, and does not heavily impact game play. Perk Cap - Talents are capped at 15 points, but there's a potion that you can craft at the herbalist hut that allows you reset your perk points and reconfigure; so does not limit you in what perks you can purchase. Not a big deal to use 3 perk points on knowledge until you cap that talent.
For those struggling to customize their village, don't forget to have your hammer equipped and "out"-- you can then hover over beds, chests, rafters, walls, etc. and customize by holding select. Also, here are the materials I usually prioritize when starting out (bonus if you can have villagers focus on these): logs, planks, stone, straw, flax, wheat, meat, and leather. Use the Demand Screen, and you can have villagers use sticks and logs for firewood so carpenters can focus on logs and planks (I'll usually build two woodsheds immediately). For mid game, and similar to Skyrim lol, making bronze knives help with earning money. I like building smithing stations outside of mines (keeps bandits and bears out by having a building there too). I love this game- love to see the community growing!!
I've been playing MD for awhile now. I remember when the trees didn't try to kill you. :) Done the speed thru trying to get everything quickly. Now I've slowed down and actually play to enjoy every step. I have an unspoken role playing thing inside my head and have backstories for my villagers. I know it sounds weird, but it has been so much fun. Or maybe it's just my pain meds talking lol For beginners, I recommend playing in the Valley first. It kinda shows you what to do without being too "handholdy". Just one persons opinion. But then again, they say an opinion is like an a*&hole, everybody's got one! Enjoyed the video. Would love to see more!
Caught offguard you recommend stone tools, they just break all the time, 'speccialy sickles and pickaxes. Also those 2 have higher extraction rate so I expect it improves productionrate of villagers aswell. But then, I havent done any actual testing and, I RP as the village smithy so do not have this building staffed. Is that then the differance? When automated it doesnt matter what material-tools you make for the villagers? Thanks
The big house in Paistovia has a nice chest you can loot after the homeowners leave in the morning. Just remember to sell to red loot in other towns. It helps you feel better about the abuse Lord Maximus Farquaad throws at you on the first day.
You kinda eluded to it with the crop rotation. Imo the best crops to start getting are oat and rye. They work perfectly together on 1 field. Another great food source, vegetable soup! It takes 2 ea of the four veggies and a reusable bowl. It’s #12 on the food pri list and it’s worth 90 food and 30 water! If you are able maintain production for your ppl, you can remove meat as food, and have your hunters get more valuable things like fur and leather. Last tip, in the early game, if your working on getting into farming and need fertilizer. Use the compost bin. Food rots if left in the floor at a 1:1 ratio. In a compost bin, it’s rots at a different ratio. Like meat and cabbage will rot at a 1:4 (meat:rot) ratio. Ea food item will rot at different ratio, like berries will still rot at a 1:1.

Oh the potion is a really good addendum - I didn't know that!

That's offensive to Farquaad
You can reset your perk points with a potion of possibilities so worth getting the knowledge perk to boost point rate
Great tip 💪🏻
I lost it when he talked about farming being one deer away from being FS1325 lol
Gee whizz i now feel like a professional at Medieval Dynasty 😮
Like you weren't already
I dont think ive even heard of this game, but now I know!
There's multiple in the series, they just announced a Viking Dynasty too
@@Midgeman Oh shit, pog

Might be one you'd enjoy!
What's the best bow?
In my opinion the Composite Bow

My go to for ages when I first played was pottage, purely because I had so many cabbages, but you're right - vegetable soup is pretty king!
You know there is a potion in Herbalist Hut that let's you reset perk points any time?
I would like to see a money guide, so I can earn enough to be let out of the basement
8:58 is this you creeping around after dark Modge???
@Clari3199 😈
He haunts me
The best 4 wall breaking is the kid in Piastovia who yells Kaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeee haaaaaaa mehaaaaaaaaaaa.
I like the ones who quote Skyrim / Assassins creed
nah, it's the npc who calls himself an npc , and gives you a "quest" quest
@@boburrides Yup fair thats a good one
Roasted Fish for money, you're welcome.
Oh, We poggin now.

Here’s another tip. You can cook 50% raw meat and get 100% cooked meat
