MANOR LORDS | EP06 - NO PAIN NO GRAIN (Early Access Let's Play - Medieval City Builder)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2024
- Manor Lords has been my most anticipated city builder since I first stumbled across it in 2020 - the medieval city builder with RTS combat elements, and an economic system that integrates the two closely... what more could I ask for? This series will showcase Manor Lords gameplay while highlighting how to play Manor Lords, providing explanations for various mechanics and gameplay systems. If you like city builders, if you like medieval settings, and if you like tactical battles, I think you might like this series.

EPISODE 7 IS OUT NOW - ruclips.net/video/GHumJ0aLsHo/видео.html !
If you missed any of the previous episodes, you can find them all here - ruclips.net/video/f16hXx4JRi4/видео.html !
As for today's episode, well - It's about time we took advantage of the fertile soil we've been gifted! Big changes coming to the outskirts of our humble little village today.
Iron town should be your military center, all weapons and gear should be made there
Yeah I like the sound of that!
@@PartyElite "Zwei" should be your region's name. It is the german word for "two" and it sounds very fitting! 👍
Edit: Pronounced "tsvai" If you have issues with it. Plus google translate helps!
I find it amusing that they gave you a year advanced warning and when the brigands appear it's just Steve and his football hooligan gang.
If you have at least 3 fields using crop rotation, you can have at least one fallow field a year and set the sheep to use the fallow field instead of a dedicated pasture for them. This helps the field re-vitalize without wasting space just as an animal pasture.
On the smaller farmfields in this time period. This is true. As there where no pesticides, these fields rely on natural insect balance. The hedges around the fields are the habitats for the predatory insects. These hunters have a limited territory. If the fields get to big these predators won't reach the center of the fields, creating in essence a sanctuary for the crop eating species which in turn will destroy the crops from the center outwards.
Oh man wow I did not know that! Thanks for sharing!
That is really interesting. I hadn’t heard that before. Do you recall where you learned that?
@@lrmunro Somewhere in the late 90ties i came across this nugget of information. There was an experiment in Great Brittain to prove the possibility to farm without pesticides by scaling down farms. Can't recall all the details, but it blew my mind at the time. Wondering why this simple reality didn't completely transform farming. Mind i was a young wildling at that point not fully versed in the intricacies of capitalism ;)
An Oxen pulling a plow would definitely enable much more efficient farming. My grandfather was born in 1894. He used to tell me about reading the bible while plowing with a mule in rural Alabama. He later became a minister and could quote the bible without looking for reference.
For the name of the new town I like "Eisenberg" (iron hill). I mean, there is no hill, but sounds nice and everybody knows how to pronounce it (similar to Heisenberg).
Could be just Eisendorf or Eisenfeld without the hill.
He could make 3 towns very close together in the verge of the 3 confining territories and make the keep so its walls would encompass each of them!
You need to select the box that says crop rotation in the field menu, then you can set up the rotation for three years loop. I.e Fallow, Barley, Wheat
These are like a drug to me. Every time I finish an episode I'm annoyed that the next one isn't out yet lmao
“From the church you can see the sheep”.
Golden.
The flock is being watched and fed. No need for mead....PUN
I really appreciate the slower pace of this series. Very relaxing.
Ah. Another "almost ManneredLord" episode. This playthrough is my comfort series after work.
And that 3rd person moment of the lord talking to the peasant... How I missed you, PunElite. Welcome back.
the word for enjoying times of peace is serene 'emersion'.
Another comment suggested "eisen", but that's not really how village names work in germany. Frequently there is a toponym at the end. Like -berg (mountain), -hut (-hut is for a village/town that serves as a protective outpost. It's also the name for a sturdy hat/cap), -bach (stream), -ach (river), -dorf (village), -au (-au is a riverbank meadow), -bühl (hill), -hammer (hammer), -graben (trench), +fels (rock), -hain (grove) etc.
I'm going to suggest Eisenhut, which is also the german name for a kettle hat (a popular, and cheap, type of helmet).
Long time fan, first time commenter PE. The more I see of this game the more I fall in love with the environments, music, animations and overall aesthetic. There is so much potential here, are there bodies of water in the game yet? Would be so cool to see ice fishing in winter, or fishing boats during other seasons. Potentially water mills along rivers/creeks? The only thing that could make your little village more picturesque here would be seeing it's reflection off a calm mountain lake. :)
This series is so relaxing to watch. Glad the fields are in place, that should help your food variety, and not having to import Barley is a win too.
You have forgotten to turn on crop rotation, you have to select the option (it’s a box under the crop type) when you open the field menu.
This has been my favourite manor lords coverage. Thank you and please keep it up!
Fun fact to win many battles you only had to decimate the enemy army. Decimate (reducing by one tenth) meaning killing 10% of their fighters.
Yeee I'm pumped for the new town idea with the church in the center :D
The music is just amazing in this game❤puregold
Don't forget to actually activate crop rotation. You can select the three-year-rotation for every field! (very cool feature btw.)
And concerning your iron mines: Iron ore is very heavy. It would probably be logical to create tools and weapons from it locally and ship finished products instead of ore. But then again: The know-how for producing weapons and high quality tools was concentrated in regional centers and cities, so both things work.
But maybe your new village is a bit like Solingen in Germany and has become an iron-working center? Maybe they attracted a lot of specialists from elsewhere through subsidies?
Love the series so far. You are a great entertainer and truly talented in your craft.
The music is so soothing
it's like watching Picasso paint
Darn - roads galore!
A real village of up to about 200 houses would be along one road, or if it was at a junction, 3-400 houses!
I live in one with over a thousand inhabitants and exactly three roads. The church is on the least significant one, right at the edge of the village, with the four pubs (one developed into an inn) spread along the most significant road.
People build houses - and especially those they want to trade from - on roads out of preference and only add more roads when the distances become really onerous, or to place a windmill on high ground, which existing roads tend to skirt around.
Taverns or pubs were originally one room added to the brewery owner's house, with maybe one in the village becoming an inn, with rooms or even just beds to rent to travellers. The scaling just seems to be off in this, with all the buildings taking up way too much space, and the distance across each territory only being large enough for a village to fill, with no heathland, forest or field space around it. Nearly all mills back when this is set would have been watermills, so villages were on or very close to rivers and streams. Windmills are harder to build and much more expensive to operate, as they had to be able to turn into the wind and had to be away from the watercourse the village would have been sited on, for a water supply and hopefully some fish. So supplying water or ale to the miller and his family was very difficult.
It would be nice to see more times where you put your person into your town to walk around to get a better feel of it
For an american player your doing not to bad, for some time and region accurate info on town building I suggest you watch ‘One proud bavarian’, you will learn alot about how things where done realistically. Love the channel, you’re doing great dude!
Loving this series! Nice to wake up to a new vid every morning.
Looking at 26:26
I know you said that you plan on doing a montage of the shot at the end of the playthrough, but you could consider doing that as part of your intro to the episodes. Kinda like a "recap from the previous episodes".
Another fab episode! Iron settlement would be cool to have as it's own wee industrial centre for iron. I think that fits in with industry towns of the time, if I'm remembering Time Team episodes correctly. So good to see the farms going in, seeing how it's all working is really cool, particularly getting down to ground level to see those new implementations 'in person' as it were.
Keep up the quality Lording Party, always excited too get home and watch whenever a new episode drops.
Loving the playthrough, can’t wait to try manor lords myself. Hyped to see what the future brings, hopefully maybe a castle even. Game has so much potential
Expand the houses with the veggies. More families in those mean more veggies planted and harvested.
New subscriber here. Must say the quality of your videos are next level!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
am loving this series.
note to the echonomy, you should probably look at importing food, the regional wealth is so big there is literally no reason not to supply the people with their needs
Ould be nice to build more houses around the market/church to make it more like medieval city
Nice to a clear answer on the archers 🏹
I like how the mercenary units have your "PE" symbol on their company flag :)
27:25 Some of you will die but that's a sacrifice i'm willing to make - Lord Farquaad
You can almost imagine Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance walking in this field.
i use these as my asmr study sesion
Loving the content
Imagine how much the medieval people appreciated a good meal vs today when everyone can run to a restaurant or grocery store whenever they get hungry.
Thumbs up just for the grain joke alone.
Loving this series
Loving the moments of contemplation.
Makes me wonder if it'd be possible to let the player play as any of the villagers in 3rd person view, and perform their actions manually so that this villager gets a boost in efficiency in that job.
Great video!
I really liked the mercenaries banners
Game looks so good, thanks for the preview
What is the burn field option on your fields? Is there disease that can happen?
I'm thinking rename your newly claimed town to Zweihammer. "Zwei" translates to "two" and, shockingly, "hammer" translates to "hammer" :) since you'll be doing smithing there, and since it's your second area, Zweihammer works.
love this game
Woohoo!! Another Manor Lords video!!
That fallen tree looked like a bug to me. It was way taller than the other trees.
You should place roads on 2 or 3 or 4 sides before you plop down new structures. Otherwise you won't have alleys and crossroads and end up with blocky clumps of buildings like on the bottom left housing section.
On another note you might want to place army roads that help you speed to the edges of your region
Dear party. Have you noticed apples are not being used in any markets? They are not suppliers of food turns out it is a glitch. If you make them something else you will get more actual food.
IF I'm correct those development points apply individually to each land you control, so the land you're about to claim will have none of that and you can focus on what you want for that land spoecificly. So you can have an apiary and other tipes of tech in other specialized lands as you conquer and grow them.
On another topic, I think I saw a tech where you can raise sheep on your fallow fields to increase you fertility and it's something I think is pretty cool now that you actually have fields...
I'm thinking that those fields are gonna need to be plowed first. Strikes me PE might regret not getting family in there ASAP to get on with that.
Could you add a family to manage the stable, would it make the construction go quicker?
I think you should put a handfull of families by the iron deposit to work exclusively there (and a horse). Imagine having to walk from the town to the mining pit, then come bringing all that iron by foot to the town... No. Definetly, put a handful of families with a place to store all that iron... Maybe you put the blacksmith there, but that, I think, is a bit too much. It's a faraway colony and it is very unsafe. You don't want top lose your blacksmith if it gets attacked, right? (I know that won't happen at least until the end of the game but thinking about it in roleplay terms...
With chickens you should get chicken to eat not just eggs. Same with sheep you should get lamb and mutton to.
I'm surprised the farm house doesn't act as, well, a house?
Really enjoying this series! Cannot wait to get my hands on this game! Will it be on the gamepass on release day? or will it be delayed a little?
Should have a road connect your town to the other town as directly as you can.
Keep it up!
17:00 that would be pretty crazy if they did haha lol
Hey Party Elite, few years ago you got me hooked to WR:SR. And now it seems like the same will happen for this game. I still need to buy it though. Your series is brilliant, you have an excellent narrators voice and I love how you build the town organically. I live in old Dutch village with a castle nearby and I find your layout quite authentic. Thank you for the great series!
Thank you for the kind words! And that's good to hear about the authenticity - I was starting to worry!
@PartyElite BTW I heard (and I'm not 100% sure that's true) that if you give your vassals large burgage plots with big backyards and you give them orchards and things like that, and especially if they get market stalls, you make the family occupied with that "family agriculture" and they don't work on other things you need. Is that true? I do sometimes think you have a lot of houses and families and I'm constantly surprised with how little workforce you have when you need it. IDK, maybe take a look to see if it's true, I'm not sure.
Great video, but make your militia fight, they gain experience and you keep your cash towards increasing precious retinue :)
Oh crap! I am almost caught up with the video series. What will i do now?
Ironholm for the new province.
just dieing to play this game, your videos are helping us train how to get the game going when we start, i would like to say you said you werent going to stick to a grid and i feel your houses are kinda grid like, have some side roads and houses facing different directions but thats me being picky lol
also curious if you have a squar house plot of land woth just 1 house would it still be able to have a large garden/ orchard or does it jave to be the long back yard?
thanks again for the videos and jealous i cant play right now
(For the record readers, 1 Morgen is almost 2 acres. "No Pain No Grain am I right"?" *Shakes fist, gives a hate-like* Why I outta....)
What’s under the policies and procedures tabs in the “upgrade” panel? I see all the cool stuff in development such as heavy plow, but what about the other two?
Man, i can't wait to get to play this...and im not a big fan of this genre AT ALL, it looks and feels amazing...
I suspect that the windmill efficiency comes from the hight of the terrain. Like you need a hill or something so the wind will be stronger. I may be wrong, I'm only theorizing. Either way, maybe you could put it close to your manor? IDK, just spitballing here...
also could be based off being near trees az he put them closer the % went down and in clearing was 100%
Do you know if the military units travel faster via roads? Forests slow them down considerably
Zweiau is pronounced: ts why au 🙂
Name Suggestion: The new region should be called Raudkaev. Story Time: Some of the settlers to the new territory came from the east. Many did not speak the tongue and one spoke for many. When the lord asked why they came so far they all stated the same reason, raudkaev. The towns name was ultimately decided by this new blood from the east. Raudkaev is Estonian for Iron Pit (Note: I used Google Translate for this so if you find a more accurate translation use that instead).
I wonder : each family you assign to a granary or storehouse has a cart or is there only one cart per granary / storehouse ?
Does constructing around the windmill not lower it's efficency further?
Since we're seeing battles, how do you form your own pro regiments? I know there's a manor building that provides some but from what i saw it's like 5 people or something...
I would argue that people could easily see where plants grew well and where they grew poorly. I'd argue they would use poor soil for other things, like housing, storage, etc. In fact I'd argue it's us that ignore such things these days, with our big machines made for efficiency of human time rather than micromanaging the terrain. Plus we use fertilisers, insecticides, and pesticides to get around fertility issues.
I mean more about "extremely hard lines" - we definitely would have a general sense of "these things grow here, these things grow there", but I don't think the hard lines should dictate the boundaries of the fields for the sake of what would probably realistically be "blurred lines"
@@PartyElite I think it comes down to how we're imagining it. If we're thinking the infertile areas have different coloured soil, going uphill out of a fertile floodplain, straying closer towards a rocky outcropping, etc. Compared to if we're imagining it as all looking pretty much the same without clear transitions.
But your argument certainly does make sense.
Are farm houses counted as house too? Thats how it should be but just wondering incase you have to have a normal house to get family for farm.
Hi
Loving your vids and the game so far
But can you tell me can you make many towns in 1 section and name them all different or if you was to make 2 or 3 small towns in 1 section there all be under the 1 name thanks
I know this doesn’t help any coz I’m a month behind but still, don’t you have a free space for an ox in one of your stables??
I think the main iron goods production would grow around or near the mine itself.
Maybe you can make an artisan/mining village near the deposit, and import food from the main town (or even create a food production village later)
The new region should be called Eisen, which means iron
everything is realistic except the pasture system
that size of pasture won't feed 30 sheep for one day
pastoral life is semi-nomadic. graze grass of one area then move to next area
When will you challenge the baron its seems he has along reign before any thing happens. He will like 90 when u challenge him 😂😅
Can you build a castle?
i still don't understand why everyone does those long gardens when needing space for it, wouldn't making a huge square then lower the building density look better ? Right now those look like late 1800 early 1900 european mine/factory worker housing
I was wondering this too if you make them square shaped with only one house will ot still yield a large garden/ orchard
I feel you are bottlenecked on growth. Maybe build 5-10 houses and see if that helps
Watching you pay for an army, send them 90% of the way then get distracted building for over a month is kind of painful
That raider attack was... underwhelming. I was expecting at least double the number of brigands you fight at a camp, but no, it was pretty anticlimactic for as long as that timer was ticking down.
Buy more oxen
Zweiau meaning Two meadowsbis a silly name. Eisenberg would much better.
This game can't release fast enough.
Gotta buy a new PC....
Such waste.
Mercenaries for 6 months moved to centre of area and have Them ready for any bandit camp on demand to get rid of swiftly...
