I don't really think it's a tip, but whatever: you don't have to build wood cutter near trees, hunting lodge near animals, etc. Materials are collected in warehouse anyway. They all start to 'product' at 8 a.m. no matter if they look like they're just going to their workplace. The only exeption are farms. Farmers are gonna physically walk from their homes at 8am to farmland. So it's good to build their houses close to farm.

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!

[Cristallic]

Good video, serioussly. Besides MD information... I am impressed by the video editing and smooth voiceover. Dude, nice skills!

[sunseekerjules]

My Tip: Loot all the boxes you see beside rivers or next to bridges as well as abandoned camp sites in woods. These are a great way to get improved tools but especially early game crop seeds and saplings.

[wgitelman]

i learned that it’s better to have the villagers do all the gathering/ foraging and then at the end of the day, you can mass produce / craft items fairly quickly from the items they collected

[Hellfire]

The best tip is to extend the seasons to 20+ days as that gives you plenty of time to figure everything out and explore the map ....

[brianmcafee]

Don’t rush your village, use the house u spawn it to keep crafting and stock pile items and food. While completing missions from the mission board. Stock pile your money and then start the village

[staticthewhitewolf]

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.

[staticthewhitewolf]

The best 4 wall breaking is the kid in Piastovia who yells

[tomasz]

XP gains perks are actually good. You can level up to the max, then get blind drunk on the Potion of Possibilities and spend the points again, skipping the now defunct XP gain perks :) Potion of Possibilities comes from Herbalist Hut 2, or can be found randomly in loot. Might be sold by NPCs, but I never saw one for sale personally, or just haven't paid enough attention.

[cunningstunts]

I’ve found that building multiple of the same resource buildings such as hunting lodges, woodsheds and mines etc then setting each one to gather just 1 of the specific resources each at 100% seems to be gathering more than having several gather a lower percentage of each item

[joshsetzer]

I just started playing this game, great video. Thank you.

[cajuncooper]

I lost it when he talked about farming being one deer away from being FS1325 lol

[oggrow]

I like the amount of time it takes to make a bunch of stuff. I can get up get a snack and a drink

🌿 Quick Written Tips for Medieval Dynasty (based on the video) 🏰

For anyone who’s like me and loves this era but can’t rewatch the video every time—here’s a quick summary of the main tips Midgeman shared in this super helpful video! Hope it helps you enjoy your medieval adventures even more 😊

🔸 Key Tips from Midgeman’s Video:

🎮 Game Settings Tips:

Adjust season length based on how fast you want time to pass—shorter seasons = less time for fieldwork.

Avoid raising taxes above 100%—it can get unpayable. Set taxes to 0% if you want a more relaxed experience.

Turn off carry weight and enable quick crafting unless you’re after a hardcore grind.

✨ Tip 1: Perk Cap

Each skill tree only allows 15 perk points.

Be careful not to spend too many points on early XP perks—you might miss out on more useful abilities later (like calling your horse!).

Great perks to consider: “Trance” perks and stamina reduction abilities.

📦 Tip 2: Storage Strategy

All storage buildings are linked, so you can access everything from any one of them.

Want to place one near a mine across the map? Go for it—it still connects!

Storage capacities stack—build multiple storage units to increase total space town-wide.

🧑‍🌾 Tip 3: Villager Management

Don’t recruit villagers too early—they have needs!

Only bring them in when you have enough food, water, and homes.

Decorated and insulated houses boost happiness.

Tool type doesn’t affect productivity, so just give them basic stone tools.

🌾 Tip 4: Farming & Crop Planning

Plant orchards early—they take a full year to grow but are key for food and potion ingredients.

Focus main farming efforts on grain and flax—high return crops.

Once you unlock the kitchen, make flatbreads for great food and mid-game cash.

Follow the crop calendar to optimise seasonal planting and maximise yield.



Hope this helps some of you out! Feel free to share your own favourite tips too 💛
Big thanks again to Midgeman for putting together such a super helpful video—so many great tips in one place!
Happy farming, building, and medieval living! 🏡🌞

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.

You can reset your perk points with a potion of possibilities so worth getting the knowledge perk to boost point rate
