Let's Build a Medieval Army - Manor Lords Gameplay

I got early access to Manor Lords and built my first Medieval Army. In this video I share my first impressions from a playthrough.

This begins with the character and coat of arms builder. We then enter our scenario to begin forging our new settlement. Surviving the first year in Manor Lords involves collecting basic supplies, establishing a foundation of homes, and starting to invest in more specialized infrastructure. By the time winter hits I strike out to squash the local bandits. However this conflict soon spirals into a full blown war with my feudal neighbor.

Invicta actually used to be a Total War channel before we switched to focus on documentaries. I still play in my free time and miss being able to share some of the fun. While the plan is still to focus on docuentaries, I figured you all would appreciate some history themed gameplay every once in a while. In this case, covering Manor Lords is very much warranted : )

You're making me feel old here 😅. I still remember the days when this was - exclusively - a gaming channel. Feels like ages ago. A nice throwback though 😉

I could imagine some big game mod in this game where you besiege a castle or some city. In essence, the siege did not last one attack as in TW, but several months or even years. During that time, a literal city of invaders could often be built around the castle. Just imagine if you started classically on the map. They began to acquire raw materials, gradually expanding across the map. Surround the city, cut off supplies. Build small fortifications. Skirmish. Build siege machines and dotho be in time pressure before the enemy army comes. Definitely a mod I'd like to play.

Crazy that one guy developed this (outsourcing some aspects) over 7 years or something.

I've watched a few youtubers play this game, and almost all of them struggle against the larger enemy forces in the beginning. They failed to go after the bandit camps earlier to make gold to hire mercs, and by the time they realize it, the enemy lord have already wiped all the bandits out. But give this game to someone enthusiastic about medieval history and warfare and you immediately dominate the map, lmao!

I honestly wasnt sure how ready this game would be but im so impressed with what i have seen so far and what is yet to come... there have been many let downs but this looks very, very good. Sure there may be slight bugs etc here and there and there may not be a huge ammount of content on release but its already far surpassed some others and i can only applaud the dev for his endless work.

Actually excited about a game for the first time in a long time!

I do love the medievalness of how they march a large host into your lands without an open war declared, just out for a heavily armed stroll

This just shows how much, all of us would love to throw money at creative assembly if only they could give us something. It's crazy, there is a real market niche, such a demand and no supply. Manor lords proves it, do a good job and look.. you don't even need marketing, people are happy to do it for you.

I first saw this game as a preorder on epic games while loading up assassin creed odyssey. Then at like 2am while feeding my newborn I saw legends of total war doing an 8 hour stream. Too long for me. Now I see your most more reasonable length video and I’m blown away.

Thank you for doing this. You’ve sealed my interest on this game. I’ll be doing more research on it and will be looking forward to its release.

When the modding community can do continent spanning campaigns in different historical eras, this mod might actually be the total war killer. I'm also curious how the finished product will handle the late game campaign when you're focusing on kingdom wide issues and large cities/royal armies etc. It's looking amazing so far.

Invicta all up in here using his platform to get early access.
All the power to ya 😂

I hope to see more of Manor Lords from you! A documentary of life in the medieval period! Love this channel ever since Total War Rome 2!

[CarthagoMike]

The video we have all been waiting for

[p.bckman]

I love you taking your time to take in the building scenes at street level, very immersive!

[TheWafflesalsa]

This game looks perfect for fans of this type of game. Can't wait to play it and see how it does... If the combat/strategy mix is right this will be a hit.... sorely needed in this genere

[rayfurinkazan]

If Kingdom Deliverance were an RTS game, Manor Lords would be it!

[saschah]

Happy to see some classic Invicta game footage, but respect also for everything you've built in terms of documentaries! I frequently recommend your channel to friends just entering the sphere of studies of historical warfare 💯

[DannyCurrinton]

this brings back times to the old days when you used to do total war. you know you were the reason i even played total war back then. you gotta start doing more of these videos man
