Manor Lords: TRADE Is VITAL!

Today, we are continuing our playthrough in the world of Manor Lords as the newest update brings RIVERS, FISH, PIGS and many other things! Let's build historical villages while we talk a little about the history of the period depicted in the game!
Our previous playthroughs:

Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord. Grow your starting village into a bustling city, manage resources and production chains, and expand your lands through conquest.

Inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords prioritizes historical accuracy wherever possible, using it to inform gameplay mechanics and visuals alike. Common medieval tropes are avoided in favor of historical accuracy, in order to make the world feel more authentic, colorful, and believable.

OneBlindBavarian vs the iron deposit in his region (it's standing extremely still to avoid being spotted)

45:24 "i may have to put more people in the communal oven" - One Proud Bavarian 2024

The settlement's name should be Heimlichstahl. Cause the iron is so sneaky you see.

The baron claims land using influence just like we do. Basically he’s taking all the lands because you are letting him wipe out all the bandit camps which provides influence, instead of doing it yourself. On my current play through I proactively took all the bandit camps before him and claimed every region before he could even take 1

45:23 Hold up... wait a minute... something is not right!

Hang on, in the first video you told us about how you wouldn't build the church on the banks because the bodies wash away and now you are building a corpse pit right on the bank? :')

Pigs are often used to keep the soil of orchards healthy, even to this day. Win, win! Pigs get old apples or whatever, the farmer gets more productive fruit trees.

You almost hovered over the iron deposit in your region MULTIPLE times

So I am gonna need these daily lol. I do love these videos. It has insipired me to start a new city on this new beta atch. The only real issue im having is the pathfinding on the river map sucks. Traders, sheep, and civs keep getting stuck. But overall its a great patch. Cant wait for ur beautiful cities!
PS:I love ur history talks!

Hi! I'm polish and i'm interested in slavic names of villages and how germans were germanizating them. Here are my propositions:
Let's say, that this village is not in Sorbia, but in Ober Schliezen (Dolny Śląsk), where polish rulers were colonizating this region with germans.
* Schwinaren - germanizated version of Świniary. This "ary" at the and means village of people, who where producing something for prince (polish "Osada Służebna") - "Świnia" means pig, so they were producing pork.
* Lankau - germanizated version of "Łęka" which in old polish means meadow nearby river, perfect for localizations of your village.

Me: OPB is already a great content creator, smart and funny guy, talks a lot about history (one of my bachelor's degrees), roleplays most of his gameplays and creations, and also have a big focus on strategy games (which is my favorite genre), so yeah, there's no way I can like him even more than I already do

OPB: *It's always sunny reference*

Me: oh my god...

[faara]

Can we call this village, ,Wieprzowinki"? It's polish - literally, ,Pigs village"

[killerlork]

The importance of international trade to elites in the medieval period becomes much more obvious when you go towards the coasts. In places like Bruges you have giant engineering projects to dredge up the inlets to get as close to the city from the sea as possible, and there was even a part where you had to swap your goods onto or off a canal boat to get them into or out of the city.

Name Suggestion:

I grew up close to a small town called "Nassau" in the northern parts of rhineland-palatinate. As the name implies it is close to a small river and has a lot of wet meadows (Aue). And if you have a bit of Imagination it also works with the pigs: Nas-Sau....wet pig (i know IT IS Missing an S) 😄

love it, your the best manor lords youtuber

[dennisfiring]

Nice one again, gradualy becomming a propper village.Looking forward to the next episode.
Others have already pointed this out, but you do have iron. Just follow the path past the berries. On the horses/oxen ordering. One can see if they are comming or not. In the stables/hitchingpost popup, on the livestock tab. The animal portrait and name will show. If the activities is 'following' it means the animal is on route outside your town. If the portrait is normal you can click on it and find it on the map. If the portrait of the animal is faded-out somewhat it indicates the animal is on it's way but still off the map.

LOL, Sunny in Philadelphia ref, gotta pay the troll toll!

You should get the bakery extension asap!! it converts 1 flour to 4 bread. The communal oven just bakes 2 bread from the same amount

[schlauauslander]

I love your videos OPB! I own Manorlords but I don't want to burn myself out before the game is finished so I'm keeping up and getting my fix through your playthroughs! I'm also the learning history of my ancestral Germany along the way. (American, don't claim to be German, just descended.)

Keep it up homie!

[michelgehrke]

40:00 Bakeries are the far better upgrade imo, because they produce twice the amount of bread from the same amount of flour compared to the communal oven. You can handle fertility by crop rotation and would need almost 1000 sheep for the other development point anyways.
