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.

Don't rush into building backyard gardens early game. Your hunter and gatherers will make more than enough food to start you off and harvesting gardens takes up workers. Plan for the gardens for later and add them as needed.
Build the plank station ASAP! Planks will be needed to build the church, which will give you a massive boost in happiness so more people will move in earlier.
Don't add the second dwelling to your houses too early. Instead make a street of five small homes, housing just one family each, with a small space at the rear. These will soon become your level 2 homes. Make sure the market is closer to these homes.
Most important tip - Get the second ox ASAP! It'll half your build time. Use your initial 50 coins to buy an ox (20) and then two gardens (30) to backup your food supplies.
Build your manor early! As soon as you build the manor you unlock taxes which will give you a constant supply of wealth.
Don't exhaust your iron, stone and clay deposits if they are not rich. They will eventually run out, and bandits will take their goods from your storage. Juggle workers to only mine when needed. If you have a rich iron deposit, definitely invest in the deep mining perk. This will give you an unlimited supply of iron, which can be turned into tools and weapons for your military or to sell for big money.

My first tip would be: buy your second ox immediately

I’m so glad the final tip wasn’t: “have fun, at the end of the day this is a video game”

Tip #14 is something I was completely unaware of. Even a trickle of incoming planks is better than none.

My 2 start tips: build the first 5 houses with a large backyard for vegetables and you are set for next years to not starve. Get a second hitching post and ox instantly.

That a fantastic list of tips, thanks Egg 🙂

A helpful tip for anyone struggling to learn the game is that your firewood is depleted faster if you have more houses, but after you have drawn out your plot to build a number of houses you can click the "-" button to remove houses which will free up space to add additions onto your houses.

Simply speaking, instead of building 10 houses that only hold one individual family, you can build 5 houses that hold two families. That way you have the same amount of labor force, but only have half the firewood demand.

I have played it for 8 hours today on release day I love it so much. It's like city skylines, but with wars. And armies, I love it. I can't wait to see how much better it gets

Im not going to sleep this weekend! Thanks for the tips, Mayor Lord Egg

For tip 20, put your archers forward until the enemy comes near, you'll get more use out of them that way.

We're ready for tomorrow : LAUNCH DAY ! Thanks Lord Egg

[goldfingershat]

This game is so deep and interconnected I love it

[Scarter]

My tip is to make double roads for main routes. I've seen people, carts, and oxen get jammed up if they are trying to move between buildings.

[Leann-n]

Amazing video! and yes eggs OP indeed. For 7:25, 25, once you get to 75 people will migrate twice as fast. Please let me know if I'm wrong, hope there's more videos coming.

I'm gonna sink some time into sandbox first to grab a comfortable reins on the mechanics before I jump into the rtbs... I know this game is beautiful but one of my pet hates for games is when there is a day night cycle but the game play and mechanics don't change, if people spent evenings doing leisure activities and night time sleeping bringing your production to a stop I'd be more into it... awesome video egg can't wait for manor lords episode 6

[rustyryan]

Thanks for the tips. The game is beautiful and very entertaining. Can't wait to see what they do with it over time. It's already awesome.

First time I upgraded everyone to artisans super fast, so I had no supplies and they were all literally wandering around the town sitting in front of their houses blabbering away about their impending starvation. Literally taking the “that’s someone else’s job” cliche to a fatal extreme.

[FrankiestFrankFrank]

Any tips to not play this game from sun rise to sun set?

[rexquite]

Sitting here on steam waiting for it to be ready XD 😂😂😂

Less then a hour and sitting here like


Hurry up!!!!

[bellatrix]

Thought I’d get ahead of the game and get it downloading before work. Turns out the UK release time is 2pm <sob>
