hello

I appreciate the entertainment and knowledge

historical, a lot of these plots of areas were in a constant fight with their regional administrator about the rights to divide the area for a brother. This came up, when a growth of population and food production on the same area of already fully used farmland happen followed oblivious with the overpopulation of this area and the attempt of big families to divide themself into the former used old system of a family. It should be highlighted, that in these times the family-father (oldest first born man and owner of property) was more or less the king of the rest of the family, brothers were more or less serfs, who were only allowed to marry with acceptance of the older brother and these oblivious receipts for tensions in a family increased, if the household becomes a 3-4 generation household with only one ruling family line and other younger brother lines of people, who were treated like serfs. The church for example didn't allowed the divide of their "Parzellen". So the younger brother lines had to buy from their own money a new plot from the church. These problems happen a lot around the area of the 30 years war, because prior to it happen a population boom and increase of wealth for farmers by more productivity of their goods. This backstabbed, when the nobles started to use more efficient ways to tax their people (explicit in catholic bavaria) and when the war destroyed the ability for the farmers to remain wealthy. It was a strange time with large areas being depopulated by the war and other areas having A LOT of small plots of property, who were not able to feed these people. They were just attractive, because they were protected or far away from roads => army movements.

If you are looking for names for the New town, here are a vew suggestions: "Mühlenberge" after the prominent hill the mil is lokated on "Neunwalde" after the forest, the setlement was founded in "Hain" , the name for a forest, wich was used for religious acts by the non-christian slavic inhabitans of the region. In Saxony there is a town called Großenhain (Former Hain) wich was the location of a monestary back in the middleages. Bevor that, there was a Hain lockaded there.

Wow! Never heard about 'ostsiedlung' till this video..I'm originally from Czech and don't remember them teaching us anything about that (touchy subject I guess, with all the sudetten stuff that happend) all hush hush

Truly the Manor Lords dream

Just as god intended

And a 12 lane highway

@@rowbot5555 eagle noises?

Hell yeah brother!

Gekoloniseerd. In dit geval letterlijk het oosten gekoloniseerd.

I am but a simple knight but I see only a dragon to be slain.

@@TheCivonyBecket replace dragon with sea and you got a Dutch knight

@@ManisBani-Ani I prefer my knights spanish 🤣

@@TheCivonyBecket hahahaha you know the Dutch fought the 80 years war against the Spanish right?

Was just about to comment something like this, instead I'll just add that there were even companies in Europe who appealed to Europeans particularly Irish and Germans at least for Texas and promised them land if they moved to the frontier. Many of those people may have only ever seen it once if at all (and a few were even scams) but many created small societies of ethnic Germans here in Texas

Only thing I would add is that we did have developers/investors/religious communities that would settle an area and invite others to join them. These could be considered "professional city builders". Holland Michigan is an example of this, along with Salt Lake City and Omaha Nebraska.

The few times a sort of incentive to bring people to an area happened were things like the Oregon Trail and people competing over the routes and resupply forts and such.

@@TheVillain29 On the subject of those companies, there are places in Ohio where hundreds of Guatemalans were imported in the 50s and 60s to work in local factories. There's now large communities of ethnic Guatemalans who've been born and raised in the most northerly of states that continue to prosper and grow.

@@AlphaNumericKey that's interesting, I actually didn't know that thank you 👍

Spoken like a true german

His sense of humor is gonna keep me watching for sure!

I agree, I know it's probably more work what with the models and textures and animations and all that but it really does add a whole lot to the atmosphere of the game.

I don't think I'd really say it's the freecam. I think there is a "normal" freecam as well...? The walk-about (what I think you're talking about) is a cool thing, but sadly, I think it, for many of us, opens the door to us thinking "now, if only I could fight...! Or go inside that building...!" If the collision with fences, buildings, and even the other folk wondering around your town, work, I think I'd be wholly happy with it though.

Honestly I think 2 early. I've almost seen enough that I feel like nothing will surprise me now.

11 more days 😔

@Wiiillllson151 I think just getting your hands on it will be an experience itself. We see these dudes play but it'll definitely hit different when u dabble on it.

@@Wiiillllson151that’s kinda on you. If you don’t want to be spoiled that much, don’t watch that many videos on it. If you want surprise, don’t watch any of the early release videos.

@@purpledevilr7463 OH I have stopped watching most of the content on this. All I'm getting at is that releasing it to content creater so early is likely going to have a negative effect. I wanted the game straight away but after algorithm bombarding me with yterz lining up multiple streams days ahead of doing them and rinsing it so far ahead of releasing it I'm now probably just going to wait. I can imagine it will have the same effect on others as well. I get the need to build up hype but they should of given to them like 3-4 days ahead of release or a week max. Hype was at it's peak 2days ago and had it released then it would of ease sold a million copies. I'm rooting for the game don't get me wrong but imagine this..... You like this person and want to ask them out but your m8 beats you to it and you get the chance to see what they are like. Then your m8s like...Nah they ain't for them and suggest you give it a shot but they just spent the last week parading them around showing you the pros and cons. Now sure yeah You want a turn but for now I've seen enough and you're curiosity has dropped significantly and you will probably wait for now. PC players are fickle people and trend chasing consistently so you got to capitalize at the right time.

this was what i was about to comment until i found yours. its more beneficial to put a logging camp down and pre-clear an area instead of vanishing an entire forest, loosing the timber, and feeling bad that the game doesnt do something you couldve done your self. At least the way its implemented allows the choice for people that want the fast instant villages or the slow methodical and realism focused players.

In the medieval times people just burned the forest if they needed the space to be fair. It was mainly done for clearing the space for agraculture, since the wood woud be used for houses if you whant to bild, but if you are short on time it coud do.

@@stefankatsarov5806 No, they did not. Burning does nothing to root out well, the roots, and that is what you need to clear in order to plow, and it was all about the plow in this period. Vast stretches of forest were still uncleared beyond the medieval period in many parts of Europe because clearing out land takes such a long time. In the game Ostriv clearing forests takes not years, but decades, or even centuries. Realistic, but it can get quite frustrating!

@@stefankatsarov5806 they burned the forest down because it fertilized the ground and made it very fertile.

@@Smilemonster1912 That is impressive! So burning trees down fertilizes the ground AND makes the ground fertile?

YUUUUGE isnt it?

That's not a rolling r, though. Germans don't do that. It's more of a Spanish thing. I love how he changes to german pronunciation in the middle of his talking!

@@jaimeromero84 also a prussian thing or in certain german dialects

@@jaimeromero84 even in some bavarian words

@@jaimeromero84 Who said anything about a rolling r?

Many medieval granaries were built like you say, the whole building sat a foot or two off the ground on stone stilts that mice would have trouble climbing up.

Also to note there were “Boom” towns that settled along railroads or built railroads through them to attract people as well has making outrageous claims like having gold in their hills or rivers to get people to come and work them. Though they were far less efficient than Lukator’s since quite a few of the “Boom” towns quite literally died off…

The closest thing to locators would be specialised advertisers that, for a small fee from a town, would advertise them as prime settlement locations to new immigrants in the east.

Jesus Christ be praised thank you so much for this. I knew that I heard that one specific track beforehand but I couldn't remember the exact origin so I listened the Cantigas de Santa Maria up and down just to be disappointed. Now I am FINALLY released. It's "Cuncti simus concanentes" to be specific

@@fridericusrextard That's the one! Fellow Jordi Savall enthusiast?

Yes the Chor and Heiligtum face the east not the Front.

Oddly specific

Mmm, dollar generals even🤑

It's not really a folktale; for all we know, Johnny existed, there are records about him, from his birth to his death (and will). Granted, a myth abouut him is a bit wrong in details (he didn't just planting trees ahead of settlers; he was planting nurseries in compact with one or couple locals, and then was selling the trees, not nurseries itself). He left in his estate about 1200 acres in a couple of different states that he owned.

100% I’d love to build an Italian or Spanish or Portuguese medieval city

@@knobjockey6882 there was so many big cities in the latin countries during medieval period. While Rome dropped its population and became a small town due to invasions and wars, the other cities like Milan, Florence, Ravenna had a rrelatively good period. In the south instead there was islamic occupation. Especially in Sicily. Palermo and Syracuse was some of the big cities around. But they was also receiver of some arab like architecture. So models would necessarely be changed. Venice was a city of itself, a city-state, gothic, so not that different from nordic style, but still Italian Same goes for Spanish, Portuguese cities. As for Greece... It would just be a dream being able to rebuild Constantinople...

I believe that mod support is planned in the future. I imagine a lot of moders passionate about the middle ages will be creating mods that let you change the look of your villages.

@@christinacosta4257 I hope that too. ✌️

the devs confirmed that more water sources are coming in the early access like ponds and small lakes. they are also working on having a map on the coast.

This was the case for the town I grew up in in Colorado. A company was established in Ohio to sell plots on a plan and people would buy them for homes and move there sight-unseen. I think this happened layer than all the homesteading that others have mentioned. My town wasn't founded until around 1905.
