I am a chronic game restarter. I just started playing yesterday. All I did was build a small house. I already feel like restarting 🤣

One thing I forget when starting to build is to *not* be too efficient with space. When buildings are squared off and placed as close together as possible, it can quickly turn into an urban maze. The buildings start to block out the light and it becomes pretty grim to play in. Allowing space between the road and the building and between the buildings themselves lets you have space for building yards to fill with the decor built into the game.

I appreciate your tips. Some do not apply to my style but others do! I tend to put 1200-2000 hours into games I love, so I set my seasons to 30 days! Haha yes I know it’s crazy, but I’m retired and have plenty of time for long gaming sessions. Also, you can always choose to sleep and skip seasons at any time when you are ready. I just started playing last week and have over 100 hours in! I have a wife, 12 villagers, and a big farm so far, with my first winter approaching very soon. I love this game. Thanks for the videos!

when you start, travel the map and find that one place, reall dig into the fact that you can remove trees and that slopes can be okay within reason, second, when you make a house alter the type of mats you use, stone all the way, that way you can upgrade with limestone, and third, your first villager should be female and a wood chopper, marry her early, she will give you quests to bring in 6 skill people, really op. But of course take your time! Enjoy it, and like he said, don't restart, you'll eventually make so much materials that you can just choose to move anyways... awesome vid!

Indeed, why rush when you can just enjoy the beauty of nature and the unhurried expansion of your possessions. Thank you for your advice!

Wow finally. A "things i wish i knew" video with actual amazing tips and not a rehash of the first 5 things the tutorial tells you. Thanks for these tips. Too many games expect the fast paced style you discourage in this video. It's kinda ingrained in me to push quests hard and powergame. I had already restarted with the intention to slow down and was about to restart again. You saved me, I won't restart again. I promise.

Funny, I've just started a new game on the New Map and that's what I've realized: take your time and let time pass! I would also add: build your 1st settlement as a small test +. That way, if you're unsatisfied after several hours and building, you can always start a new one elsewhere on the map with better plans in head.

There is one thing you cannot make undone. That is clearing forests. If you remove the tree stump, the tree will never grow back, but if you leave the stump, the tree will grow back in a few years. So only remove the stumps if you are 100 % sure you really want to use the land for permanent buildings or farmland. Clearing forests will otherwise leave ugly irreversable wounds in the environment, that frankly just encourages you to restart everything.

Bought the game because I wanted a game that was chill and relaxing after a 12hr shift and Medieval Dynasty is just for that. Your tips really help. You earned a new sub! 🔥👍

What's funny is it never occurred to me to use the fences as aesthetic barricades around the houses you house your citizens in... I settled at the lake to the far southeast of the map and I really like the location. Now I'm going to use some of the space around me to give my villagers a little bit of a yard for their houses lol.

Ive restarted my game in Ark probably over 100 times, i love the beginning of games more than late game play, nowt wrong with restarting your games

Please keep these coming! I’m new to the game bc of Gamepass. Your videos have been so helpful

what I learned this morning, after the 1st year do not travel between settlements without a quiver of arrows.

I love the management screen

Ive been playing the game on n off past few montha....i hav regularly had 2 restart cos my fibro brain forgets a lot of info n v.i.p stuff...but 2 days ago my fella started to play on Xbox...and I wound up helping him out..telling him where to start what to focus on....he is a C.O.D guy thru n thru so it felt good to be the ONE telling him how to play an Xbox game...my main advice is slow and steady...its not a race...gunna make a playlist of ur videos to help him out. Thank you 😊

My problem when I first started was building too fast and building cheap houses that deteriorate quickly. Also having to use the management screen more often than not. Dealing with all that had me creating a new game and doing things very differently and slowly just like his video says. Unfortunately saw this video today and would have been a huge help if I saw it when I was first starting my build. These videos have helped me tremendously… All that said, went back to my first build and putting it in order the way it should be.

Great tips! I’ll be binge watching all the guides haha

Good tips. I have over 2000 hours in MD since I started playing back when it was first released in beta. I played the original map all the through to have my heir's son take over the village. The issue that always makes me restart a game is terrain. Since I've played a game where I reached the max number of buildings you can build (200%), the most critical advice I can give is you must find an area on the map with a huge amount of flat or relatively flat land. Building on hills is a major pain, especially if you want to surround your town with walls. You will constantly get messages that the ground is too uneven to place even simple items like benches, wash tubs, or flower pots. Fields work okay, but other buildings can't be built on very hilly terrain. I had village I built in Oxbow with over 100 settlers, but I had to restart because I simply ran out of buildable space after 80 buildings. I've always played the game with future game enhancements in mind, thus I figured the devs would eventually add some kind of attacks on the village, so walls were a must.

My tip for beginners: Start a new game, turn on infinite stamina and weight and set seasons to 30 days. Now you take some time and just go farming materials for 3-4 hours. After farming you save it. Now you have a save game which you can use everytime you want to start a new game and you won't need to farm again.

Haha awesome video. As always!! Tip 5 was awesome. I learned there WAS fast travel !

My plan is to keep going how I am till the 3rd year at least, I'm currently set at 6 day seasons. Then I'll change it to 30 and find a perfect spot and construct a whole new, more organised village and once I'm satisfied I'll transfer everyone and destroy the old one.

Great video🙌🏻 definitely will help alot of new players out like myself !

Hy man I started Medieval Dynasty today on the PS 5 cuase of your Review vid. Must be honest binning is a bit confusing but going to push through. Thanks man.

Good advice. Thank you.

Sick video man! Keep up the good work.

Oi new comers, if you think of deleting your world due to not happy with your village, quickly activate unlimited carry weight, destroy all your stuff, and move, you don't have to activate infinite carry weight but its less of a headache ❤️❤️ Edit: also no generators not even greenhouses cause they're easy money

Well that is some impresive and well decorated settlement

My survival game instincts kicked in with this game. I thought I had to do everything fast. Once I learned that, the game was much more enjoyable for me.

Slow down - my first and all time favourite tipp I always give new players. Usually they don't listen to me. xD Nice video, well done. 👍

Yeah I expanded way way too fast. I started building everything I was unlocking not knowing I wasn’t even able to cover the property taxes just yet. I’ve taken the time this weekend to slow down and focus what building I have now. Like I just built the pig pen the other day and I spent like 5k in buying a male and female piglet along with adult male pig to create manuer. I’m slowly depleting my task list. No lie I had like 25 things missing from a bunch of places they either needed tools that broke or supplies. But just like you said I’m just taking it one at a time making sure it’s flowing before I even think about adding a smitty 😅

Bout to start playing this. Hope it's good

I actually like to manage my toen. I dont have many people in it yet tho. But I just love it as it is one of the only games where you can actually build recruit and manage. The game Going Medieval is a bit like it too but all topview instead of 1st/3th person

I did buy the game today on sale in the Ps store. It looks really great.

Thank you very much for the helpful videos. Please may i make a request. Video on how to manage a settlement, so many buildings and chests, what goes in what chest, my villagers do not like me atm lol. Need help thanks.

Thanks for the tips new player here playing on Xbox.

I've been playing with 10 day seasons (based on another KZfaqrs recommendation) and it has been great! 3 days per season was just too fast paced for my attention span and my desire to build and plan. Lol

Goodmorning Wish you very happy New Year. I had some questions about the game (depends where I should build my buildings ) Does the Wood collecter be close to a wood ? For more wood ? Does it really take threes away ? Is the distance between work station and there home important Is the distance between work station and storage important ?

Thank you so much!!

Oh I expanded way too fast. I even moved the slider so I could have more buildings. My first play thru in games like these, I use them to inform my decisions. I have 5 Stalls constantly selling food and tools because I build too many and the main storage area is too small, so everything builds up. I know I could back down their production but there production is their leveling. They can't be good at something if they aren't doing it a lot. So things like having pigs produce more manure than my farmers can make into fertilizer now. Which means I normally have to visit the storage building yank a bunch out and process it myself and I tend to take it around with me to sell in town to recoup the coin I expend, but it makes the worker level like crazy. Same thing with the stalls selling product, they level insanely fast as long as they are selling lots of stuff. In a couple days I went to my storage area and noticed there was already 10,000 coin waiting for me and I'm in season 5 I think because there are kids now 4 years old and I have like a week into this game because I'm retired. My questions..... Can you add another main storage area or are you relegated to one? I haven't tried it because I didn't want to break anything and I haven't looked but I'm seriously having difficulty with that storage space filling up with things tools, weapons, logs, clay, etc. I am constantly pulling out stacks of stuff and placing it on the floor inside the building itself. What happens if the Main Storage building is full? What happens, I've come close but I keep going in a removing items. Do the workers stop producing because the storage is full? The one thing I think I would do differently if I did start over. I would put off the village from having kids too early on. Use the first 3 seasons or so to take care of exploring and beefing up your hunting skills, because I got so involved in building that I'm a 10 in everything except hunting. I think I'm at 8 right now. Instead I think I would be more personable by watching them grow. Right now because I expanded so fast, I really couldn't tell you half their names. I've got something like 20 kids between 0 and 4. They need to add a house type called duplex so two men or women can share what is considered one house. That way you can decide who is getting married and such without losing space because of building limits.

I wish management was different. My villagers are just so stupid. "Oh all my hunters need knives because the smithy can only make one a day." So i spend my time making knives. I just built a second one. But that took a while because I needed to build the houses, the second smithy (smithy 2), then realized that I was out of rocks and supplies so another woodshed (level 2) and excavation hurt, and more houses for the villagers. All of this because the hunters cant make a simple tool. My town basically had to have a whole new district (four houses, and 4 more jobs) just because i was tired of making four knives a day. I wish on the screen there was a spot that showed how much / day do you need vs much your villagers are making. It would take figuring out a lot less time and less of a trial and error. With all my villagers, if im not around during a day because of a quest then my entire system bottlenecks at some point. Normally its the smithy because he needs some resources, but I honestly cant figure out whats going wrong. Theres never enough.

Good advises. I have a well operating town, but i'm not satisfied with my town planning. I settled too soon and too close another village. I wish i'd build over a river or near a lake, and most importanly, on flat ground :D My town looks is so inclined that many parts are not buildable :D I'm considering moving elsewere and making a whole migration, house by house since i've no money problem and a lot of ressources to do so. And leaving an abandonned town with no buildings but all the infrastructure in the oldtown :D

After 2 weeks i already started over lol. Wish i saw this earlier ..jeesh My village was just too ugly. Guess i'll have to go back to it and see what i can do

Thanks!

I just started playing Medieval Dynasty a few days ago. Your five tips for a better experience are so helpful! I was hurrying through everything, trying to do all the quests and build the next thing. It started to feel like work. Your suggestion to only use the management screen at the start of each season is particularly useful. I confess that I started my game over after the first year, because I had no clue what I was doing at the start and my village was ugly. Maybe you could do a video on how to build an aesthetically pleasing village from the start, so new players don't make that mistake. 😂😆

Hi. Do you think this lake is a good place to start a village? I’m thinking to move all my village to there because is so pretty! And do you have tips for village design?

i needed to watch this before i played. i set the seasons too long and completed the story really fast and had more than 10 couples housed in year 1.

Thank you!!!!!

My issue is I try to go and do stuff as quick as possible, and then I get overwhelmed majorly with trying to farm and get settlers and such

Thank you for saying to NOT start over lmao. I was thinking about restarting but when you said not to, It reminded me that I tried starting over on my Animal Crossing game and it ruined it for me, I cant even play it anymore. Plus its already my 2nd playthrough because of that one update that was kinda game breaking unless you restarted.

Thanks for the video

I have two days in I restarted the second time I played it I wasn't thinking about restarting ever again it's a grind, just remember to save u never when u going to die and restarting from last saving point is a vibe killer if u grind food , equipment

Great video!!!

My question is when I have the material in the resource storage, can I use them to build in the village directly without carrying the material in my inventory? Nice Video btw keep it up 3>

😊hi thanks for teaching me how to play

Thanks

Great game I really wish you could adjust the timescale tho

I set my taxes to max early on to get the achievement for 5000 coin debt. I owe 15000 in debt and have 92 coins. Restarting my game now.

Hey, cool video. How exactly did you decorate your village like this? I know I can throw objects out of the backpack onto the ground, but how do I move them and arrange them? E.g. the skulls

I just started playing last week. This was extremely helpful. Thank you! Especially tips 1 and 5. Question: Would you say the economy is broken? I’ve seen a lot about making tons of money and that the economy is out of balance. I’m sure there are exploits but I’m hoping there is a risk/reward that doesn’t make the economy tedious and boring in the late game.

How did you make that archery range at 6:15 ?

How much of the early game do i spend doing the story mission and villager missions as they are really not fun and boring

Where would you recommend to be some of the best places to build your village?

I sold like all my ores and other things just to afford a horse. Wanted to reload a previous save and turn them into bars and or gear to make more money. But watching this video I'm not going to restart as one might say

Set seasons to 30days. (After two -or three?- in-game days when you go to sleep you get the option to skip to the next season if you want to) With 3 days I constantly felt like I had to rush things and made the game more of a chore than fun. With 30days it's tons more relaxed. Since you can skip seasons as you like I really see no reason not to set it to 30 days.

Hey i just started playing 2 days ago and ive got about 8 hours game-time. However ive started building my village in an awful location and theres no where near enough space, its on the mountain just behind gostovia and its got no space and very uneven land so the buildings arent easy to place. Do u recommend i start a new game (ik u said not to but…) or should i destroy everything and move to a better location . Btw i have a wife around 15 buildings and 5 workers.

Just started on game pass lol woooooo

Using this video to determine if I get it on my pc or not!

Can you change the buildings locations after you build them or are they set in stone ?

Hi do you need to make winter clothing for your villagers. Thanks

how to light up items on floor?

I found this video looking up “where to find thistle” and there’s no video on it, where do you get it at? Lol

I just started playing last week and I set my seasons to 20 days. My plan is to be a hermit for all of the first year and build a town around a lake with 30 buildings and then once I’ve saved up enough money selling wooden vials I will get people to fill it

Can I just build a cabin and live in the woods for awhile by myself and just hunt and fish and stuff or does the game make me build a village and get villagers?

thankyouu

Ima be fr i sleep everynight in game cuz i thought you were supposed to lol seemed like if he needs to eat and drink hed need to sleep too

When did they ass crossbows , i played since early acess did they add it in that bandit update has that happened yet in out of loop

I just started it and I have no where to place my house 😅

i just subscribed in ur channel bcause u are strange, strange calm voice

How do you get new clothes?

Is the game worth it for the price? Because for the price i could get asterigos for ps5 which is a AA game

Why does this say unavailable on gamepass???

I am about to start a series on KZfaq on this game any tips?

How to your villages get anything done being so spreed out haha

Great game let down by not being able to expand fully. I see the game as being almost a generation builder. Except the building limit is 65. About 35 of those buildings can be houses you can get 4 people per house and then that's it. My city can't get any bigger will properly have to evict a family when my son wants to move out into his own home. So yeah great game until you hit a point you simply can't progress my city is fully self sufficient I literally log on just to walk around in awe of what I've created. Just hope they update the game and make it bigger. Selling your stuff to nearby towns should help that village get bigger there's none of this in game. Something for game developers to think about.

Is 3rd person default?

Oops I restarted before I even watched

Honestly though the way i placed the hunting lodge near my farm i know I'm gonna have to destroy it and not a single content creator said you should have fences for farm animals 😅, now i gotta delete these 1 by 1, oh well more work, could really use help from another real player would be nice

Can you help me I can’t use the workbench

Are there horses? What’s the best way to travel

How do you make money at the beginning

How do I heal? I bought the game on console after watching your video! A tree fell on me when I was cutting it down now my health is super low.

"I promise there is nothing thats ever so important that you cant get it done the next morning. Expect paying your taxes of course." Ah... Just like real life :D

Can you go fishing in the game?

Can you start a family on here ?

So I guess common sense isn't actually too common then? Lol

Thank you for the knowledge, sir. That was a pleasant video to watch. Keep up the great content.

1 tip: Set technology points gathering to 700%. Reaching 10000 points of production is impossible in solo play. Want to play this game forever because you don't know what to do in your life? Me, not.

The saddest things about the game. No option to play as female No vocal story telling.

Why are you playing this game?
