Thanks for the support on these manor lords video again! I got some other ideas im working on now! 1 more of a silly challenge then after that a no trade run on the hardest difficulty!

I like your idea of keep playing this town and filling out the entire tile. Once you hit 6000 you've got the third biggest town in England at that time

beware, raiders can sneak through trees, so its better to have empty space around your town

You know a game is good when you already start formulating plans on how to play it even before it was released

Pro Efficiency Tips: 1) Your markets don't have to be close to the houses (resources FROM markets teleport to houses, they are not carried) but they do need to be close to granaries and storage for clothing and firewood (resources going TO the market does get manually carried). 2) Break up your farms to increase efficiency. Same farm area, just broken up into several smaller adjacent farms. That way, when your oxen are plowing, your farm workers can simultaneously work on other plots instead of just waiting for the oxen to do the whole thing solo. Also, in the even that you don't have enough time to finish the whole thing in the season, instead of the whole field being wasted the sections that did get finished will be producing. 3) Build your city over the least fertile land in the region. Build small hamlets around resources, such as iron mine, smelter, and blacksmith all close together, and assign the nearby home's families to those jobs. Assign families to jobs close to their house whenever possible. 4) Have multiple storehouses and limit the resources they can store there to only the ones that are produced near by. This prevents resources on the other end of the region being delivered to storage that is far away from the production places that need them. 5) The size of the backyard for houses does not matter to goats and chickens, they will produce the same regardless of yard size, so long at it has one. Larger back yards do increase production for things like vegetable and fruit. So, reserve your larger backyards for planting.

You can choose the amount of building when placing residential, right next to the build button there's a + and - sign that allows you to increase or decrease the densitt, allows for larger gardens so you don't have to build those looooong gardens. Also, the guard towers snaps to the walls so if you want to to look better, on the planning phase, you can build first the wall at the furtest you can, then put the tower, then continue the wall, then tower again and so on.

900+ families and it's hardly lagging at all... yeah. Really good!

For a Challenge: Build Historically Accurate

for dev notes, it seems that once you get an established town, resource management and money doesn't feel as big of an issue. It would be nice if that was offset with more aggressive neighboring kingdoms or some way to balance that out

I loved it at the end when you zoomed out to the "map view" (54:07), that you could actually see your town drawn on the map. Like it would be if you looked on an actual map of the area. That's a nice touch!

Vote for a "no trading" run! Would be awesome!

A little tip I could give you is the same tip I'd give to a city skyline player : build with the curvature of the earth, build your roads accordingly and you buildings accordingly : maybe the road going up the hill is a little curvy so its not too steep. Same for farms and fields, I just think it looks better where it's flat, and if it's not flat, maybe it has a weird shape to accomodate to the land, instead of a big squary field !

Thank you man, Im really grateful youre dropping the episodes rather quickly. I couldnt wait for this one.

Oh yes! Literally the first time in years I've been updating a profile just for a video.

@SnapStrategy 43:02 You CAN choose the size of your burgages. When you plot out a burgage, before clicking on the Hammer to confirm, there's a + & - next to it where you can adjust the layout of your Burgages

I spawn camped this video lmao. I've never sat and waited for a video before but for some reason this game has my whole undivided attention

Granary is what moves food to stalls from pantry, make sure you have plenty and full of families

i have a suggestion >build a manor castle town in the center of an area > can only have houses, workshops( not food based), and market in the castle town > smallest footprint as you can

Really enjoying the pace of these videos. Very calm, relaxing and just chill. Just binged the other two videos and this came out a minute after I’d finished! Perfect timing.

The cow during the raid and the hitchem stable was js chillin as his house and stable was on fire lolol

Ive been waiting for this for two days straight refreshing the page and the gameplay didnt dissapoint good job snip FOR A CHALLENGE:try tò build a Metropolis whit this city tò see if the game can handle It so you can both test the game and make It a bit of a challenge for yourself

I love how you build, so many people who played manor lords just make row houses and they all look the same (ugly af) but even without planning you manage to make your towns look STUNNING. I hope you continue playing this game when it gets more updates!

I really enjoyed this playthrough. I think you could start a new run using all the experience you got from this one. I'd really love to see your settlements divided into "themed" specialized districts to be historically accurate. These themed districts could look like: - a main town with a really dense building structure (tier 3 houses) containing mostly workshops that process goods that are either produced in designated farming and mining/woodcutting districts or being imported by trading posts surrounding the town. This could be like the commercial/economic center of your holding - designated farming and mining/woodcutting districts surrounding/further away from your main town with not over tier 2 houses to support these buildings, that produce the goods needed in your commercial district. - a walled fortress in a tactically advantageous terrain to be the place from where you exercise your power over your realm with all the trees surrounding cut to grant you good tactical vision over your land. I think this might be somewhat historically accurate.

This is awesome, great job mate, game looks so good!

Man I love your manor lords video , hour is perfect and you don’t cut out the good stuff. Keep up the good work !

I appreciate how you made your town in a natural way. Other youtubers ive seen made their town in a grid system and i didnt like that at all. Yours acrually looked natural. Also maybe you could make a short video of just you walking around your town and make it scenic

We need a part 3 of this! I'd be cool to see an another town and manor in the region you just claimed to expand on your army and conquer the rest of the map. Also, 10000 population should be your next challenge in this playthrough!

43:05 You can choose how many houses go on a plot. Use the plus/minus buttons after selecting the outline. Then you can change the number of burgage plots that will be built. Also, the accessory dwellings seem to boost density over building two houses. If you are trying to build big towns that may help you put more people in less space.

You can add or subtract houses on a plot. When you see the button of the wooden mallet to confirm construction, you will see the rotation button and a plus sign and a minus sign, those will add or subtract a house from the lot.

The best series ever for the game Manor Lords. Keep going and grow your city! Reach a population of 5.000.

Your series of Manor Lords is really entertaining. Nice pace and good editing. I am learning a lot about the game, and excited for when I get my hands on it. As a challenge, it would be interesting to see how far you can push self-sufficiency and become an exporting monolith. You could explore going deeper into the tech trees that you didn't do for that.

Thx! FINALLY a demo which pushes the planning limits in manor lord .... would be amazing to get like 10K pop on the entire map

I would love to see you keep growing this town!

Just subbed waiting for this episode like an hour ago! Must've been fate knowing you'd upload. 😂😂

Nice! Congrats on 1k pops. I would like to see how the performance hits if you build up another region that you just took from the other lord.

Was literally just watching the previous video wondering when this one would come. Was pleasant to see it sitting there when I clicked back on your profile

I wanna see you building up the middle region into the full city

i just figured out about this game today, have binged all your videos aswell as some other videos about it, watched about 5 hours of manor lords today😂

While I've watched many streamers last days, your series are awesome, so satifying!

Well done! This was awesome.

I absalutely love this! Would love if you posted more manor lords. You defenitely gained one subcriber.

Good job man, beatifull city you built, I really liked your idea of make 3 little towns instead of a huge one

This series has been great fun to watch, Can’t give it enough thumbs up 👍

I was literally waiting for this to come out!!!!

It's been years since I don't enjoy a gameplay as much as this one mate!!! Incredible!

God damn the anticipation was high for this

I’ve been waiting for this 😊❤

Honestly a mega city sounds fun, i love the focused grind as you build up the city as bog as you can before your computer blows up lol

Like your content a lot man... Please keep going

I was waiting for this video bro... 🎉

So frustrating seeing so many youtubers having access to the game. Sitting here drooling for another 10 days feels so bad 😢

Hell yeah been waiting forever for this

Never had interest in this type of stuff but love your content keep going man🙏🏾

I really hope they'll implement a form of automatic employment for families. Ostriv does it really well, families will move to empty houses that are built closer to their workplace, or you can swap with other families. Also having empty houses nearby will allow their children to move in there once they grow up. Having automatic job assignment with some form of priority system would allow you to plot out an entire village ensuring specific buildings for production are built first or in order, and then sit back with no UI and watch it grow and sustain itself. Would make for awesome time lapses given how natural and realistic the town ends up looking. The building system in this game is actually amazing.

What a guy! I knew a part two was coming!

Please keep a side series expanding this town! Just seeing how far you can really take this one - would suck to see it go so quickly

It would be very cool to return to this map and get it built up as much as possible, maybe seeing some of the settlements grow into each other

Love to see you build a wall and towers around the larger town and fill out all the regions you own with towns or villages.

This playthrough is great!!

thanks for these vids i enoyed them this is how i found ur channel i even subbed whey! whats the next one going to be i would like to see a city or a huge walled castle i dont know just keep them coming!

A family of 3 in this game is really a family of around 5. On average, on top of the husband-wife-son, you'd have a daughter around the son's age without her own child, and a toddler, maybe half an elder unable to work. A town of 100 families would have 500-600 population instead of 300

I enjoy your gameplay. I can't imagine how many hours of looking at a screen were put into this video. I'd go crazy but thank you.

Let’s gooo, first video was awesome! Can’t wait for even more videos on this game if he keeps playing it

Great gameplay! I love the look of your towns. This game is going to eat up a lot of my time in the very near future! 😂🎉😂

Nice that there's a part 2 already

Hey Snap excited for the new vid👍

Definitely continue playing and get all the regions and see just how big of a population you can get on the whole map.

43:01 you can set how many houses are in plot when you designate zone and before you click the hammer there is + and - that controls how many houses you want to fit into that plot, this feature also can help when you have tight spot but you want to not have 2 houses but only 1 with extension

The towns look incredible!

aw man after watching a lot of Manor Lords videos, I really like yours the most (nothing againts all the other creators)

Awesome video!

Eagerly awaiting a new video already 😂😂. I just stumbled upon this channel with the last manor upload and now subscribed with 🔔.

Yes, please, more Manor Lords! You did an incredible job!

Clear the map with this play through!!

I love this series! Can you keep going further? ❤️

Congratulations on achieving your goal! I think if you take from this what you've learned so far, it would be good to start over again with a new map. I liked the idea of no trading challenge. I also think you could make better use of warehouses and granaries next time perhaps, because those should move around foods and supplies effectively, when manned and managed right I guess. Also, when you hit control, you can increase or decrease the area where woods can be cut or grown.

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your manor lords videos

+1 I love ur content since a long time , You gained me .

Go for a "Castle" town. Center of your starting area, plan how big your Manor Walls will be and wall it off and build ONLY inside the walls (exception would be trading post/logging and fields).

Part 3: hit 2000 Loved it I’ve just subbed!

Sir! I do not know if the buying hordes of sheep was a under the radar meme being a Welshman or a missed opportunity for one. Lol Good content as always! Been feeding my habit until the game releases. 🙏🏻

Another great vid!!

The wall makes your second town look super nice 👌

I’d like another episode. I am falling in love with these towns

Enjoyed thank you 😊.

Do one more part pls ! I think what would make the city look even nicer(and more historically realistic) is to have smaller houses or farms at the edges of the town and the big townhouses in the center.

This game is a true gem! For someone who appreciate medieval ages vibes - this is priceless ♥.

I love when you really focus and develop an area, not like others who just build a small town in every region

Keep it growing!

you can select the number of houses in the plot after laying down the four points and then clicking on +/-. This was you can have one big house in the plot or many small ones or somewhere in between

i feel so invested in this city! i hope you keep going, adding more territory, maybe 10k pop???

Just looked for this video and it popped up, yay!

Developers marketing strat giving the game to YT creators and just having us peasants sniveling waiting till the 26th is genius 😅 Hate it cause I just wanna play it rn and it’s easily the most hyped I’ve been for a game in years

you CAN choose how many houses u want Pr housing plot, there is a + - to the right of the build button than lets u remove or add houses to the plot

Would be nice if you could build a vineyard o steeper parts on the Map.

Dang I'm stoked for this game. Hope they do larger maps with more AI.

One challenge I’ve been thinking but not sure is possible is that you have one region that solely produces all raw materials (farming, mining, woodcutting) and the other region be a massive city that has all the industry that refines the raw materials. Could be cool to simulate how a big city is dependent on smaller towns and villages that import the raw materials to be worked.

A whole region would be great for 10k pop challenge, any idea on how inter trade is conducted between multiple regions? Haven't seen that yet regarding Manor Lords

The no roads challenge. Build all your houses on king’s roads like medieval linear towns.

I think the foodstalls were empty because the demand for food was so high that your citizens were clearing them out faster than the stall workers could stock them
