- TIMESTAMPS BELOW!
A brand new city builder strategy game is here, and it's none other than Manor Lords. Now city builders can be complicated, especially ones whose mechanics build on each other, and pursue an authentic and historical experience. Manor Lords does this, and if you're just starting out, they can be complicated to wrap your head around.
That's why in this video, I cover everything that makes Manor Lords tick, from resource management, to building your first buildings, fighting battles, recruitment, farming, and spending your development points. This is a complete beginner's guide to Manor Lords and a complete tutorial, and will take you from the early beginnings, to the later stages of the game, and show you how you can create your dream medieval town.

Downloading it right now. This video is like reading the booklet that comes with the game on the car ride home.
I hope it is of use :)
Oh my god that hit me right in the feels
I remember coming home in the minivan with my brother and we just picked up age of empires. We were reading the manual trying to figure out which civ each of us were going to play
@@furretthefuzzynoodle3896 same here
Leaving Blockbuster with a rental and smashing through that book is pure nostalgia. I don't know if I'd ever thought about that again if it weren't for you making this comments. So thank you much
@@furretthefuzzynoodle3896I remember doing that with Diablo
I'm not even into games like this. But I just played for 12 hours straight. I had to literally pull myself away from my computer and throw myself into bed. Can't wait to wake up and continue 😌
Haha, I hear you. I don't normally play city builder or strategy games, but I got caught up in the hype train leading up to the early access release & bought it the minute it came out. I've been having a blast! So much fun.
I was waiting for the new star citizen update. I see this game, got it and now star citizen can screw off
broooo i just got it and ive been hoooked lol
Build order
1. Store House
2. Granary
3. Logging camp
4. Houses (5-10)
5. Well
6. Wood cutters camp
7. Hunting Camp
8. Berries Hut
9. Tannery
10. Trading Hut
11. Grab Trade Perk (not a building) it’s in the skill tree
12. Upgrade houses for goats / or chickens back yard
13. Market Place
14. Church
15. Start Upgrading other buildings
16. Build a stone mine / clay mine
17. Start trading and grow idk im tired now
I’d rather stabalize food and wood gain first
Logging camp first ye
yeah also people will ask for a market place way earlier
I would get a second Ox early as well
I always go with logging camp is first, buy ox, then houses, to build you need people, people forgot that even though it's 5 families it's only 10 people at start, 5 houses add 5 people. it also reduce the morale penalty for being homeless, the longer they are homeless the greater the penalty.
Best tutorial. Direct and no filler. Immediately subscribing
Thank you so much!
Im just refreshing the steam page, lets go lets go
Lmao me 2
@@camooo101 this is bs, steam is shitting itslef, no predownload on a 3 mil wishlish, wtf
@fearan9406 4 real. Makes no sense. I still can't even purchase it man 🤣 keep getting error message to try again later. 😒
@@camooo101 its on skidrow reloaded already, im at 15%
I left work and risked losing my job to download it as soon as it came out haha. Was worth it!
Been playing for probably 12 hours and not getting it fine tuned. I just lost my first battle to bandits because I didn't know how to move my units 🤣 so excited to take another stab at the game after this video. Thank you!!
I’m new to the genre and just made this purchase after seeing multiple people mention it in the Cities Skylines 2 forums. It’s quite the learning curve but this game feels alive. I’m struggling with lumber but I definitely appreciate this guide. So much to do.
I'm glad it is of help, my friend, best of luck out there!
@@AndysTakeMy hunters stopped hunting. Apparently hunting for food is limited. And gathering berries is seasonal.
@@casper191985 Well yeah, the animals need to repopulate
Cant wait.. have fun playinh everyone!
Purchased yesterday, the in game tutorial wasn’t great, so was pretty confused about how the machines work. This video is great, very good tutorial, can’t wait to get going now 😃👍🏻
9hrs in, and I'm starting to get it. Great video, extremely helpful 👏🏻
Best explanation so far of the many podcasts I have seen. Subscribed !
this game seemed so simple at first glance, downloaded and ended having to restart 3 times. this vid helped a lot at getting a thriving village.
Can't play until tonight, but good to be prepared 😊
You got this!
What a brilliant video - clear and to the point! Great stuff. Thanks!
Thank you for such a thorough tutorial!!!
Dude this is the best introductory Manor Lords video out there. I tip my hat to you sir!!!
Thank you, Captain! You tip your hat to no one! *tips hat even harder*
Originally I didn't think I would be that into this game. I never want to buy into the hype. It's had really good reviews and I thought what the hell. I'll buy it if nothing else to support the developer. Now I'm hooked. The game is amazing
i dont know. it didnt grab me but maybe its going to be great. i dont think its that much better than banished or foundation
Great video brother, very articulate and a joy to listen to you talk
you should make more of these video's . Your voice really makes me calm so i can focus and relax with the content. Thank you
Gonna try your tips out now. Let’s go!
Loving the game so far. Definitely gotta take it slow paced. This vid has been real informative so far. Hopefully this playthrough goes better this time XD haha
thank you, glad you liked the video :D
Great video! I learned a lot ❤🎉
I've been watching guides and struggling with this game. But man is it fun.
#1 tip get more oxen early on. If you get too much going on before buying more your entire city Grinds to a halt and everything takes much longer.
fantastic and informative video! thank you
Awesome tutorial pal. Pretty much sums up what I need to know before O begin my first run. Big thanks Andy!
My pleasure, my friend! Cheers!
Great guide dude!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much... This will help with my first play through. Very inciteful. Cheers 🙂
Just Purchased It Opened the game , got overwhelmed 😅 , Thanks mate for guide , love and respect from Sydney 🇦🇺
Bought it last night after a few too many drinks, tried playing it and couldn't handle it 😂 just about to load up sober and follow this guide lol
@@chrisspley99 😂😆
Cheers mate!
Thanks man, I've been playing all week and kept restarting because I'd pretty much hit a wall. The raiders would arrived before I even had chance to make any good money. But after your explanation of the trade system, I feel confident I can get a lot further now. Well put together video!
This vid is a lifesaver!!!
GREAT VIDEO BROTHER
Nice helpful video, thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video thank you.
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! :)
@@AndysTake I am now subscribed and watching your vids. Very nice channel and great quality.
@@fracturedworldhistory that means a lot my friend, thank you!
Watched it and took notes LMAO
Now time to delve in!!
Such a good tutorial, I shall subscribe thee
thank you :)
Thank you for the guide
my pleasure :)
This game reminds me of a cross between Settlers 3 & Tropico 4, with a small blend of Medieval Total War. The population management, approval ratings, building functions, and sub-resources systems are quite similar. I’m excited to try this out as it also just came out on Xbox Game Pass!
Thank you for this! Utilizing it after my 3rd failed restart.
My pleasure, hope you fare better this time! :)
Thanks for awesoem video! This game is so much Like Foundations! But I love how this one looks! and plays! Enoying it!
Thank you for watching, glad you found it helpful! :D
Best getting started video out there! Though was much easier for me to absorb at .75x playback speed.
I recall once softlocking myself in Settlers 3, I had forgotten to build a sawmill, so I had plenty of lumber but I had no planks to build the sawmill I needed to make planks. I think I managed to salvage the situation by demolishing enough buildings to get things going again but pay attention to those supplychains peps
Manor lords will warn you before you run out of wood telling you to either build a logging camp or assign a family to an existing one to avoid blocking yourself.
I bought the game, not because of the devoted developer, but because of Hooded Horse. I had not heard of this publisher until trying Against the Storm, which proved to be one of the most refreshing Builders I've ever played (starting with Simcity circa 1990). A little strange and unappealing at first, ATS evolved into an insanely enjoyable "optimisation problem" balancing limited skills with complex needs. Best of all, Hooded Horse publishes on GOG immediately. No waiting for Steam exclusives to expire.
In short, because ATS was THAT good, I decided to buy into Manor Lords too. This concise guide helps with early priorities, and avoiding pitfalls. Thanks for the help and tips.
I'm quite new to strategy games and city builders, but decided to go in blind anyway and just test for an hour. I think I did quite well, occasionally reaching 100% approval. But when I looked at the clock, that hour had turned into 5 😅
Seems like an amazing game and I can't wait to continue tonight!
And quite a few of the tips given here will definitely be helpful!
Nice work, thanks for watching and best of luck! Those hours absolutely do fly by!
Very good basic guide.
I love how accurately you've nailed everything ngl. And the way you were explaining.
PS. I think that the two trading perks are ridiculously overpowered. Way more important than any other in the game as of its current state. Well, trading in general is pretty bonkers in this game.
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate it. I tried to play this game yesterday, went in blind and i was wrecked and with balanced settings!. I would not say that i did well but not as bad as i was expecting either, i ended up having a lvl 3 settlement and managed to survive for 7 years before i got raided for the second time and they literally destroyed everything. My only issue was on how to create an army and make weapons. I was making small houses, i didn't know you need to make them big enough to have a yard, and from that yard you can make artisans, that was my main ''f**k up''. Also i did some mistakes in trading i didn't know how it kinda worked, i had these money icons that were like: 7/16 i didn't know that those meant the export and import income. But yeah i'm kinda excited to go for the second time thanks to your video! - Thanks again!
Hope you understand a bit more now, my friend! Best of luck, I hope the guide was of some use!
I've played like 4 runs now and only now realising that trading is important :D
Thanks i appreciate your teaching style, ive been trying to find a good tutorial video out there but a lot of them didnt work for me
i started playing today and i was so confused. thank you for this video
My pleasure, glad I could help of help! :)
Great video! I am curious if you've tested formations in combat. Would a single file line of spearman work better or worse than a row of 2, for example.
Gamepass in 50min - will def buy in steam anyway once out of early access.
, bro it doesn't appear on my gamepass
@@ThePoliticalPundit try now
sorted thanks man
Here after fucking up my entire early game 🔥🔥 great video!
Thanks
lets go just bought the game
oh man I didnt realize the extra yard space was used for veggies and chickens, I got my first village in passive mode up to like 110 people and starved because I grew too fast and tried to rely on a wheat farm lol.
Good video mate! ^ ^ One problem with trading is that after a little while the things I sell lose value and get traded for 1 silver. My economy was amazing, now I can barely hold on.
How do I know when I need to have someone assigned to the storehouse or granary? Should I always have someone assigned?
What does equipping families to the trading post do for you? They just move the goods faster?
i really like how does the lvl 3 plots looks with the double house thing but i dont know if you get the double house just with lvl 3 or lvl 3 and second family expansion, can someone please tell me
I've got the basics down thanks to this guide and some personal tinkering around. I'm approaching where homes can reach level 2 now and I feel like the game is about to get a bit more complicated with newer needs I'll have to struggle.
I think the biggest thing for me right now is how to manage settlements in multiple regions. I haven't unlocked it yet so maybe it isn't that hard. But just reading about it seems a little confusing.
it's essentially just like beginning a whole new game, just in a different region. It's quite great, since the regions are independent!
Thank you! Need help making gold early on to upgrade homes and start trade up! Plz help and do a tutorial!
I have some iron in my trading post which I imported but the workers in the blacksmith aren't taking them to their house and aren't making any swords. I have maxed out my people in the warehouse and was thinking maybe they need to take them out of the trading post first and put it into the market? is this the case? I might need to build another warehouse then
Very good tutorial. Bravo.
Still, I have no idea how to purchase sheep, doesn't show in tradind livestock or else.
Thank you so much! This is true, I didn't cover sheep, they are a bit convoluted. You purchase sheep from an animal trader, then you build a sheep pen (or whatever it's called) to keep sheep there if you need to. Alternatively if you have the grazing development, you can just keep your sheep there all year round if there's enough space for them :)
what if the hunting resources are far away from my settlement how do i proceed then ? do i still go with tannery ?
What about the ai lord he takes every region so quickly and raises mercenaries almost instantly, are they always sling that by trading as you suggest?
thx
Hi all just wondering.. is there a city size over Large Town? Or at least a way to unlock more devolpment than 6? or is it based on game type your playing? Easy vs raiders vs Baron I am doing Baron and have taken back 3 regions by force but he has full armies every time.. one time he attacked to defencd 2 times in teh time limit both times with same Mercs and a full 36 man Retiune
Question when you have items in the trading post how do you get it out I order ale from the trader but when I set a granary to literally only take in ale and max out the people they will take it out off the trading post but when the tavern collects it they also take back the ale supply from the tavern
How do you handle traders oversaturating the market? I find a have to switch trades off and on to prevent my stuff being sold for peanuts
One MASSIVE thing that hurt me for almost 2 years was not realizing I needed tons of marketplace locations. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't distribute stuff to my houses to keep em happy. Oops!
When is it good to setup animal farms. How does it work and must you plant crops to feed them like in 28:55
with regards to farming, in the early game it can be better to make several smaller fields that total 1 morgan instead of 1 large morgan field. This way you can set the priorities of the fields and if for whatever reason your population can't manage the whole morgan, you will still get yields from the portions they can handle
I started the middle game and was building a fine little town. I made it to like 30-40 families within 2 years. As in my first attempt I was raided by the NPC in the 2nd year with like 3-4 armies where I barely could recruit 17 men, I now set the time for the first raid to the 3rd year. In the first year, the NPC claimed the farthest away territory in the 2nd year he claimed the one right next to me. So I tried the combat option. Raised 2 armies, one pikener and one bow and sent them to the challenged land waiting for them to attack. At first 5 armies (one 18 men and 4 36 men with one of those being a star one)) moved to this country and after a while a second wave of the same size and portion joined them. How is anyone supposed to beat that army? What was more confusing though was that the claim was "peaced out" without them entering the land and them winning the land. Am I supposed to attack the NPC on enemy territory when they claim an other land? That's not very intuitive and the size of army at this point in game is just stupid. Why not grant the NPC all other land claims from the start if we aren't supposed to keep him away for the first 4-5 years anyway and he's claiming land after land?
What I also noticed is that my firewood cutters stopped doing anything after a reload. And as such, my firewood supply dropped from 83 to 2 within a couple of month before I realized that they just don't do anything.
What I don't understand is that you said, importing clay (-11) and exporting roof tiles (+8) would net you a profit when that's quite the opposite you'd be making a -3 net loss. In the end you'd just be hemorrhaging money, am I miss reading the UI or was this a mistake?
Also how
Many farmhouses do you need what if you start making a lot of fields and they are far away from house
I don't understand, it was all going well but after year 1 the AI lord claimed 2 regions next to me, and another one. I just had 18 spearmen and finally wanted to take down some bandits but I was too late already. Any suggestions?
Start all over again?
Lower the AI aggression?
I would hate to completely turn off the AI lord.
P.S.
I thought the lord was supposed to sit still untill the player declares war on him but no, it rushes and claims the whole map within 2 years with it's infinite resources...
Logging camps can be far from storage huts because logs aren't stored there, instead are stored at the lumber yard itself.
I'm really struggling with sheep... plz help
Sheep can be bought at animal trader, change the status to import, set the surplus to the amount you want to buy/own.
Thank you for this video.
I wish the game had a better in game tutorial. I started a game on the most relaxed difficulty setting, and other than a couple pop ups about building burgages and camera control I barely got any tips or pop-ups on how things worked. More often than not I'd only get a tutorial pop up after I'd already clicked on an action, often randomly.
Wish they would have included a more structured walkthrough.
Glad it helped! :)
Great video! Its a shame the game doesn't really teach you anything or the order to try and start with. Am I alone in this?
Anyone else having massive issues with storehouses not being used? I've been looking everywhere trying to figure this out: I built a deep mine for iron, but its really far from my town. I figured okay so i build a storehouse right next to it and they will store the overflow in it. Then assigned people to store only iron ore in it and highlighted the mine as the work area. They wont store anything in the storehouse. The mine is constantly full and they walk all the way back to the town or just sit waiting not using the storehouse. Do they have a forum somewhere for these types of issues?
I run into problem when saw mill isn't getting logs to make planks even though I have more then enough logs. Does anyone know how to solve that problem?
Reminds me a lot of ANNO
I couldn't generate taxes. I built my manor, but when adjusting the taxes, even up to 100%, it didn't affect their happiness level. Plus, my gold stayed at zero. Bug?
It would be cool if you could make a tutorial on how to setup a castle without having all the ressources because its so expensive. I heard that this is possible but i didnt hear how. 😢
3rd time starting the game i actual got some house builds and lumber then no more buildings will build and end up running outta food or fuel I have no idea what im doing
didn't knew about the manor during the first run (& didn't played with baron, since I wanted no pressure). In the end, I've built a large city, that could just throw wealth on problems and import everything (city specialisation on bread, coal and trade).
... Then I build the Manor and noticed that there is a retinue in the game and my levy army was kinda unnecessary ;D
One of the biggest challenges for myself is forgetting to pause while Im deciding on things then too much goes down😂
Forgetting I left it on x3 doesn't help either 😅
I haven't seen anyone talking about this: just upgrade the homeless tents to avoid losing approval. When you have enough houses, simply delete the tents
all of my 12 saves i keep getting stuck of low food supply at relaxing mode without enemy, even bandit. I'm so lost xD. I keep relying on past winter when berries grow.
Is the diplomacy even in rise to prosperity?
the granary is full my lord! buildings are on fire! wood need it! yeah, i play this game about 15 years ago. SHC
Bit much, these taxes ; )
Where on the map is the B-roll in the beginning with the stone wall?
there's no stone wall, but that part of the map is the northwesternmost corner
Is it just me having problems with getting bread. I have an oven right next to it with workforce on it but they rather pile up the flour in the mill instead of start baking bread. People always starving with 250 of flour.
have you checked what the bread makers are doing? are they actually making bread or for whatever reason doing other things?
Guys i have a request, i can't see underground water how do i fix it pls
Played two runs so far I keep dying to bandits my dudes only get like 16 to 20 spears before bandits run down and burn my village :(
You are importing clay at 11 and exporting tiles at 8 or am I seeing something wrong?
No I won’t import nearly anything until I’ve gotten the better deals perk!
How do you tax trade? After I built my Manor it only lets me tax land?
you can't tax trade specifically, but you tax the region wealth where the trade wealth is located
I'm an actual lord, with enough land to cover 2 or 3 of those zones and quite a few buildings with workers. It is just as fun in real life to micromanage things as it is in the game, though the progression speed, waay different.
What country and Lord of where
