Manor Lords

Liebevoll gemacht und auch immersiv mit mitteralterlichen Details. Auf jeden fall empfehlenswert auch wenn erst in der E.a. phase!

I cannot get the windmill to make flour. why does this not work right. very frustrating

This is my dream game. You get a mix of cities skylines, age of empires, and civilization. It's really good: crop cycles, several production lines, a lot of things to pay attention, bonuses, hard enough to get citizens and start to conquer the world. Really love it and will keep playing. The dev is building this singlehandledly, so shoutout to them. However... 1. Money is too hard (or I didn't get it correctly). I did not have anything that was possible to sell easily except firewood, and that netted a very tiny profit (third year in the game). 2. Too many notifications about units being seen; I didn't appreciate knowing that a random unit was seen across the world. 3. Several bugs yet (that's fine, but buy it at your own risk!) 4. I didn't get to combat. 5. The tutorial is extremely basic (so far) (consider hiring a writer!) 6. The above means that some items are hard to understand or get. I didn't understand how to get sheep, or tools (and now everything needs maintenance), or what to do with salt without selling it. Maybe that's just me. 7. Some stuff is weird: "roadblocks" et al. are not clearly indicated on why. There was a clay source that I couldn't farm because it was impossible to put a construction since the "road was block" - not sure what this means. 8. Also not sure how to make decent roads and what are their purpose in full, and why they're free and instantly built. It's a game with *A LOT* of potential. The "3rd person view"/visit mode feature is absolutely insane, absolutely crazy idea, I never loved so much anything in any game ever. I hope the dev is able to keep making it and rocking. I would easily spend 10k hours on this after finishing.

I've owned this game since release but had not put much time into it until recently. The core gameplay loops is fun and rewarding coming from someone who enjoys both strategy games and city builders. This is a game I have been looking for since I was a kid and to see it become a reality is amazing! Whilst the updates are slow it is worth the wait as they are building a strong foundation so that content updates come out right with little to no issues. I hope this game continues to thrive well into the future and I eagerly await what is to come.

Very, very bad: Reroll simulator. All that is good right now is pretty looking towns and cities and most players want to choose not only the map and region but also their resources and the resources in the neighboring regions and possibly also the resources of the AI opponents (to make them stronger and suck less). Welcome to wasting hours and hours on restarts. Save yourself the pain. Good: First (but so far only) content update in forever. It is a very beautiful city builder. Recent tech updates made it actually playable, not better or worse than other city builders. Par for the course: UI and usability frustrations galore, but it is early access and you can work around them, mostly. Expect hours of learning and googling and reading/watching reddit/youtube for basics that should be explained in game. Military (battles) are still primitive and difficulty is almost exclusively figuring out what is nowhere explained. Difficulty through obscurity, 100% scaling and zero strategy. Bad: Still primitive economy, again lots of difficulty through obscurity. Random ass improvements (perks) that ruin the realism (e.g. most productive farming regions: high elevation???). Odd balance choices that wants you to start with map resources in a specific way to realize your dream city (see the very very bad). All not surprising when this part is run by a self-centered youtuber and anno fanboy (economy looks more and more like anno (e.g. perks=specialists and more) and that is not a good thing. That guy has a primitive view of games in general "all I want is ornaments" (reddit post on anno 117) and limited knowledge (lack of interest?) of the game, quote "oxen in farming failed me twice so i don't use them". And yes this guy writes the help pages and lets everyone know he does. Future economy improvement not expected given the personnel choices. Economy and military seem to be developed separately and feel separate in game. For example, you can beat the boss with 99% level 1 houses. This separation makes the outlook for the military aspect of the game look dim. Very bad: Like all city builders that want to be more than just pretty cities, the developer doesn't seem to understand the complexity levels of city:economy:strategy(military etc) which is something like 1:10:100. ML is probably a 0.8 on the 1 and a 0.1 on the 10 and 100 and likely will never be more than a pretty city builder. Not surprising if you hire people (youtubers no less) that don't see past the first 1.

Gra ma słaby balans, mnóstwo drobnych bugów, które z czasem srogo irytują. Przeciwnik rozwija osadę po czym nagle ma 3x więcej kasy, niż ty, punktów prestiżu, zajmuje 1 po 2 ziemie, i ma mnóstwo zbrojncyh i najemników. Kupiłem jako preorder by wspierać twórcę, ale po 7 latach pitolenia mamy wciąż niedorobioną grę, mam już dość. Może konkurencja ich zmobilizuje, skoro komentarze tego nie robią.

Finally figured out that you can adjust the work area of Granaries, Storehouses, Lumber camps and Forester Huts by pressing Ctrl and toggling the slider. Game changer. Idk why there isnt a tutorial or any meaningful content for this game. The game is overly complex, there is a severe content drought, and a ridiculous amount micro managing for city-building.
