Definitely the best playthrough of Manor Lords that I've found. Good use of historical context to lead on the gameplay and I must say that I've learnt a few intricacies of German medieval expansion and town building.

Interesting funfact for the speakers of non-slavic languages: The most obvious legacy of the Ostsiedlung in the Slavic languages is the word for the Germans themselves: Niemcy (Polish), Nimc (Sorbian), Němci (Czech), Myimce (Silesian). All those words come from the Slavic word for mute people, which reflects that the German newcomers were not able to speak the local Slavic language, which caused them to be "The Silent Ones".

@@kristijangrgic9841 The good question to ask (I obviously don't claim to be an expert in the field, merely an enthusiast) is whether this world could've been simply transferred to Southern and Eastern Slavic languages over the years. Many words of German or Italian origins in languages like Russian and Ukrainian arrived there through contact with Polish. Similarly I believe that Hungarian adopted a similar name for the Germans through the contact with Slavic languages (but then that's also much older than Ostsiedlung). But yeah, after giving it more thought you might be right. Germans and Slavs bordered each other for many centuries before the colonization happened, it's not like the Slavs didn't have the name for their neighbours beforehand

Since you have such terrible farm quality, you should add pastures and do sheep. There's plenty of open land, and could be opened land and sheep don't care about soil quality. It would add food, leather, wool, industry and eventual wealth to help build your army.

LOVE THE ROAD TRAVEL SPEED IDEA😊

25:44 yes, in Poland the longest village is Zawoja near border with Slovakia, it is 18 km long, and has a title of the largest village in Poland with 100km2, but it was settled around 1600 so does not match your playthrough time. What I think you are talking about is village Sułoszowa, (also located around year 1600) 9 km long and as you said its is located along one road, surrounded by fields, I recommend googling a photo its a nice thing to see. Oh, and you are awesome, really enjoy your videos, cant wait to watch new ones!

Seems like the farm house is programmed to check for resources in the field and store the "harvest". Basically, the devs didn't want to specify the resources they wanted checked and just went "if stuff in field, remove stuff from field"

I like to believe the houses around the Manor belong to the extended family of the lord of Hohenvelt.

You could turn that marginal land into pasture. Import the sheep bred in the other village in exchange for clay and charcoal. Make the best of what you have.

The "Strassendorf" is similar to quite a lot of settlements through history, even up to relatively recent times. Towns arranged along one long street were and are common in many parts of Europe; and there are still small towns in rural America that are little more than a cluster of buildings along a main road.

I found this game through this video series, and your historical approach makes the game a thousand times more interesting. Love the history lessons. I'm going to get the game and try something similar!

Imo the devs should add in ‘districts’ or something similar, basically user designated areas where pops will only work in the jobs in that district and the goods they produce (food, cloth) etc are only distributed to that area. It’d of course need some work so that you could move goods between specialized areas, but it’d go a long way to helping some of the issues currently going on.

If I remember correctly, tanneries both had a horrible smell and required a ridiculous amount of water and as such were build downstream (and downwind) in the hopes of taking the smell away while providing the needed water.

I have an idea for the name of your village: Thonlohe. Thon because of the clay deposits, and -lohe (as in Gerberlohe) because of the tanning.

The low fertility in your new area reminds me of some interesting medieval history I've learned in the Spessart Region of Bavaria last weekend: In the Rodungen (Cleared Forests) in the hills the medieval villagers first cleared the plots, then grased cattle on it to later farm on it. But because of the low Fertility of the land they had to move the fields regularly and clear new land, overwise the crops wouldn't grow! It was very inefectiv and work intensiv, because thus they moved the fields further away from the village, higher into the hills.

Great series! Thanks for putting the time and going through concepts about Medieval infrastructures, I'm learning a lot. I'm wondering, why are you focusing a land rich for farming on pastures? One would think that pastures make more sense where the lands aren't as good for farming, since it'll bring food (and wool) for those poorer lands. AFAIU this is something that one can see in how towns were distributed in the past: mountainous lands which weren't as great for farming would benefit from husbandry (while flatter, more rich lands would focus on agriculture). I think you could leverage this for an alternative way to produce food in Immenreuth.

Would love it if the videos were even longer tbh :)

The reason for such design is of course very different, but it reminds me of valley villages. Where there's elevated surrounding, the best and most accessible building space is along the main road, which follows the shape of a valley, and you get this very long village, where everything is adjacent to the same street.

The neighboring village to mine in Switzerland is originally a Strassendorf and you still can very much notice how it is centered on one single road.

Great content. Thank you for making the actual city building make sense. Taking care of the aesthetics allows me to follow the game and learn it rather than be annoyed with poor planning. Good pacing as well. Very efficient. Bravo

I have heard many comments about the smell of tanneries but not much about their use of water. Unfortunately, rivers, lakes and general water aren't really present in this game, but tanneries used a lot of water and were generally situated along waterbodies! Just thought I would mention it for the sake of a historically accurate village. Absolutely love the series!

The first mod I can see coming out for this game is going to be removing the “borders” between the “regions” allowing you to build across the whole map without having to essentially start over. It’d be a cool one imo.

Ive been watching your videos lately and ive gotta hand it to you, these videos are great and your style of building is very beautiful. When i finally get my hands on the game myself i planning to make a town much like Skalitz in KCD

About armies marching on roads, why it was really important: armies needed supplies for long journeys. Those supplies needed to be transported on carts. You could not move them through the wilderness. Maybe in later versions armies will need regular contact with supply carts nearby which can only travel on roads?

@@kristijangrgic9841 Sort of. They're certainly not long distances by modern standards - a few tens of kilometres - but distances meant more in those days. I live in Auckland NZ, and while we're obviously a much more recent colony, there were fortified camps set up in the countryside around the city because they were too far from the city proper to be supported from there. These days, the same distance that was too far in the 1800s is just a couple of hours on foot.

I'm curious why you haven't used a development point to cap the cost of all new trade routes to 25 coins? That seems to be the most fiscally effective option. For example, the leather trade route cost you 180. You could've saved 155 coins and afforded at least 6 more trade routes with the savings.

Peasants struggling to survive and doing the best they can amidst the cruel hardship of the medieval world OPB: “that’s so cute 🥰”

Im really enjoying your context exluding how often you say cute.

The Norwegians were an large wood exporter in europe and most of the fish were from scandinavia, much from the danish area of skåne (scania) and the town of Lund in the shouth of skåne, but a lot from Norway, and a purck of the northern Norwegian lands was that it's colder with wind so we could dry the fish outside for it to exported and eaten later in other parts of the continent, and we still does that today. But because of our rivers and fjords it was easy to export a lot of wood and one of those wood exporters wealth is still used for cheraty and helping poor people

KEEP POSTIG LOVE THIS

I hope that it eventually gets changed to that the Regional Wealth goes to whatever region the troops themselves are from. I love the idea of it being the riches the soldiers take home pillaging, although I understand for optimization its easier to just do 'nearest town'.

Suloszowa - The town is clustered around a single street, one of the longest in Poland at around 9 kilometers.

OPB, why not settle the unfertile lands as pasture? Isn't that what they do back then? Sure the lands not good for crops but it still grows grass and sheep eats grass.

If the fertility's bad, maybe you could go for sheep herding in that second region instead.

Just found you via the reddit group for Manorlords and starting watching this video. Very nice town and I love the historical layout. Out of interest how did you manage to get your retinue to be 8/48 implying a max limit of 48? I thought it was capped per region to 24 with an upgraded manor?

I hope they also intorudce castle building, but in an epic monument style of the old Sierra Pharaoh game. Maybe rare and potentially devestating siege warfare too since bandit raids wouldn't make sense anymore, but building and expanding a stone castle or town walls over decades would be very satisfying like building pyramids was back in the day.

The longest village in Poland you talked about is Zawoja, not 9, but 18km long.

Speaking of fields - I wonder if there's an advantage to having fields that are as close to 1.0 morgen as possible. You can only have 1 oxen work a field (at least from what I've seen), and a morgen is based around how much you could plough in a day's work with an ox. My thinking is, if you have 10 oxen and 1 field that is 10 morgen in size, it will take 10 days to plough it. But if you have 10 oxen and 10 fields each 1 morgen, you can plough it in one day. That gives you more growing time. Might also make harvesting the fields faster, meaning you lose less crops to weather.

I kinda feel like when a Bandit Camp got demolished by soldiers from one region, the choice should be between taking it and sending it to the soldiers home region, instead of just sending it to the nearest region even if nobody lives there. After all, there's not really any reason why those soldiers would take a detour to drop off their spoils of war in the literal middle of nowhere instead of taking them home.

How is the import/export economy? Do you find it profitable to buy raw resource inputs at scale, refine them, and maintain a surplus production of export goods for your own consumption? Seen lots of full-spectrum production for export concepts, but how if you were to build a modern German manufacture in-game? It would have the advantage of being independent of season and weather, stays infinite in production without the infinite mine perk, leans into a low fertility region, focussed your pop evenly between the trade/logistics and refining functions all in close proximity of a single relevant, dedicated trade node, permits max berry and meat tech and policy, and be somewhat war-proof if you retain a stockpile of coin and finished goods, and if profitable something for funding other actions. You could also manage some Cities:Skylines style routes, with the King’s Road as your highway, and each trade specific node on a branching arterial, with only the need to centralize your town market for your own people rather than trying to fit everything on the same trade road. Or is there not enough through-put or profitability for any resource to make it worthwhile?
