Walkabout of what we have built so far starts at around 25:25!

Really enjoyed that! Half the enjoyment of this game is/will be seeing everyone going about their business IMO.

man, this game desperately needs bridges! Recognizing and activating the waterfronts is an essential feature in my mind. I wonder if anything like that is on the roadmap

That'll likely come after Greg releases a few more maps: the creek is essentially just a small trench and has no other features. I am exited for that point tho! Getting some water mills? Sleuth gates? Irrigation channels? 🤌

Put the tavern where the old manor was because there are pubs in the UK called the old manor (sometimes the olde manor)

you should maybe try temporarily deleting the fields next to where you want the dividing treeline for a bit and then put the field back after you have a forest, i think that might work. Also i think you should put one big house where the manor used to be to sort of think of it as the lords second holding in the village up there

Yep, same idea with the trees and fields!

I found this channel with the last series and I am soooo hooked. I'm Czech from a small town close to Ostrava and I have never been into history (I'm studying maths and chemistry so completely different field 😂😂) but how you are commenting is really fascinating and I'm definitely going to learn more about why villages were built how the were. Overall you're just great

Amazing series, it provides a great blend between a (broadly speaking) niche historical topic and fun gameplay so far!

Noch vergessen: Du kannst die Marktstände einzeln umstellen, so wo und wie Du diese möchtest. Hauptsache auf einer Fläche, welche zu Markt gemacht wurde.

You could build some charcoal burners close to the river as well, keeping in mind that’s where the were usually located

For realism, I would really appreciate it if Bavarian looked up historical castles. Since the forest is going down, the manor should be at the highest elevation, closer to the original position. Otherwise people can shoot arrows down at the house from an elevated position, or even roll stuff down the hill. And no trees are allowed for hundreds of yards around any fortified position. Trees provide cover and climbing for enemies, and can even be felled on top of the walls. I really think some authentic castles would improve the feel of these villages so much!

Except we're not building castles, we're building manors. My understanding is that fortified castles were not a feature in the area and time the game is based in.

@@bonnie115 fortified castles were for sure a thing in late 14th century Franconia, the inspiration for Bavarians series tho is roughly the area where the Ostsiedlung happened , which is East Germany and also when it comes to the period, late 14th century (which the game is roughly set in) is not that accurate for the colonization era, its kinda late, somewhere in the 13th century would fit more. Fortified castles tho, were a thing in both scenarios, the game setting and where this series takes inspiration from

These hills remind me of city in Poland - Częstochowa (lit. Often-hides), probably named after the fact thati it's placed in a valley surrounded by hills, making it so it's "hidden" from a distance

Nope. That name came from name of its original owner - Częstoch. And basically means Częstoch's property.

@@ritabuba4831 no, there is only one version which is recognized both by historians and linguists. Your explanation is so-colled folk etymology.

The „ push foreward“ stance, seemes to be the best one for both defence and attack. Someone tested all possible combinations and the spear units with this attitude were the best performing. Archer are now pretty useless but that may change with the patch. I mainly look for your historical villages and building qualities. The battles are a nice bit of entertainment in between.

Once you've progressed so much, your camera person should get a horse to ride

29:25 That shot looks so gorgeous! Your designs are the best that I've seen on KZread, and your commentary is so interesting and well-presented. You've kinda ruined watching other people's playthroughs of Manor Lords for me, lol! I'd love to see some of the villages expanding and eventually merging into one big city at some point. Maybe not the ones you've built so far, but it could be interesting to explore such a phenomenon in one of the other regions.

Oh, it's becoming beautiful! Would love if in the future we would have AI doing economy battles, making their own cities compete (instead of just fighting will man at arms for things). So that we can have also urban stretches of the map fighting for prominence, while their lords make as many farms possible to feed the towns.

Ein kleiner Spieltipp für mehr Milizen: Wenn du eine Miliz alleine gegen einen Raid antreten lässt, bricht irgendwann ihre Moral, und sie ergreift die Flucht. In der Liste der verfügbaren Milizen ist sie dann für eine Weile ausgegraut und nicht verfügbar zum "Sammeln" an einem Sammelpunkt. Während diese Miliz in diesem Zustand ist, kannst du eine zusätzliche Miliz rekrutieren, als wäre der Slot frei. Du brauchst nur genug Equipment. Das kannst du auch mit mehreren Milizen machen, lasse z.B. drei Milizen nacheinander jeweils alleine gegen eine Armee des Barons antreten, und sie werden in die Flucht geschlagen, aber nicht vernichtet. Dann kannst du drei weitere Milizen rekrutieren, solange die geschlagenen Milizen nicht verfügbar sind. Selbst wenn die neu rekrutierten Milizen noch nicht maximale Stärke erreicht haben, werden sie im Lauf deines Bevölkerungswachstums neue Rekruten hinzu bekommen, solange genug Waffen und evtl. Schilde vorhanden sind. Speermilizen sind hervorragend in der Defensive Stangenwaffenmilizen sind am besten zum Flankieren von bereits im Nahkampf feststeckenden Feinden Bogenschützen sind erst nach dem nächsten Patch wieder richtig nützlich, da ihr Schaden erhöht wird Leichte Infanterie ist hervorragend gegen Banditen und gegnerische Bogenschützen.

The town is shaping up great!

This series is awesome! Keep doing the Rundling Lord’s work!

Wow this turned out great. To be honest i was wondering from the birdeye's view if your project might become to clogged up, but your walkthrough was an eye opener. Truely gorgeous indeed. Hope you'll do one in winter time aswell, maybe when the city has grown somewhat. Found the sunny winter days can give amazing pictures aswell. On the trees planting. It should be possible to get this small strip between the rundling and the major city filled with at least some trees. Maybe have a single family in the forester hut and make the planting circle a bitt larger. Looked as if your planters where bumping into eachother and politely make way resulting in no one actualy planting :). Not sure, but I did have some succes getting some trees in my village centers by letting the foresters do their thing for a year. Net result only a handfull of trees but still very much worth it. Walking around the village in the summer and finding a the market shaded by a full grown tree was a pleasant surprise. On new building sites roads also work as sculpting tool. Either by isolating existing trees with a temporary road around them or place a road directly on the tree. Roads do not cut trees, they just end up in the middle of the road. Anyway's aswum project/ Looking foreward to the next episode :) p.s. How many years are you now into this settlement ? 10- 15 years ?

This is just soo beautiful!🤩 absolutely love how the whole region is turning out! Amazing work! Can’t wait to see how it looks like when the town is fully upgraded! And I can’t wait for that expansion to the new region and what you are going to do with that! Less agriculture based, more industry focused …🤔 Still hoping it will be called Iserlohn 😂 would be so amazing ! The IRON FOREST based around iron industry and charcoal making 🤩💪

The Best series on this game

One proper berry man, I'm here for it.

Your retinue were standing around about to take a sick album cover photo.

I’m really looking forward to the full release of this game lol can’t wait for more content

Love your series! Sehr schön. It would be nice if there were a few more "decorative" assets like shrines, etc.

Not me getting excited you were counter claiming the baron, hoping it will reduce his power when he does attack you, having less provinces. :P Wonder if later down the line, if you make a town in the adjacent region right by the stream too, if the two towns could look like a large single one of sorts. Also, still hoping you will eventually do like, a 'huge' city, say in the central area, supplied by the adjacent ones or something too.

It's easier to first place the manor walls and only then add the outside towers, then they'll snap

I was wishing you'd put the tavern on the opposite side of the manor from the church. Then you'd have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

Was waiting for this! Thanks OPB!

I think you can only plant trees in a cut down forest. If im not wrong.

I was waiting for this episode 😀👍

love your vids

Would be so nice to see it at night, which you can switch on in the graphics.

great episode. im really enyoiung the series. i think the new tavern shouldnt be right next to the church. thats a bit impious for the time

Why are you trying to get rid of the retinue?

How do you walk around as a guy in armor? I can only walk around as a foppy noble.

Just looked at your mod, I understand it's not for pre-release, I'm currently playing pre-release and for this version this mod will only make life more difficult, not balanced, for balance there should be something to solve the problem of producing clothes from dyes, because when you build a big city there are not enough berries for anything, and buying them is too expensive even with the discount skill, I also don’t see the point of improving the army if you already added 4 towers, the army is already stronger than the bots in manor lords, that was my point

Clearly you can have more than one thing going on - an area of farming, an area of mining etc. and it makes sense to house the workers and their needs close to where they're going to be working. Unless you intend to completely urbanise a region with one massive city, one main village with satellite hamlets seems quite natural.

First

Only spear and shield militia is a bit monotonous and not effective
