Manor Lords

[Jay85]

Good so far! Tutorial isn't great but as to be expected.

Can't seem to get my families into the burgagge plots as it says "requres fueling". Can't seem to find a way to fuel the houses though? The first 2 houses i built the families just fueled it themselves and moved in once the house was complete.

Any ideas?

It reminds me of early Rimworld - a solid game, but lots of edges that need finishing.

I think I'll leave it installed and wait for a few more updates before continuing further.

 

[Devrij]

Indeed. Can be a big fault of early access. Play just a little too much that you don't go back and enjoy it when fully released

yeah very few games have kept me playing until full release and it just feels like I missed out. Worse is that for MP games that often means a lot of the player base has buggered off too

 

[Devrij]

Never mind, just realised it's on gamepass, guess I'll give it a go!

You have to build a woodcutters lodge for firewood production

First hour impressions are good. Stunning visuals, and the music... just brilliant. Relaxing chill game, just what I was after when wishlisting this game since the beginning.

Have just sunk four hours in this this evening

All was going well bar a few minor "bugs" (more gameplay oddities really, nothing major!).

However, I was sure I selected the peaceful mode with no combat, was having a great time relaxing when a war got declared, an army turned up and burnt my village to the ground

Oh well, will start again tomorrow and double check i've got the combat turned off!

Played 6 hours straight and didn't even speed game up once.. so chilled and learning new stuff every 10 mins or so.. completely messed the way my village is routed etc so gonna restart again tomorrow.. looks incredible on a super ultra wide fully maxed out.

Done that but the families still refuse to move in, just says require fueling. Cannot figure it out...

You need a marketplace near the houses, the woodcutters will then open a stall and 'sell' wood to the houses

 

[Flor_Fina]

Also click on the house to see you're meeting the needs ie a church, water well etc

 

[Spils]

Will pick this up before the offer runs out. Doubt ill get to play it much until winter time but when games/devs/pubs come along like they have with this its needs our support to stick 2 fingers up at AAA and AAAA games

Worries me that's its the type of game thats basically a tech demo and boring fast.


Like Banished great game,. everyone at the time thought it would get good mods etc and it never did.
the dev I think also one man? basically released it as finish and never ever patched it again I think

Banished was good enough that it spawned a massive host of clones, and substantially influenced the entire genre. It was, and is, worth its entry price. I'm not sure why anyone feels it needed to have good mods to be worth it.

the dev I think also one man? basically released it as finish and never ever patched it again I think

Good for him. The idea that a game should be endless supported and expanded despite having a fixed price for entry is madness. He did fix bugs and crashes after release, and improve the support for mods, but that was all.

Just seen this game. Looks right up my street. Love the Sim City a
Games and Settlers, Age of Empires etc. May have to give it a shot if it's good.

159k playing it on Steam yesterday according to SteamDB.
I sunk 7hrs into it yesterday, really enjoyed what I've played so far. Nice change of pace after being burnt out overplaying Rimworld and TWWH3 exclusively for the last 6 months.

 

[rumple9]

This is really good. Last night I thought I'd have a "quick look" before bed. 3 hours later I will still gathering wood.

Good to know! It's working now!

Im now worried im gonna get ganked by bandits ass they've started to appear. Can't seem to get a militia going as not enough population to fill the numbers and also can't seem to get more families to join the camp.

Make sure you've got some empty houses, appears new families will only appear if there's somewhere for them to live.

I've built a few extra houses so i guess its just a matter of waiting. Trying to keep a supply up for fuel/fire wood and bring in enough food is difficult. Also trade is good but eats into your cashflow so need something to offset this which usually means mining for something like stone or Iron.
