Alright, so I have a love/hate relationship with this game. Its a fun game and if you wanna spend alot of time developing a nice city and doing all that then this is great for you. But somethings to be aware of: - The economy is ****EXTREMELY**** broken. You could be selling swords, spears, helmets, boots, cloaks, veggies, beer, dyes, charcoal, wool, linen, wooden parts and both types of shields. But if you need Barley & grain it'll sink your regional wealth. Which in turn bankrupts you. So basically if you cant build a town that is 100% self sustaining then you may as well quit and start over. - The enemy will spawn directly into your town. Wether it be bandits or the opposing Lord. Sometimes they'll spawn other places but majority of the time they are going to spawn from off map, directly into your region. So prepare to have your town completely wiped several times a game. - When the off map Lord decides to attack, don't just assume you won because you won the first battle. Give it about 60 seconds and he will spawn a completely new and fresh army to attack you with. So you could of spent ridiculous amounts of money mainlining a standing army of your own, supplementing it with mercenaries, and it'll likely not be enough. So get ready to lose. Also understand that you will never have a retinue as large as his. He will have around 30+ and max you can get is like 24. Plus have several bands of mercenaries with him. Which again, will all re spawn fresh and ready to go. - If you have mercenaries spawned on the map be prepared for your carts/oxen to get caught in them. So keep an eye on them or it'll cause a clog. - Resource distribution is wild in this game. A house directly next to a fully stocked market might get the resources from it. Maybe. But one a few blocks down the road will definitely get them. - Keep an eye on production. If you don't set limits on what your specialists make then they're going to drain every last resource you have and its not physically possible to keep up. - Lately unassigned workers have been disappearing. Why? who knows. You'll have 10 unassigned families and they will all disappear. - The villagers are MASSIVE drunks. Your most valuable resource in the entire game is ale. Everything comes to a screeching halt without it. You cant upgrade buildings. You cant get perk points. You'll lose. But again you cant really import it because it'll bankrupt you. So good luck. - DON'T BOTHER WITH APIARIES. They are worthless and a massive waste of time. Streamers say they're great but they're lying. You get maybe 3 honey a month from them. Which is instantly gone and you don't see a benefit from it because its burnt through so fast. So do yourself a favor and pick a different perk. It doesn't matter how many you place down or how many families you assign. You re only getting a max of 3. Period. End of story. - Also don't bother getting the hunter traps or double meat perks. They don't work either. You cant physically produce enough meat to sustain a villages wants. So forget it altogether and focus on veggies, berries and apples. Maybe if you're lucky you might get good farm land and can grow some wheat and barley. But don't count on it. Farmers will consistently not plow half a field or wont plant most of it. I've found it best to make small .3 size plots for farming. But the problems still persist regardless of how many farmers, oxen and time you devote to it. For all of its flaws it is a fun game. Sometimes you'll do alright and somehow survive long enough to complete a map. But odds are you wont. Get comfortable with the idea of spending hours, even days, working on one really awesome town. Then it's going to be levels by bandits and the rival lord will take it over and then you'll have to start all over. For a single developer its a very beautiful game and has some seriously solid bones. But obvious being in early access its gonna have issues. Apparently there's a complete rework being made so maybe soon all of these issues wont even be a thing anymore. Fingers crossed cause I do enjoy it.

It would be great to add a court system for villagers who commit crimes. And we can decide what punishment to give. So, prisons and gallows can be built near the settlement. Also, people living in the settlement can be happy or disappointed according to our decision. Because, if we decide to kill criminals for every crime, society may lose trust in justice and therefore there may be a decrease in happiness.

To the devs. If you're reading this, do NOT give up on this game. Bought it for myself as a Christmas gift and now I can't put it down. It feels like a real game, it feels fun, and you can feel the passion that went into it.

as of 24/12/2024, i have seen some adverts from a game called "king of Avalon," on youtube using footage of this game. however i cannot report it and i suspect that the footage is being used without consent. i do not know how to contact the devs about this.

The foundations of this game are excellent. However when you get deeper into the expeirince it shows that it isnt complete yet in areas like combat, diplomacy and using your castle defenses. I would still reccomend it though as it is an enjoyable, dynamic,interesting experience. As a bonus, history fans will fall in love with the world and authenticity of manor lords.
