I love this game, but it is straining my perfectionist nature. I have restarted 7 times in order to learn from trial and error as to how to balance aesthetics with efficiency.

small tip, trees take 3 yaers to grow to maturity, so I have 3 logging camps and foresters huts I cycle every year to save on moving things around.

Hotdamn, a guide with proper timestamps AND a TL:DW? You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

1 Dev 30 dollars early access game has more depth than triple A games. Crazy.

Wow, that quick summary and invitation to stay and hear the deeper details is such an honest and endearing thing.

A word of warning when selling surplus. I got stung by assuming I could make a fortune selling surplus weapons (because I had a 'rich' iron deposit and the deep mines upgrade). I sold 'too many' and flooded the market. The trade was then marked in red and no traders were actually buying my stuff at all. So when you're selling off surplus, do it in increments. Don't try and dump large quantities all in one go!

The ambience and the chillness of this game is great. For me it had a bit of a hard learning curb but once I got into a flow it was great. The only thing I struggle with is farming and my large population almost runs out of food every winter.

Big tip for logging camp, place it in an area with lots of woodland. Place a forester right next to it. Allocate an area for the logging camp close by and when they remove all the trees move the allocated area and allocate the forester to place trees just in that area creates a unlimited supply without moving the logging camp.

You're an absolute legend and breath of freah air on YT with your approach to up-fronting the info, cataloging the details with chapters, etc. Massive props for bucking the trend that the YT algo wants to force creators to adhere to

I've restarted prolly like 10 times as i keep learning. The start is pretty easy now. 4 small houses with small plots with eggs and 4 houses with house extension and huge plots for vegetables. Dont take up much room and gives enough housing for big growth early on. Build hitching posts early and by ox every month. Gather berries and craft dyes to sell for money. With your eggs berries meat and vegetables you won't have to worry about food while having surplus to sell. Eventually build bows to sell(not for archers cause they suck) livestock trader and import lambs till you get a decent amount about 30 then build sheep house. Will have enough yarn to sell while also provide clothing. So now you got 4 types of food and 2 types of clothing if you build tannery for hides. Only farms i build early are for barley for my tavern. Also build the hut that people use to plant trees and keep there positions field. When they aren't busy its one of the few jobs the people will guide ox or transport supplies when they arent planting. Early game build 3 market stalls and delete them until a granary worker owns 1 of the food the firewood stall should be owned by either a trading post guy preferably but the firewood maker works good to. Clothing should be owned by a trade post or tannery worker cause they have more free time. You can delete the stalls until one of them builds one then your set. Build market close to your big houses with big vegetable plots cause them are the ones you want to upgrade to level 3 first and bring close to the market ensures they get the requirements to upgrade first. You don't want to upgrade your weapon building houses to much or they use to much raw materials

I learned that farming is too great of a risk for the first few years. My tip to anyone starting out a new game is to either rely on gathering like foragers and hunters, supported by chicken and vegetables. Farm yields are affected by too much rain and droughts and sometimes they yield an underwhelming amount of harvest which won’t even sustain your village for 2 months Another tip would be to prioritize assigning families to granaries and storehouses. Assigning more on the gathering/workshop buildings will get you more stuff but their distribution to market will be very poor. You’ll have 70 meat but your people are still starving if no one actually opens a market stall and distributes them

Such a concise into, wish more people would do their intros like this.

Honestly giving you a like and sub purely for the honest intro. Most channels are really trying to squeeze you for time, and I understand that maximizes revenue, so I respect the TLDW. Gonna let the video play in the background so you get more engagement too, I hope more YouTubers start to treat their audience better like this!

Some tips and tricks for my fellow manor lords 1) Two Forester buildings close to each other will regrow trees fasters than a logging camp and firewood collector can chop them down. Enjoy flooding the market with wooden parts for coin 2) spear troops seem to have higher defense values while polearm troops have higher offensive values. Ive had spearmen hold the line against 3x their numbers and win while polearms deal significant casualties while sustaining high casualties themselves. Footmen with swords and small shields are a good balance 3) Upgarde your home quickly and produce linen to get gambisons fast. Tier 2 households can use gambisons which greatly increase their survivability. They also seem to fight better but that could just be me reading too much into it. Helmets should just be traded as they're typically cheap to import. 4) don't bother with charcoal kilns. The AI seems to prioritize selling firewood to your villagers than bringing it to a kiln even if they're nearby. Definitely a glitch but still save your development point 5) don't hire mercenaries if you expect them to die. Should they die in the field you still have to pay them evwry month and you won't be able to disband them to stop this. Again a glitch but best save your money

Dude the respect you show for people's time is unrivaled. You're an awesome creator! I watched dozens of your banner Lord videos some years back and it's awesome to see your growth over the years. No wonder why!

Thanks for finally clarifying that a second family living in a "duplex" does indeed contribute to producing whatever is in the attached workshop (at 24 mins).

great vid man one big thing I didn't think to do and its going to be a game changer for my current set up was setting up the restriction's for the storage. thankyou your a legend

Really appreciate the information. Very well put together

Goddammit !!! I have to restart a 5th time now that I've learned some essential tips!!! Thanks a lot man!!! D; Kidding aside, I'm loving your videos and have subbed! Very quick, but detailed enough to give me a great grasp at what you're trying to show as a tip.
