Manor Lords is getting new maps, building upgrades and reworks for the marketplace and ale distribution

Manor Lords developer Greg Styczeń, aka Slavic Magic, has emerged from his keep with news of a forthcoming patch for the medieval city builder. It'll add new maps, building upgrades and reworks for various economic systems.

The announcement post is mostly image-based, in keeping with the classic saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words, as long as the words in question are mostly synonyms for 'hut', 'mud', 'tree' and 'mountain'". Fortunately, Styczeń threw in a few captions to light the way.

Once the most wishlisted game on all of Steam, Manor Lords has captured the adoration of city builder and strategy game fans by offering a medieval alternative to Cities Skylines 2, and the perfect primer for the upcoming Civilization 7. Detailed, deep, and focused on the minutiae of everyday feudal governance, the early access version has already proven a hit, but now Manor Lords is about to be greatly expanded with new maps, building upgrades, and improvements to the economy as requested by players.

November Update Preview: New Maps, Building Upgrades, and Marketplace Changes.

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share a sneak peek at some features in the upcoming patch for Manor Lords. Here’s some of what’s on the horizon for this next patch:

Two Brand New Maps

New Building Upgrades

Ale and Water Distribution Rework

We’ve overhauled how ale and water are supplied to settlements. These changes are now in closed testing and will improve the function of taverns and wells.

Marketplace Overhaul

We’re reworking how marketplaces and goods distribution work, having tested three different systems to find an engaging, intuitive, and easy-to-understand solution.

This update will also include distribution filters for marketplaces, a feature that’s been frequently requested.

Community News: Early Recognition

Manor Lords has been nominated for Best Debut Indie Game and Best Sim/Strategy for player voting at The Game Awards. This is very much appreciated, but of course, there’s still much work ahead. The game remains in Early Access, and I know there are plenty of features, adjustments, and fixes you’re all looking forward to. Your feedback has always been an essential part of the process, and I’m committed to continuing the open development approach that’s gotten us this far and working hard to improve the game.

Patch 3 which just released for Manor Lords is packed with new features, performance improvements, and balance updates:

Fishing System: Fishermen can now cast their nets in Shoals of Fish that appear in ponds. Fish multiply in spring, but beware of winter freezes! Unlock the Winter Fishing branch to keep your fishermen busy year-round.
Butchers & Food Spoilage: Butchers now convert surplus livestock into meat, and with the new spoilage system, certain foods, like fish, spoil faster than others. Salt deposits can now be used to make sausages, which last longer.
Crossbows & Huntsmen Mercenaries: Craft crossbows at the Bowyer’s Workshop and equip them to your militia, or hire the new ranged Huntsmen mercenaries.
Production Limits & Reserves: Set limits for production and prioritize key resources like shields or bows to stay ahead of the demands of battle and survival.

New Manor Lords update targets one of the strategy game's biggest problems

Of all the tragedies that might befall a medieval settlement, an ale shortage feels like a pretty minor concern. And yet, in Manor Lords, the superlative strategy game and city builder from Hooded Horse and Greg 'Slavic Magic' Styczeń, failure to properly manage your booze supply can, and will, plunge your township into chaos. In Civilization 6, you're in charge of an entire continent. In Cities Skylines 2, it's a metropolis of millions. But Manor Lords goes right into the details - you're responsible for meeting the basic, everyday needs of a handful of settlers. Water and ale production have been a running sore since Manor Lords first hit Steam back in April, but now, in response to fans, Slavic Magic teases a possible remedy, as well as a wonderful-looking new map.
