Manor Lordsdeveloper Slavic Magic, aka Greg Styczeń, has laid out the broad strokes of the game’s first proper patch in early access. This follows a boisterous opening weekend that has seen the new citybuildertop purchase charts on Steam,causing Valve’s mighty servers to crumble under the strainlike overloaded oxen.
The proposed changes include tweaks to archer damage,retuning the game’s trading mechanics, and making the AI a touch less zealous about claiming territory. We can also expect a fix for “all the weird homeless bugs”, which I assume refers to people without homes behaving in odd ways, rather than the game defining insects as homeless and expecting you to house them. Though Idothink that’d make for an intriguing endgame, and it’s worth noting that publisher Hooded Horsehave an insect strategy simon the boil and argh, enough tangents, it’s the end of my shift. Here’s the tweet with details of Styczeń’s plans to update the game.
Main points for the planned next patch:-Fix all the weird homeless bugs-Tune the archer damage-Tune the trade oversupply mechanics (it’s too harsh and punishes regional specialization)-Slow down the rate of the AI claiming territories— MANOR LORDS (@LordsManor)April 27, 2024

99% crashes so far are old drivers. And when people say “I updated the drivers”, I check logs and see old drivers. The other is the game defaulting to FSR and people having older GPUs - for this you need to disable FSR in the settings.ini for now but that will be fixed soon.https://t.co/QVnq97Sm8A— MANOR LORDS (@LordsManor)April 29, 2024

Even as capering fopdoodles like me make fun of people who have advertised their humiliating ignorance of crop rotation on social media, our industrious guides writers are tilling the soil of Manor Lords and reaping a fresh harvest of how-to pages. If you’re having trouble with any particular aspect of the game, you might want to check ourManor Lords beginner’s guide, which walks the player through their opening year as Manor Lorder, and ends with some suggestions about what to do in year two. More advanced players may prefer theseManor Lords tips and tricks, aimed at all skill levels. Or you can take a page from the book of Nic Reuben andstalk an ox.
There’s no launch date for the first Manor Lords patch, but I imagine it’s just “when it’s ready”. If you’re wondering whether to buy, Nic did take some time out from his busy schedule of cattle-bothering to write aManor Lords review.
