How to get more Families and increase Population in Manor Lords
To get more Families and in furn increase your Population in Manor Lords, you need two things:
It may sound obvious, but in order for a family to move into your settlement, they need a place to moveintofirst. They’re not going to join your settlement and then wait around patiently in the middle of a thunderstorm while you build them a house.
After placing the four points for a Burgage Plot, you can rotate the plot (which may change the number of houses available within the plot), and you can also use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to add or reduce the number of plot divisions inside the area. Each plot costs 2 Timber to build. We’d also recommend placing Burgage Plots so that you have the option of expanding them later to fit an additional family. You’ll know if this is possible because you’ll see a house icon with a plus (+) next to it inside the plot somewhere.
If you want to control Population growth easily, place your Burgage Plots such that they can be extended later. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Hooded Horse

Maintaining a high Approval Rating is very important: not only does a low Approval Rating stop new Families from entering your settlement, but it means new members of an individual family won’t join existing families either (read: everyone’s too depressed for babies). And while individual population levels aren’t as important as how many families you have, they’re still important because you’ll need a lot of healthy male villagers for your armies.
