More about Manor Lords (from Steam):
Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord. Grow your starting village into a bustling city, manage resources and production chains, and expand your lands through conquest.
Inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords prioritizes historical accuracy wherever possible, using it to inform gameplay mechanics and visuals alike. Common medieval tropes are avoided in favor of historical accuracy in order to make the world feel more authentic, colorful, and believable.
Manor Lords provides a gridless city-building experience with full freedom of placement and rotation. Building mechanics are inspired by the growth of real medieval towns and villages, where major trade routes and the landscape influenced how settlements formed and developed.
Spreading outward from a central marketplace, build your residential, commercial, and industrial districts following the natural lay of the land. Establish farms based on soil fertility, position hunting grounds according to animal populations, and ensure access to adequate resource deposits and forests to provide the raw materials needed for growth.
Assign areas for housing and watch your residents build their homes in accordance with the historical burgage plot system. Each area will be subdivided based on your roads and the allotted space, and homes will scale accordingly.
Build extensions behind larger homes to generate resources that would not otherwise be available. Homeowners don't just pay taxes - they grow vegetables, raise chickens and goats, and otherwise supply themselves and other townsfolk with essential needs beyond what your managed farms, pastures, and industries can provide.
Guide your settlements through the unique demands and opportunities of each season, enjoying the bounty brought by spring rains and preparing for the harsh snows of winter.
From boots to barley and hides to honey, Manor Lords features a great variety of goods fitting of the era. Materials need to be transported and processed into finished products through production chains, and you must balance the basic needs of your people against the desire to produce luxury items to ensure happiness, manufacture trade goods for export, or forge arms and armor to aid in your conquests.
Resources are littered across the map, encouraging you to expand and establish multiple specialized settlements. Extract valuable ores from your mining colonies, while villages devoted to agriculture, herding, or hunting supply the grains and meats needed to feed your growing populations. Will you spend your hard-earned influence to first acquire a rich source of iron for your smiths, or will you prioritize regions with fertile soil to serve as your breadbasket?
Establish trade routes and sell surplus goods to traveling merchants to enrich your population. Manufacturing and exporting a variety of goods will provide wealth with which to upgrade your peoples’ homes, import goods you can’t produce yourself, and through taxes on said wealth, fill your own coffers.
Yours is but a small parcel of land in a vast territory, and the competing ambitions between you and rival lords will inevitably lead to conflict. Lead your people into battle, not as expendable units to be easily replenished, but as your beloved loyal subjects where every death is a cost worth considering.
Train a retinue of skilled warriors to fight battles alongside the levies you raise from the town militia. At times these soldiers will be needed to suppress banditry, and at other times you will lead your men into battle to conquer or defend territory.
Imagine being part of a country that just gained its independence, you’re gathered in a crowd with everyone else to see who the new leader is, and the first words that come out of his mouth are “Hey there it’s Josh.”
I think Josh should become leader of a country
Would be quite literally terrified
Better wish your not named grace
"He is the messiah!"
count me in!!!!!!
Waldbrand was already a perfect name for his starting town. Translates from German to English to "Forest Fire"
@@mrmikal11 wtf? Waldbrand ist German for Forest Fire.....
@@mrmikal11 German is just terrible. And not just the language.
@@consgchaos but the douches are great (ykyk)
@@mrmikal11 you got it the wrong way around, Dutch is just German if you're to drunk to talk
@@mrmikal11 You mean Dutch is just swamp German
Josh: Starts to make stuff as hard and inconvenient for locals as possible Also Josh: "Look at that idiot, he put that market stall far away, so inconvenient for him"
I guess it was a case of "Do as I say, not as I do" :B
They know what their lord likes!
@@daffers2345 to be fair Josh also love to make it inconvenient for him as well. Watch his Raft video for one of the example.
I mean, presumably that local wasn't trying to make it harder for himself, where Josh absolutely was
For he is the King what commandeth the monkeys to dance.
As someone from Europe I can confirm our history books do indeed tell of our favorite diplomacy and military instruments: the passive-aggressive letter and the staring contest
Josh is a master of psychological warfare. The enemies troops must have thought: 'They think just eleven of them are enough against our whole army? They didn't even bother wearing armor and are they planning to just use those sticks? ... Are they Demi-gods?!?!' *army turns around and walks away*
@@bunnyfist4697 Love that similar has actually happened before too. See; The guy who employed the (literal-ized) Empty Fort strategy in the defense of a city because he was vastly outnumbered by the army led by his rival military strategist, whom he knew well enough to know his rival would overthink the situation and call his attack off out of fear that this guy had a lot more soldiers than he actually had. I forget their names v-v As for something that's actually a lot more like the whole "only 11???", see the story of the Belgian Chasseurs Ardennais Regiment in WW2 (as sung about in Resist And Bite by Sabaton)
"early access" and "josh" is the best combination ever
That’s like putting a barrel of cocaine next to five addicted people
Quick question, do you watch jshlatt?
@@ugandaknucklesofdawaeidk if he does, but i consume the content made by "jschlatt"
@@ugandaknucklesofdawaewho’s jshlsatt? Sounds like jschlatt
I think this is how beta test now.
There's a fine line between doing to much and crazy, Josh has snorted that line💀
E

I like how game developers will just send their unfinished games to Josh, knowing that he'll do more work on his own than an entire QA department put together, and he'll not only do it for free, but he'll give them free advertising too.
And also show them what's an unexpectedly entertainingly broken bug to polish into a feature!
i guess josh is a QA game tester that pretend to be a youtuber
i think josh is the undercover qa lmao
2:51 "Good, thank you. Your lord is pleased" he is truly a manor lord
0:49 was confused why Josh changed the name because "Waldbrand" is such a fitting name for his gameplay ("Forestfire") but then remembered he probably doesnt know what it means.
True. Much more fitting than Crylandia tbh.
I was looking for this comment
I love translation
Even in this Information Age language barriers continue to be such a big problem, it was such a perfect name smh😭😭
True. A land full of crying people is nice, but a land full of forestfires? That's the spirit
Josh is the equivalent of “I did some mining off camera”
E
more like “i did an average amount of mining off camera”
He didn't do some mining off camera, he did _ALL_ the mining ever off camera.
Except you can feel every hour he put into mining
More like the embodiment of it
The fact that I was playing this game and just started spamming random paths and thought “this is something let’s game it out would do” just for him to do it
0:42 Fun fact! While it is true that nuclear blasts werent seen before the atomic wpns tests; there actually have been explosions thruout history which mayve been large enuf to trigger mushroom clouds, such as the Halifax explosion But even further back than that we do have medieval explosions that mayve been similarly large, but its harder to confirm; like at the Fall of Antwerp in 1585 when a ship packed full of explosives and lit aflame blew up a bridge and resulted in a tsunami as well as an earthquake felt over 35 km away So, it may be possible for you to achieve your medieval mushroom cloud dreams with enuf explosives stored in one place
You can't say "fun fact" followed by claiming things "may have" happened.
@@elliotgillum I did share things that did happen tho like the Halifax explosion. The fun fact part is that explosions thruout history before nuclear bombs have been able to reach mushroom cloud lvls The mayve happened part here isnt the explosions, its individual ones bein mushroom cloud worthy; tho Halifax was one where we cud confirm it caused a mushroom cloud
1585 isn't medieval :P but nice fact !
Still way further back than I thought which is pretty cool, I guess humans have always been destructive
@@thatvrguy1862 It is quite possible there were ancient explosions we dont know anythin about too; and while prty unlikely to have reached mushroom cloud lvls, its still possible that they cudve stockpiled enuf particularly volatile materials together to blow smth rly big up bcuz of an accident Thats how almost all the explosions like that happened, the intentional bridge explosion of the 1580s is the anomaly compared to the many cases of wpns stockpiles bein blown up and causin untold lvls of destruction We normally think of mushroom clouds as a sign of modernity, but its not at all smth that requires modernity; it just requires either modernity or a complete disregard for safety and logic when it comes to stockpilin explosive materials... And a complete disregard for safety and logic wud make a good subtitle for the human species; so i truly can believe its possible mushroom clouds were made in China in like the 600s AD just bcuz they were muckin about with lots of explosives and the historical records are quite muddied over there with myths woven into every layer of their history
The game allready knew what was coming for it with Josh, given that it chose "Forest Fire" as the starting name for the village.
E
Where is the fire if there is no forest?
The fire’s in me. I’m burning alive, it hurts.
What do you mean? The starting name was some weird generic thing called "Waldbrand"
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 Waldbrand is German for forest fire
With the pointless winding roads, insane boundaries for housing plots of land, and the complete absence of trees, Josh has managed to perfectly recreate the British countryside. ... I'm not even kidding.
Yeah it's kinda funny seeing KZheadrs playing this game and intentionally setting up "silly" housing plots and farms and stuff, when in reality medieval land divisions were often an absolute mess of nonsensical strips and family assignments of random parcels all over the countryside. Generations of inheritance rights and shortsighted communal decision-making resulted in horribly inefficient land management and overall productivity. I know this happened in England and I'm pretty sure there was a similar situation in Russia, so I assume it was a pretty widespread phenomenon that only started getting sorted out in the 18th/19th centuries
I, too, thought, "This is just British countryside." 😂
Not enough sheep for rural England, but hey, maybe they'll add those in a future update. It's still in Early Access, after all.
@@Nitrinoxus sheep are in the game. he just didn't get them.
@@caseyvuen111 Suppose I should've guessed as much.
Josh really is the ideal individual to provide a key to a beta version of your game since he will identify every bug, no matter how small.
- designs logo to be an exploding landscape - starting territiory name defaults to literally 'forrest fire' (Waldbrand) perfect start i'd say :D
I love that Josh’s first act when playing this game was rediscovering the farlands.
E
That was always his first act, he has seen alot of weird unrendered lands
Josh's Medieval accents caught me off guard LMAO! it gets better when he starts to crack and giggle at times
Pretending to be an old-world European farmer is so much fun! I work on a weed farm and a few of us do it when it gets super hot outside, almost like heat induced mania
I admire the courage of a game studio that takes their game that's still in "early early access" and hands it to Josh sight unseen.
Free bug testing.
"That's nice. The road is just here." *medieval civil engineer salivates*
I love that you can just follow other people’s actual “proper” armies around like a puppy, and despite declaring war on you 43 times, if you come running they’ll still save you every time. And then give up the land to you.
so confused on this? Wouldn't give up land.
Another army, that Josh had been repeatedly declaring war and then peace with, helping Josh's militia take out every batch of enemies he brings is the most Josh thing ever
E
@@EEEEEEEE E
Josh's cyclical dance of war and peace with another army, each skirmish followed by a fragile truce, resembles a theatrical performance where his militia plays the starring role, repeatedly thwarting the enemy's advances at his command. It's a saga where victory and ceasefire intertwine in a script only Josh could write. Love You man
AI comment
8:24 lol that cut off
"I'm expecting - no, _hoping_ - for some glorious early access bugs to play with." Same here, Josh. Same here.
E
😂 Me too.
Josh is the absolute perfect early access reviewer. He makes the bugs into something you *want* to experience.
Half of the enjoyment I get watching this channel is Josh's voice. Such a deep yet sarcastic tone makes it 10 times funnier. But the real gold is when he starts talking but is holding back laughter. Or, even better, when he goes really high-pitched at something like 19:39.
Im glad someone else pointed it out bc i felt like a weirdo 💀
@@spring_dandelion Man i thought I am the only one. Guess we are not alone
Or the manic laughter.
He's got a good voice and great skills, managing to keep a similar tone so often without becoming boring or monotone is surprising
Yes, such bass, in one video he went below the second octave :-)
The funniest part is how well made the falling animation is for a character who shouldn't be falling at all
I love that Josh clears all the trees to make it look barren, when it just grows into a beautiful pasture. I love the look of this game. Can't wait for it to finish cooking.
I think Josh was the Manor Lord of Easter Island. Baffling public works, 0 trees.
Even the inhabitants turned to stone from the amazement. I guess this is the best theory to why they have these big noses - Josh just screwed around in the character creator...
14:50 The deer was speaking absolute facts. 10/10 performance. When he said "🎵🎵🎵" it was so emotional.
Facts 😂😂
It was having a seizure ☠️
XD
I couldn't stop laughing. That was the best part, with the Cart Guy a close second.
Deer: ”😫” ”😫” ”🥳”
If Josh only knew that the auto-generated name of his village "Waldbrand" literally translates to "bush fire", which resembles his style of gaming in the most accurate way.
It's not Auto-Generated, it's just the name of that region.
The developers' decision to charge for this pre-pre-alpha was extremely audacious. Considering that Josh can break almost any AAA title, giving him a copy is even more audacious.
The way this guy designs cities makes me so, so mad, but I can’t stop watching. Please, never change.
If you look at the road patterns in Medieval European cities, it doesn't look all that much different from what Josh was doing.
i'm british, and your posh accent was spot on. as everyone knows, that is indeed how the rich speak over here. you get a lot of money, and all of a sudden, you speak like medieval royalty.
Is it just me or does he sound a bit like Hannibal Lekter in Silence of the Lambs? ^^
@@IceCendersHe must of had a nice Chianti with fava beeans…
Honestly someone needs to hire this man as the entire QA department. If a game has a single bug, he WILL find it and do something devastating with it.
"You can't intimidate me.I don't have an army TO intimidate." I can'tI can't I can'tI can'tI can't.
Y’know, sometimes i think to myself “why doesnt josh upload more”. Then i remember how long these videos take to record, and how much patience josh has
Josh is honestly the perfect person to give a key to an early version of your game cause he'll find every bug no matter how obscure
Who cares about bugs at this stage when half the game still needs to be developed?
@@McP1mpin The bugs are just fun finds because some of them are very obscure and it's a good thing finding them cause there are something's the developer might not have considered that thing so I care about bugs because some of them are funny some of them are important
6:00 So that's how Loki feels, falling for 30 minutes 😂😂
Hilderbert really came in clutch! What with the constant peace negotiations and randomly saving the town despite the fact the townsfolk were stopping him expanding his land
2:38 the voice is just perfection, a cross between demented geriatric and stereotypical english monarch
I love how Josh really turns "Manor Lords" into "Maniac Lords"
"He's a maaaniac, MAAANIAC on the floor"
@@daffers2345 “And he’s dancing like he’s never danced before”
Not Josh judging the marketplace for setting up "awkwardly" after the man made intentional housing weird. Road weird. Man's got a "canoe shaped" plot of land he made and mad at two vendors facing each other. This man breaks games for a living and now the games are testing him. Love all your content man and excited for every video you drop. #7 top trending! Keep rocking it Josh!!
Let’s game it out is the final boss of early access games
with a new phase of the fight every video he makes on the same game. idk how hydroneer has managed to stand up to him this well
It's the hidden superboss of the game, the one that makes the final boss looking strong as a bunch of balloons. And this boss doesn't stay hidden, it hunts you.
It was the "lord voice" that just had me rolling every single time.
I love looking out the window and seeing 11 middle aged people RAID MY VILLAGE OF 5 MILLION SOILDERS! (love ur work pls play this game again)
The irony of watching this right after watching Charborg get absolutely annihilated by a group of bandits while only having 10 ""soldiers"" because he put off making weapons for too long and immediately picked a fight he couldn't win
17:34 Alright, that was pretty comical. Love hearing the laughs that break character 🤣
My day just got so much better

The most Josh thing ever is another army, with which Josh had been alternating between declaring war and making peace, and assisting Josh's militia in eliminating each wave of opponents he brings.
I could watch you play stuff like this to completion. Your mix of comedy and gameplay is just so much fun.
Top 3 most scariest lines 1. Hey guys it's josh 2. Welcome back to let's game it out .and scariest of all time .is there a limit
No it's hold please
I love the voice he does for Lord Sir Sweatsalo 😂
Same😂
Crylandia's accent feels addictive
Thanks for the new content Josh! I allways love watching you "build" all of your new "settlements" in these types of games.
The game being still on early access and for them to gave Josh the key to play it is a brilliant idea on the dev's part, that means they can see what kind of game-breaking bugs and glitches he'd "willingly" discover and can quickly patch it for the next update.
this game is basically just early Europe simulator, love it
E
E

Should be around the 14th century I think. I follow the historical consultant of this game which also streams on Twitch.
Medieval Bohemia/Germania. Not 'Early Europe'.
Fun fact: The original name of his town „Waldbrand“ means forrest fire in German
Wow! One of the best episodes I've seen since old school Satisfactory videos! Had me crying so much, while learning so many new things!
Unironically the addition of a third person mode to explore your city is a fantastic addition. More tycoon/colony sims would benefit from this
I swear Josh could play a game like kahoot and still make it the funniest video I’ve ever seen
Josh loves Kahoot, he talks about how much he loves it on every stream.
26:10 I like how smoothly standing army transformed into POW camp)
True story: during WWI, in the battle of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, an American soldier named Alvin York went on a massive killing spree. He was so deadly that the large German force he was making his way towards believed they had been snuck up on by a massive Ally force and surrendered. That day, York singlehandedly killed twenty-five Germans and captured a hundred and thirty-two others (he had help from like ten other guys rounding them up, but he alone forced their surrender.)
You know it will be a crazy video when the game is in early access
Damn, This is the earliest I've ever been.
Smae
Me too bro
Same
Innit
Same.
2:40 lmao that accent though 😂😂😂 First time heard Josh doing an accent
He channeled some of Anthony's voice acting spirit, still can't beat the voice acting for Leo from A Way Out's vids though
You already know isa fire day when LGIO uploads 😂😂😂
Ah man, Josh... You hilarious... Been watching dozens of videos on how to play this game for weeks, and then you come in and break the system. Love it!! 😂
Tricked? Josh, knowing you, those 11 guys have been exposed to forces beyond human reckoning and somehow survived. Those soldiers are no longer people. They are beings of death and destruction. (I haven't watched the video yet let's see if I'm right)
He made diplomatic ponzi scheme. First time he won negotiations because AI didn't want to have losses, other it just acccept that every time it's better to agree.
this guy has to be the perfect diplomat, he made a nation surrender with 11 guys
E
Video is half an hour and was uploaded 7 min ago. Least bot response possible.....
@@hoddedman_ARG based on the title only
Watch the video, stop being cringe for internet validation @@NotTheGian
Josh's voice is pure gold, it's the highlight of every video.
yeah lol
If josh was in the amazing digital circus he'd probably find a way out of there first by finding glitches and crashing the game 😂
No matter how many warnings you put that your game is early access and will have glitches, Josh will always find pleasure in breaking the game beyond repair.
E
7:39 HE SKIPPED THE SICKLE BAHAHAHA
Just got back from school, happy to see this on my recommended right when i get back on my computer :)
2:25 chlamydia
I love how Josh turned from Ima enjoy games with my bro To *IM GONNA MAKE DEVELOPERS SCARED OF ME*
*Me:* Reads the title Ah yes, the Gideon's army maneuver, a battle technique from antiquity. Thanks for the lesson in classical tactics Josh!
Man you posted this on my birthday! Thank you!
Holy moly this game has so much potentional. It looks great for a beta. Can't wait what crazy things will u do after it comes out normally haha
Oh god hey we go again when I hyperventilate due to laughing to much from him finding a bug
11:08 "you have to learn to be twinkle toes like meh" 😂😭
LMAO...I love early access. I'll probably get this game when it comes out, but MAN bugs in the early builds are hilarious. Good video, Man.
We need an inspiring, feature-length film about the brave 11 randos whose stares won their battles for them
Compared to some of Josh's newer stuff with lots of editing and creative mode usage, I feel as though this is a welcome step back to older Josh. Just a broken early access nation-builder game and a guy that is all too happy to break it wide open.
One day I want him to just release a video of him playing a game complete normally and then go back to breaking everything the next game and never address the normal gameplay video
this was just hilarious to watch! can't wait to possibly play this game myself at some point on my channel!
half an hour of: SAVING MY LIFE. no kidding either! Love you man! your actually still funny!
Josh's Lord voice cracks me up. Everyone at the party went quiet when I laughed hard
300 of Enemies Soldiers: *"I'm gonna Raze all your Land in 365 days!"* (11 Mens are coming towards 300 Soldiers standing still) 11 Mens: Yo! *(365 Days Later..)* 300 of Enemies Soldier: "I'm bored! i take it back! i surrender in peace! take all my land, please my lord!"
You know it’s gonna be a good video when you hear “Hey there it’s Josh”
Josh's cyclical dance of war and peace with another army, each skirmish followed by a fragile truce, resembles a theatrical performance where his militia plays the starring role, repeatedly thwarting the enemy's advances at his command. It's a saga where victory and ceasefire intertwine in a script only Josh could write. Love You man 😘
25:36 i'm loving the volleyball helmets
If Bethesda was a feudal lord.
Never fails that Josh finds the broken parts of the game. It's amazing every time 😂
It's incredible how Josh always manages, in every videogame he plays, to think outside the box and go beyond the boundaries until he finds all sorts of bugs and in many cases even crashes them, sending them into havoc and haywire. 😂 And this is the reason why I never miss a single video from this channel.
I love how Josh uploads at 6PM so I'm able to easily watch it. For other things, it's either midnight or 8 AM.
It's 8AM here, so now he's making me get up earlier.
4:30PM here :D
7:03FM
This is the iconic Josh we all love to watch break games.
Only 6:24 into the video and Josh already finished the game. That's definitely speedrun pace.
I just discovered Josh a month or two ago and I've been binging so much since, so I'm glad to experience a brand new video!!!
1:41 caught me off guard 😂
