The latest Manor Lords beta patch has just been released, and it brings a plethora of exciting new features for players to enjoy. One of the most notable additions is the ability for players to now trade between their own regions using Trading Posts, eliminating the need for Barter or Pack Stations. Additionally, players can now customize their trading options by turning off trading with Free Merchants and Tradepoints for each type of good, allowing for more strategic gameplay. The import display has also been updated to dynamically show the lowest possible price for each good, making trading more efficient and intuitive.
In addition to these trading improvements, players will now have to contend with a new tax known as the “Annual Royal Tax” or “King’s Tax”. This tax, collected from the Treasury once per year and calculated per resident, aims to discourage bad workplace optimization and prevent players from hoarding excessive amounts of cash. While this new tax may pose a challenge for some players, it adds an interesting new layer of strategy to the game.
The latest patch also includes several gameplay enhancements and fixes to address common issues and improve overall gameplay experience. Some of the key areas that have been addressed include:
– The rate of Hildebolt’s claims
– The spawning of “None” people in large numbers, who refuse to work
– Trading Post congestion
– Game getting stuck at the summary screen after a victory or game over
– Weak archer damage
– Inefficient sawpits triggering storage full banners
– Optimization issues in large cities
– Inefficient marketplace supply
– Farming problems such as crop erasing in winter and inefficient harvests
– Oversupply and undersupply systems being too harsh
– Homelessness among people and livestock despite available living space
– Excessive ale consumption
These fixes and enhancements aim to improve overall gameplay balance and address common complaints from players. Developer Greg Styczeń has worked diligently to make Manor Lords a more immersive and enjoyable experience for all.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the latest patch is the introduction of the “None” people, who have been appearing in towns after raids. These mysterious individuals simply stand around indefinitely, sometimes causing the game to crash when reloading. While their origins and motivations remain unclear, they have certainly sparked curiosity among players. Perhaps they will become a new faction or group within the game, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the gameplay experience.
