The building strategy game Manor Lords entered early access on Steam and Microsoft Game Pass last Friday. As is usual with testing phases, not everything is going quite smoothly yet, and the community provided solo developer Slavic Magic with some feedback.
With 88 percent positive ratings from almost 25,000 reviews on Steam the opinions about the game are very good. However, there is still a lot to do and a first patch is apparently imminent.
This is what the patch for Manor Lords should bring
Via X, formerly Twitter, Slavic Magic gave a first overview of the upcoming changes:

The most important content of the patch is as follows:
- Bizarre bugs related to homelessness should be fixed.
- Archer damage adjustments.
- Recently introduced trade goods oversupply mechanics punish players too much and should be adjusted again.
- The speed at which AI opponents annex territories should be reduced.
- Improvements in sawmill efficiency and storage space.
When should the patch be released? There is currently no specific date for the release of the patch.

Background of the changes
Fans report several bugs that prevent families from moving into houses at all or only through a few tricks. The resulting homelessness is a factor that… satisfaction of your population reduced and thus reduces growth.
Both Archers A nerf was made at the last minute before the Early Access start, but it currently makes it pretty useless and far too weak.
Players who focus on the Trade in a specific commodity are currently penalized so severely by a system that regulates oversupply that this style of play is no longer worthwhile. The community was even allowed to vote on the upcoming adaptation.
Another problem that is often mentioned in the Steam reviews is yours aggressive neighborswhich take over new areas too quickly and give players no chance to defend themselves against the resulting superior force.
If you are still up to the task of the AI and want to conquer new countries, we will tell you in the guide linked above how you can claim areas for yourself.
