The most anticipated PC game of the year is already taking a beating
Manor Lords is ready to create the event this year. Led by a single developer, this new video game project broke records on Steam by becoming the most anticipated game of 2024 on the Valve platform. And now that early access is officially launched, players can finally discover this medieval management game full of promise.
But early access requires and even if this first version is already rich in content, Manor Lords is still missing many features. What's more, players may encounter bugs that are capable of compromising the experience. And this is precisely what made Greg “Slavic Magic” Styczeń, the director of Manor Lords, react recently, who was forced to speak out to restrain players and prevent them from corrupting their saves.
Calm the ardor of the community
Shortly before the official launch of Manor Lords early access, Greg Styczeń took the stage to comment on the first sessions of the press and influencers to ask them not to do anything in the game. developer thus targeted a recurring phenomenon: several players were trying to fortify their cities with the castle construction tool. Except that circumventing the rules of the game in this way can potentially render the various constructions unusable and thus force players to restart their game.
I just saw one press review try to cheese their way and build town walls with the castle planner tool, please restrain yourself from doing so. I'll add a *proper* town wall tool in one of the updates and the castle planner is meant for manors/castles. Should've locked it for now.

I just saw a press notice that tried to make life easier by building walls around the city with the castle building tool. Please avoid doing this. I will add a tool dedicated to the construction of city fortifications in one of the updates and the castle construction tool is designed only for manors and castles. I should have locked it.
Over the last few days, we have seen several players lose their progress because of this manipulation, which you would do better to avoid if you are launching an attack on Manor Lords. As Greg Styczeń points out with his comment, you will have to be patient before you can find all of the desired features within the game. Enjoying Manor Lords is possible, but with a certain amount of restraint.
