We’ve got some concrete plans for the first Manor Lords patch, and it looks like it could fix some unpopular problems in the new early-access city builder, including one that has bankrupted my town.

Developer Greg “Slavic Magic” Styczeń touched upon everything he intends to fix and change in a briefTwitter post. This includes fixing “all the homeless bugs,” “tuning the archer damage,” “slowing down the rate of AI claiming territories,” “improving sawpit efficiency/storage,” and, my personal favourite, “tuning the trade oversupply mechanics.”

The homeless bugs saw villagers gather around random areas of people’s villages and not pick a home to settle into, while the rate of AI claiming territories has been an issue for people who can’t keep up in the harder modes like Restoring Peace and On the Edge. There has also been a known problem with thearchers not doing enough damagefor a while now. But the last change, which involves trade oversupply, is probably the most important update for my village.

Currently, I have a population of just 209 people, but as I’m trying to feed an ever-growing number of people, I can only afford to export clay tiles and eggs. Sure, I’ve managed to retain a constant supply of around 400 eggs at any given time (mostly just thanks to making every citizen own at least three chickens), but thanks to Styczeń’s nerf, my eggs lose value with every sale.

Styczeń didn’t say when the first patch will drop, but it’s being worked on now.
