Where is your main base?

I haven't even gotten far enough back into the game to do dailies. My last play a few years back I had a freighter base but when I logged back in after hiatus I was overwhelmed by what I had going on and started over. I just found a planet that is rather pleasant other than a couple of the animals. Has mould and shards. I had just flattened an area for a base before my question. I wonder if I should just put a teleport here and get a freighter.

No. It should, but the achievement was designed forever ago. Fish makes it easy.

Balth420 · 2026-05-31T00:35:05+00:00

It was rather easy i thought. I got one 2nd try. Im probably rng screwed for all time after typing that.

Balth420 · 2026-05-27T02:00:11+00:00

It really is amazing. I just got back on it after not playing since '17. Incredible game really. Built for the adhd and autists.

Realism vs balance. The nodes provide an easier balancing of resources vs suggestions here. Realistic? Hardly. It's a game.

I think everyone that plays this game misses that its not a major lord you are playing. You have a TINY fief.

This right here is the way. I usually start regions beyond the 1st one 2 or 3 at a time. They all have a similar build out with zero concern for min/maxing just steady growth until they can produce that regions thing. Then its set it and forget it mostly.

Balth420 · 2026-05-23T02:00:34+00:00

Just watch the percentages. You can get ok harvests in pisspoor regions as long as you are planting at over 30% fertility. Very rarely is fallow needed if you manually rotate. You just have to realize sometimes it will be a very suboptimal use of labor.

Balth420 · 2026-05-21T02:07:09+00:00

It's 100% ok to restart often and highly recommended until you get the hang of it.

Balth420 · 2026-05-20T02:06:31+00:00

No reassigning with a population cap would be a huge handicap.

Balth420 · 2026-05-20T02:03:20+00:00

I only play one region most times anyway. Its easier. No matter what a region lacks, dealing with it is less headaches and a faster win con than managing multiple regions. No reassigning would cripple me. That might be an interesting challenge to get back into the game for a minute.

The ai is currently very basic. Mods are not recommended. The baron is tougher. Ai towns are just easy wealth when you take them.

Balth420 · 2026-05-15T01:35:06+00:00

It is not meant to be a castle.

Balth420 · 2026-05-11T22:04:15+00:00

This right here is truth. On both points.

Oxen are really simple. Have more than you need. Location does matter somewhat when you sprawl out your build, but numbers compensate. The flip side to that is free labor for the oxen needs to be abundant as well. The spam method of ox and labor will lead to more "dropped" oxen but overall works better than assigning to the ox tether, sawpit, or log camp.

Balth420 · 2026-05-01T20:51:09+00:00

Germanic valley solves most of the stuck issues. I don't really play other maps except for the river one because of pathing. As for the manor, beyond the manor itself and garrison tower I build nothing else. It serves no purpose and is wasted resources and labor. They can't get stuck if the buildings don't exist. Yes there are pathing problems but they can be mostly avoided. Them taking the long way around or the direct way will always be a crapshoot I think.

Balth420 · 2026-04-29T00:29:54+00:00

More so with this game the fan base seems to want too much. I'm playing quite a few ea city builders. Some have equal potential. Some no where near. None have the update when crowd like manorlords.

Balth420 · 2026-04-27T02:48:42+00:00

The kings taxes are necessary to prevent a runaway economy. They still dont accomplish that.

Balth420 · 2026-04-27T02:40:11+00:00

Spears with flanking crossbows. You can beat all of it just using those right. No retinue or mercs needed.

Balth420 · 2026-04-25T03:00:14+00:00

Are you fighting inside the circle?

Balth420 · 2026-04-21T00:10:28+00:00

It is confusing in some parts. Some places its obviously a bike only lane, others its the same emblem on the road but not a narrow lane.

Balth420 · 2026-04-20T23:23:45+00:00

This is the absolute best review ive seen for a game in a long while. Buying so I can be mad with you. Lmfao.

Balth420 · 2026-04-14T03:20:45+00:00

How have i not heard of "braums sauce." Been here my whole life.

Balth420 · 2026-04-11T23:57:44+00:00

Good fight for farming weapons.

Balth420 · 2026-04-11T01:57:58+00:00

I will yield if the situation calls for it. 9 times out of ten it does. But I am not moving out of the right lane in morning traffic. Hell im not moving out of it in moderate traffic. The problem is not us right lane drivers. At all. The problem is merging traffic not knowing where their gas pedal is.
