Manor Lords players cannot stop families from being homeless

Published

As the name suggests, is a city builder about managing a medieval village. You help it develop, fight bandits and eventually participate in larger military campaigns. But all this may not be enough should you cannot persuade families to maneuver in and help develop society, and a few players appear to have problems on this regard. “I have houses, the homeless won’t take them,” wrote one player on Discord. “Approval is NOT the issue here. Before the homeless came, I was at 90%.

The the game is on Steam’s most wishlist ahead of today’s Early Access launch, exploded to over 150,000 concurrent players, not even including everyone playing on Game Pass on PC. This overtook it in terms of total current players and made it the top seller on Steam, ahead of . This is all good news for developers Slavic Magic and their publisher, Hooded Horse, and all of this has apparently contributed to record numbers of homeless peasants.

Players start with several groups of villagers, a few basic resources, and one ox. Initially, they work in camps to gather resources and produce wood. They are eventually expected to move out of their camps and into the homes players have built with them, leading to a virtuous cycle of hardworking workers, growing villages, and happy populations. It’s just that some players seem unable to make their subjects obey. This sounds frustrating, but also funny.

“So I built the first few houses, but families aren’t moving in.” he wrote one player on Steam. “Instead, I keep getting warnings about homeless people…” Some people wonder if this can be a mistake. “I ALWAYS have 5 people who are constantly homeless, even though I have enough town plots, I can’t do anything about it” he wrote player on subreddit. “I swear to God I encountered some bug, 5 of my original families are usually not moving into town I built, but every latest family that involves town has moved in, so now I even have 4 families which have moved in and 5 homeless, despite that I HAVE enough burgers and half of them are empty,” wrote a 3rd person on Discord.

So what’s going on here? Are there gremlins in the early access code, or do players only need a few days to learn the nuances of a realism-based management simulation? “We have seen the same reports,” Hooded Horse spokesman Joe Robinson said in an email. “While at first glance it may seem like it’s the same problem at the highest level, there are a few things that could be contributing to this. Some are by design, but others are related to known bugs that are already being fixed.”

One of the present causes of homelessness is a known bug that stops the reconstruction of burned houses. Another more diabolical bug is that upgrading the starting family camps will cause them to never move to nearby town plots until they demolish the camps. Finally, even should you solve the issue of homelessness, the corresponding negative modifier may stick around for a while. “We’re investigating a possible bug where malus just isn’t welcome, so we’re unsure about that,” Robinson said.

This is just the first day of the Early Access journey, as player feedback helps Slavic Magic deliver on the ambitious promise of the medieval strategy game. I’m sure players will discover even weirder bugs and quirks as they try to figure out what makes it tick. I can’t wait to find out what it is.

Current goal: Vibe in dystopia

Regardless of whether I pull out the ending or often jumping into the session, a lot of the games I actually have recently played is determined by my direct, unnecessary attention to Dodge and Parry. I really like this challenge, but I could use a break. So this weekend I spend a while, which is probably the precise opposite of what I played. I also want to envision its continuation before the yr ends, so I felt crucial to begin with the primary.

Published in 2022, and its continuation appeared in January 2025, RPG offers some cosmic vibrations moved by the burden of splendidly written dystopian science fiction. History and dialogue here is something special. Sometimes I just stop in a single sentence or two at a time, whether it’s intensively written, introverted speculation of the hero after they consider their relationship with the body and themselves, or wonderful representations of individuals living at an area station of the sport. In addition, I recently underwent two fundamental operations, descriptions of climbing and getting out of consciousness and the duty of keeping my body in a video game seems emotionally very different than before. I feel that every little thing makes up quite a neat experience that I need more. – Claire Jackson

According to Xbox, that is just the start. I plan to add more Acitivison and Blizzard games to the appliance in the longer term. Although I’m not a giant fan of sending streaming old games and I would favor actual downloads and offline files, it continues to be higher than nothing. It’s nice to see how Xbox finally delves into the deep library of classic games and does something with them after buying a publisher in 2023. If Microsoft wants to have the whole game industryAt least, it will probably facilitate the legal reproduction of old things that he devoured on this process.
