Styczeń says the team will shift to smaller, more frequent updates instead of infrequent large releases. The current Beta adds new maps, smarter AI opponents and settlements, and a reworked progression system among other refinements.
AI-controlled rival leaders still won’t attack players in this build, but their settlements now look and behave more naturally. The progression track has been redesigned to feel more thematic, with decisions that are less obvious and more nuanced.
Overall, the game has gained depth: new population categories, a finer breakdown of resources, and expanded tools for monitoring your settlement’s growth. All of this is accompanied by a suite of quality-of-life improvements.
It’s a substantial update, and the promise of further improvements in the coming weeks makes Manor Lords a project worth watching.
