Hungry Animals, Cheese, and a New Map Arrive in Manor Lords - Currently in Beta Only

Players will be able to evaluate the content before the full release.

Recently, the creator of the medieval city-building strategy game Manor Lords, Greg Styczeń, along with the Slavic Magic team, announced the start of beta testing for a major update.

With this update, players will have access to a new map, Wide Valley, a new version of the user interface with a redesigned look, and other content, such as drinks – cider and mead.

Some other new features and changes:

• Players will be able to import cows and calves through the livestock trader – animals will provide passive milk production, and they can also be slaughtered for hides and beef.
• A new field crop, oats, has appeared; it can be processed into animal feed.
• A "hungry animals" mechanic has been added: grazing animals, such as cows, sheep, calves, and lambs, "starve" in winter and consume feed every month (or die if they don't receive it).
• Grazing animals will reproduce depending on the season and herd size.
• A "seasonal products" mechanic has appeared: for example, sheep can only be shorn once a year – in summer. Cows will be allowed to be milked monthly, but not in winter.
• Cheese can be made (milk + salt).

The full description of the beta update "0.8.090–0.8.097" for Manor Lords is available at the following link. To connect to the beta branch, you need to go to the game properties in Steam and in the "Betas" section, enter the password "veryNiceBasket" (without quotes) – then select the "pre_release" build and download the test update.
