I am proud to say that Manor Lords has completely taken over my life. And I'm not alone. If you've already gone through my colleague's piece on the game, you know it's for a good reason. The modern strategy game features a great gameplay loop and the perfect balance between combat and village management.

But I felt something was wrong when I reached the late stages of the game. Call it a big void or some kind of sauce, it was certainly something. I also think this missing sauce would elevate Manor Lord's already great gameplay. So I did what I do best: I sat down and compiled a list of things Manor Lords need to beef up their game loop. With that, let's break them down!

If you've played the last few hours of Manor Lords, you know how important farming is. Depending on the fertility of your land, you can build an empire of crops and import/export things. However, the farming mechanic sometimes feels a little reckless.

Unless you know everything about farming in the game, you will have trouble maintaining the fields and even growing crops effectively. Additionally, there are a few things you can do if your soil quality drops.
