Manor Lords

So I've been enjoying the game to a point. It starts of good but gets over complicated & annoying. You don't start with enough families, more families never join. You can't spawn more families in any way so some buildings are left abandoned, then you run out of resources because of it. Everything takes so long too, from building, to farming. I fall asleep.

I did all this. There's not enough families to do everything, it's bad game design.

Either troll or a bit dim...

You say it "starts off good" and yet you haven't even worked out how to get more families to join... Exactly what start are you talking about? Chopping trees?

The game explains how to get families to join your settlement. I imagine your approval is still around 40-49%. Do something about that. There are only so many things you can build at this stage you're at and you have obviously chosen not to for whatever reason.

So the idea is that you switch jobs around untill you have enough families to stop bothering. So in the summer you have people doing berries but in the winter you change them to firewood.

Also growing does not take much, just 50%+ approval and a few houses. Which should not be that hard. Just give them a market and some meat and new people will join.

Some games are not for everyone. Clearly this is not for you. Skills are required. Have a good nap !

You need to have approval over 50% before families will join, there's a few ways to do that, after you've built homes for your starting families (plus some spares!).

The most reliable is to beeline for the church. You start with enough stone for it so all you need is logs and planks, which is two buildings.

An alternative is to build up your food diversity, you should have meat and berries in your province so adding chickens and/or vegetables will also give you a positive morale bonus.

Do some, or all of these to push yourself above 50% and you'll have families join you. Until then you will need to shuffle families between buildings and prioritise a little,

I like all types of games including this one, if you are going to be stupid, don't comment.

bad gaming brain

Its not just the OP not knowing whats going on. there is an issue with families joining. I just needed to start a fresh game due to no new families. Sitting at 78% approval rating and went 8 months without a new family, not only that I had 12 families but only 8 families were working. The four other families were ghosts just eating resources but could not actually get them to work anywhere. I even shut all buildings down to 0 families working and it said 8 families not working and 4 working, but no production was goin on and all my work buildings had no families working them

the game is bugged. its EA, its to be expected

Why? There really is no other way. If you want a medieval city simulator you cannot have whole families doing nothing over the winter.
