Making and deleting roads in regular city-building games may have minimal effect, but they have significant consequences in Manor Lords.
In Manor Lords, oads connect all the regions under your control and also affect the productivity of the residents of your settlement. However, at the beginning of the game, dealing with the roads and finding the best path to build a road for your settlement can become a tough call.
While building a road in Manor Lords might initially seem like a random decision, but in an advanced city builder game like this, it isn't. Building roads in the wrong place or way can create unfavorable situations for your village's growth and cause you to miss out on the landscape's potential benefits.
How Roads Work in Manor Lords
Roads play an important role in the productivity of the people living in your region. While the residents can still work without using any roads, their movement speed, especially transporting, gets much faster when it's done by well-built roads.
Additionally, several establishments must be connected with a road to operate smoothly. A road can also help you increase your game's aesthetic, as you get to design each road as you like.
However, roads are not meant to be built haphazardly, as several factors need to be checked before creating a road in Manor Lords. Most importantly, you must ensure you are not building any road over the fertile regions that can produce emmer, rye, barley, or any other crop. Doing so will result in losing some vital areas that could have been utilized to grow essential crops that can contribute to the economy and your prosperity.
How to Make Roads
Making roads is simple and easy and can be done without much hassle. To start constructing roads in your settlement, press R on your keyboard, and the road construction menu will pop up. Building roads is free; thus, you will not have to worry about any cost, and you can build a road as long as you want.
To start, point the marker and press the Left Mouse Button to mark the road's starting point. From there, keep dragging the points towards which the road will be built. To add realism and make things easier for you, you can curve your roads in Manor Lords, by holding the Control button while placing marker on the map.
