Amassing Manor Lords Regional Wealth is crucial to the survival and expansion of your medieval town, letting you import goods and build backyard extensions to produce even more goods. However, getting to a point where you can afford these backyard extensions can be a major hurdle for any up-and-coming lord, and the Manor Lords scenario you're playing can make things even tougher. To help you over this financial hurdle, I've explained below how money works in Manor Lords and what Regional Wealth is, as well as how to generate more to afford upgrades.
Manor Lords Regional Wealth explained
In Manor Lords, Regional Wealth indicates how much money is currently moving around your settlement, representing the cash owned by people in your settlement, and acts as an important currency. It's used for trading and constructing vital backyard extensions and workshops for your Burgage Plots. With those extensions, you can generate even more Regional Wealth with the goods they produce in a never-ending pursuit of growth - you've got to spend money to make money!
Generating more Regional Wealth unlocks new growth opportunities, like the ability to turn Manor Lords Level 2 Burgage plots into artisanal crafters, including blacksmiths and joiners, to make weapons and shields. This'll help your Manor Lords militia, particularly if you plan on sending them to clear a bandit camp. These, artisanal residents can also generate more wealth in turn by selling what they make at market. Just be aware that some artisanal items require fuel so check out how to get fuel in Manor Lords for more on that.
How to get money in Manor Lords and increase Regional Wealth
The three main ways of increasing your Regional Wealth in Manor Lords are through exporting at Trading Posts, upgrading Burgage Plots, and destroying bandit camps. Here are some more specific ways you can start generating wealth to improve your bustling settlement and boost your lordly coffers even more:
- Build a Tannery to turn hides gathered from animal hunting into Leather to sell in the marketplace.
- Build a Dye Store to make dyes out of berries gathered by your workers at the Forager's Hut, also to be sold at market.
- Make sure you have at least one (preferably two) people assigned to the Granary and Storehouse apiece, since these workers can sell off the excess resources at market.
- Level up some Burgage plots to Level 2 to passively generate 1 Regional Wealth per family every month, as well as valuable items crafted through backyard extensions you add. Upgrading to level 3 improves passive wealth generation further.
- Establish Manor Lord trade routes via a Trading Post to sell off any surplus resources for profit.
- Battle bandits and loot their camp. You might find a valuable stash that you can add to your Regional Wealth.
Once your regional wealth is regularly being topped up, you can quickly start to grow it further. Setting up trade routes to sell excess resources is a great way to build wealth fast. However, most of them are expensive, so you'll need to make money first before you can then make even more. You can also buy livestock, like oxen or horses, to speed up goods production, or Manor Lords sheep to sell the wool.
