Changing the Scenario Settings in Manor Lords is the best way to customize your experience. I've designed three custom Scenario Settings to help casual and Hardcore players enjoy Manor Lords in a new light.
Best Custom Manor Lords Scenario Settings
Manor Lords has three basic Scenario Settings for players—Relaxed, Default, and Challenging. These are great options for new players who want to dive into the game. However, these settings can be personally customized so that the world of Manor Lord fits anyone's play style.
I've written three custom settings for those who want to explore the game as a city builder, play it casually with realistic elements, and those who want the challenge of a lifetime!
Scenario settings for Random City Builders
These settings are perfect for those who want to explore the buildings of Manor Lords without the danger of being attacked or dying from the weather.
| Set Name | Configuration Option |
|---|---|
| Final Destination | No one |
| Off-Map Adversary | absent |
| Raider Frequency | No one |
| Initial Bandit camps | No one |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 0 |
| Beginning Season | Spring |
| Initial Provisions | Double |
| Weapon Delivery | Yes |
| Residency requirements | tolerant |
| approval | Low Penalty |
| Well Placement | Unlimited |
| Weather Events | No one |

Scenario Settings for Unformed Realism
These settings are like those for city building, but with some added elements of realism for casual players who get tired of just building settlements. Some of these changes include the addition of weather elements, the possibility of bandits and raiders, and higher housing requirements. If you don't want to fight, change “Raider Frequency” to none and “Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit” to 0.
| Set Name | Configuration Option |
|---|---|
| Final Destination | None or Growth |
| Off-Map Adversary | absent |
| Raider Frequency | medium |
| Raider Free Years | 3 |
| Initial Bandit camps | No one |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 3 |
| Beginning Season | Spring |
| Starter Supplies | Double |
| Weapon Delivery | Yes |
| Residency requirements | Balanced |
| approval | Low Penalty |
| Well Placement | Ground Water |
| Weather Events | Balanced |
Hard Scenario Settings
If you think the Challenge Scenario Settings are easy, try our Hardcore settings! You will have to start from the bottom and work your way to the top of the food chain while fending off various enemies.
| Set Name | Configuration Option |
|---|---|
| Final Destination | Governance |
| Off-Map Adversary | to present |
| AI Aggressiveness | Aggressive |
| Raider Frequency | Common |
| Raider Free Years | 1 |
| Initial Bandit camps | Between 3 and 5 |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 5 |
| Beginning Season | winter |
| Initial Provisions | Nothing |
| Weapon Delivery | No |
| Residency requirements | Demanding |
| approval | High Punishment |
| Well Placement | Ground Water |
| Weather Events | difficult |
If you find the fighting too much, I would recommend either turning the “Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit” to 3 or the “Raider Frequency” to medium.
