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—Relaxing, Default, and Challenging. These are great options for new players wanting to dive into the game. However, these settings can be personally customized to make a Manor Lord's world fit anyone's playstyle.
I've composed three custom settings options 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 Casual City-Builders
These settings are perfect for those who want to explore the building aspects of Manor Lords without the danger of being attacked or dying due to weather.
| Setting Name | Setting Option |
|---|---|
| End Goal | None |
| Off-Map Adversary | Absent |
| Raider Frequency | None |
| Initial Bandit Camps | None |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 0 |
| Starting Season | Spring |
| Starting Supplies | Double |
| Armament Delivery | Yes |
| Residential Requirements | Tolerant |
| Approval | Low Penalty |
| Well Placement | Unconstrained |
| Weather Events | None |

Scenario Settings for Casual Realism
These settings are like those for city-building, but with a few 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 residential needs. If you don't care to fight, change "Raider Frequency" to none and "Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit" to 0.
| Setting Name | Setting Option |
|---|---|
| End Goal | None or Growth |
| Off-Map Adversary | Absent |
| Raider Frequency | Medium |
| Raider Free Years | 3 |
| Initial Bandit Camps | None |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 3 |
| Starting Season | Spring |
| Starting Supplies | Double |
| Armament Delivery | Yes |
| Residential Requirements | Balanced |
| Approval | Low Penalty |
| Well Placement | Underground Water |
| Weather Events | Balanced |
Hardcore Scenario Settings
If you think the Challenging Scenario Settings are a piece of cake, try our Hardcore settings! You'll have to start from the bottom and make your way to the top of the food chain while fending off a variety of enemies.
| Setting Name | Setting Option |
|---|---|
| End Goal | Domination |
| Off-Map Adversary | Present |
| AI Aggressiveness | Aggressive |
| Raider Frequency | Frequent |
| Raider Free Years | 1 |
| Initial Bandit Camps | Between 3 and 5 |
| Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit | 5 |
| Starting Season | Winter |
| Starting Supplies | Nothing |
| Armament Delivery | No |
| Residential Requirements | Demanding |
| Approval | High Penalty |
| Well Placement | Underground Water |
| Weather Events | Difficult |
If you find the fighting to be too much, I'd recommend either turning the "Random Bandit Camp Spawn Limit" to 3 or the "Raider Frequency" to medium.
