How to make villagers happy in Medieval Dynasty

Villager happiness is vital to ensuring you become successful in the Medieval Dynasty, and you may be wondering how you can do so in the game. Keep reading as I explain how you can keep villagers happy in Medieval Dynasty.

What affects villager happiness in Medieval Dynasty

Medieval Dynasty has a specific parameter called mood to track your village's happiness level (100% to -100%). Here are the main factors that affect mood in Medieval Dynasty:

1. Housing
2. Food and Drink
3. Firewood
4. Insulation
5. Profession
6. Family
7. Events
8. Relationship Status of the Player with the King

The main factors I recommend you consider when starting out are housing, food, and drink. Without housing, your villagers will not be able to access food and drink. Lack of food and drink, on the other hand, will slowly lower the happiness of your villagers, so it's best to ensure each villager has a house with enough supply of food and drink for their families.

How to get food and drink in Medieval Dynasty

There are a couple of ways to gather food and drink for your villagers in Medieval Dynasty. The most effective way for beginning settlements is to forage for food for the first few days. Afterward, you can engage in your first combat encounter by hunting wildlife for food.

Once you've managed to gather enough food for a few days, you should also consider starting a farming station, so you have an infinite amount of food sources. You can also assign villagers to take care of the farm for you.

For water, you'll first need a bucket, which you can craft using two planks or buy them for 30 coins. Once you have the bucket equipped, go to the nearest water source and fill it up. Afterward, you can store the bucket in a villager's storage chest for their consumption.

Here's my recommended route if you'll be starting a new game in Medieval Dynasty:

1. Gather food, water, and other resources by foraging.
2. Build each villager a house.
3. Recruit villagers (enough to occupy homes) and store food in their storage chests.
4. Repeat until you unlock five farming tech points.
5. Build your first Food Storage (Requires 50 logs, 52 sticks, 32 straws).
6. Build Village Well (Requires 10 logs and 16 Straws)
7. Carefully expand the village by creating a farming area and establishing more Food Storage and Village Well.

As a last tip, only take in villagers who can be helpful within your community (i.e. you have an open occupation waiting for them), and always plan ahead whenever you're planning to expand your village.
