Slavic Magic's city builder Manor Lords has a lot of mechanics that make the game a lot more engaging and immersive than other titles, such as the population system.
In Manor Lords, raising your population is as simple as getting more people to be a part of your society, but this is easier said than done. In order to actually attract more people to join you, there are some things that you need to do first.
This guide helps players learn how they can get more people to become a part of their society to increase their population. This article gives some advice on best to make your city more attractive to outsiders.
How To Raise Approval
The main thing you need to do to increase your population in Manor Lords is to get more people. This is done by raising your Approval so that you can invite more people to join your society, according to Games Radar.
You can view your Approval rating by hovering your mouse over the little percentage with a hand found on the left part of the top bar. This will also show you the various changes that could affect this rating.
If you see it in green, you can just leave it be. But if you see it in red, you need to address it as soon as possible. This means that if you find your Approval being low, you can check this part of the menu to know what you need to do to increase it.
Building Burgage Plots
Another crucial factor in getting a higher population in Manor Lords is having a lot of available Burgage Plots throughout your city. This is because if you do not have enough Burgage Plots, no new people will move in even if you have a high Approval rating, IGN said.
What you need to keep in mind is that you should only expand as much as you can sustain. If you grow your city too quickly, you may find yourself lacking enough food or fuel to satisfy your people. This could sometimes lead to the destruction of the whole settlement.
Other Tips
Some of the factors that affect your Approval rating are supplies such as food, which is a mandatory resource to maintain more people. You should also set up a Marketplace later on and make sure that it is as close as possible to your residential area.
You can also create trade routes that will help you import new goods and put them in your marketplace so that you can keep supplies topped up. Doing all of this will help you grow your settlement faster than before, according to Read Write.
