Manor Lords is a city planning simulator set in the Middle Ages. The game is in early access, but more than two million people have already purchased it. Judging by the reviews, the project was simply great. And with the help of adjustments it can be made even better. We have collected the most interesting of them in this material.
The mods released so far do not offer global changes. However, with their help you can improve the performance of Manor Lords, replace the standard weapons with those from Game of Thrones, or manage a settlement on behalf of Geralt from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In addition, a number of adjustments change the balance of the game: they speed up construction and resource extraction, make enemies or your units stronger and allow you to quickly access the most high-tech buildings.
Procedure for installing mods
- Download the archive with the change and unzip it.
- Copy the contents to the Paks folder, which is located in the game folder. By default, it is located at C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Manor Lords\ManorLords\Content\Paks.

- Go to the “Installed Files” menu and click the “Browse” button on the right.

More sources – more sources
A simple adjustment that allows you to obtain more materials in all stages of production. With its help you can significantly speed up the construction of the city.
Storage Plus Plus – increases space and storage space in all buildings
A mod that allows you to increase the capacity of all buildings in the game. As a result, fewer buildings will need to be constructed for efficient development.
Increased tree growth rate – acceleration of tree growth
Another change aimed at rapid development. Increased growth rate of trees increases the growth rate of trees. This way you quickly receive the resources needed for the development of the city.
Sonic Hoe – accelerated field processing
You can increase the development speed of your settlement with the Sonic Hoe mod. After installation, plowing fields will be 38 times faster.
Eco Rebalance – new balance
According to the author of the change, the initial balance between resources and building requirements in Manor Lords is not ideal. So he offered his own option. After installing the mod, basic items such as spears or bows will be easier to craft, but complex items, such as chain mail, will be much more difficult.
Better archers – accurate archers
In the original version of Manor Lords, archers are ineffective compared to other types of troops. This mod increases their damage and shooting range.
Faster volleys – archers shoot more often
An excellent addition to the previous change. After installation, archers will start shooting more often. Combined with increased damage and effective range, this unit could be the best in the game.
Adaptive Bandit Difficulty – increases the number of bandits as your settlement grows
This adjustment changes the number of raiders during races depending on the size of your treasury and army. As a result, bandit invasions, even at a late stage of development, will pose a serious danger.
Hildebolt’s Vanguard Army. Difficulty Mod – von Behrenreuth’s fortified army
This mod is worth paying attention to players who are not afraid of difficulties. It allows Hildebolt von Berenreuth to hire his own unique troops with enhanced attributes. Dealing with them will not be easy: you will have to pay a lot of attention to the defense and your own soldiers.
Game of Thrones Coat of Arms – coat of arms of houses from Game of Thrones
Fans of the series “Game of Thrones” will definitely like this adaptation. She changes the coats of arms of noble families known from the show: Starks, Lannisters, Targaryens, Baratheons and many others. The mod looks relevant ahead of the premiere of House of Dragons’ second season.
Dramatic Portraits – improved portraits of gentlemen
Portraits on icons of nobles become more beautiful and detailed. The improvement was carried out using neural networks.
Film Star Portrait Pack – movie stars in portraits
Another mod that changes portraits in the game. This time, actors and actresses have been chosen as noble nobles: Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Robert John Downey Jr., Megan Fox and many others.
GoT character portraits and bonus GoT region names – portraits and names of locations from Game of Thrones
This adjustment changes the portraits to images of characters from the Game of Thrones series. You will be met by Sansa Stark, Melisandre, Margaery Tyrell, Robert Baratheon and many others. And all locations are renamed after regions of Westeros: Winterfell, King’s Landing, Beaver Cliff, and so on.
Geralt from The Witcher 3 – plays as Geralt of Rivia
Manor Lords offers a third-person perspective, similar to modern RPGs. With this mod you replace your hero’s model with Geralt third “The Witcher”.
Henry from Skalitz – play as Henry (Jindrich) from Kingdom Come: Deliverance
And with this modification, you can wander around your settlement in the role of Henry (Jindrich), the main character Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The mod seems especially relevant today, before its release the second part of the series, expected to be released at the end of 2024.
