Manor Lords: How to Upgrade Burgage Plots
You can provide your villagers with decent housing in Manor Lords, as long as you meet the basic requirements.
‘Manor Lords’ teaches us an important lesson: the plots you have in the past will affect your future. Or, well, in this particular case, it’s the Burgage plots, which are the basic houses that will allow you to give your villagers a decent roof over their heads in the game. Working on these early on will help your town to develop much better, and when you improve them, you will have an area that offers improvements for everyone.
How do I place the Burgage Plots in ‘Manor Lords’?
As we have already mentioned, this building is our basic construction to offer our villagers a decent housing, where families can live. This building is placed through a flexible plot, where we have to place four points, two that are facing a street and others that allow us to give an “extra land” in the back. The game will divide these plots into narrow spaces.
It is in the selection of this lot where its size can affect its future. You can make a large lot where the game will limit the number of houses, or you can work on your own this division, allowing even a front lot where another house can enter later if the family decides to expand. However, the back land that you can create, creates an expansion slot, which is a backyard that, depending on the regional wealth, will allow us to create a side business for our family. By upgrading these Burgage Plots, our families can gain access to other professions. For example, at level 2, new workshops are unlocked that turn families into artisans, allowing them to quit their previous job altogether.
How do I upgrade my Burgage Plots?
Each Burgage Plot can be upgraded up to level 3, depending on several factors. In order to upgrade the Burgage Plots, your village must grow in infrastructure. For example, to upgrade to level 2, you need a village that already has basic elements such as a well and a church (which require other wood-related buildings such as a sawmill and a woodcutter’s lodge).
