After you manage to feed your settlement and create autonomy in Manor Lords, you'll encounter raiders and other invaders. To defeat them, it's necessary to create a regular army and support it with resources. In this guide, we'll tell you how to collect basic equipment for your combat residents.
Weapons and armor can be crafted by residents on their upgraded land plots. Depending on the starting resources, you can upgrade most houses into one industry, creating a village of blacksmiths, or develop in all directions, creating unique plots on your land.
We've compiled a list of upgrades related to the military craft for you:
To create combat items, you'll need to gather the correct materials for each of these workshops. The easiest to start with is the combat bow, which is the simplest weapon to manufacture since it only requires planks. Remember that planks are needed for the development of the settlement and heating in winter, so too many workshops will break your economy.
In peacetime, you can sell surplus weapons and armor to earn additional money for expanding your holdings. Besides, with the opening of a trade route, a merchant will come to you every month, from whom you can buy the missing equipment.
