Learn how to claim new territory in Manor Lords. This guide explains the steps, including building a Manor, generating influence, and founding new settlements.

Claiming new territory in Manor Lords involves several steps, primarily centered around generating and spending influence. You'll need to build a Manor, donate food to the church to earn influence, and then spend that influence to purchase a new settlement. The process can take about a month to complete, after which you'll establish a Settler's Camp and purchase starting resources to build your new settlement from the ground up.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Build a Manor.
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Spend 1000 influence on purchasing a new settlement.
  4. 4
    Wait approximately a month for the claim to complete.
  5. 5
    Build a Settler’s Camp in the new settlement.
  6. 6
    Purchase the starting settler camp bundle you want using treasury wealth.
  7. 7

Influence is the key resource for claiming territory. In relaxed game modes, simply having enough influence is sufficient. However, if you face hostile neighbors, you may need to engage in warfare to secure territory. The specific requirements depend on the game state and the territory you aim to claim.

When selecting a province to claim, you will use influence and confirm your choice via the button at the bottom of the screen. You can also choose the starting population and resources for your new settlement during this process. Remember to consider factors like crop fertility and potential trade links when planning your new settlement's economy.

Tips
  • Donating a higher percentage of food to the church generates influence faster, but depletes your food reserves. Find a balance that works for your settlement's needs.
  • When claiming new territory, check for valuable resource deposits and crop fertility rates to plan your settlement's growth and food production.
  • Consider establishing trade links via a pack station between your main settlement and new settlements for efficient food distribution.
  • Refer to build order guides for additional tips on starting new settlements effectively.
