Things work a bit differently in Manor Lords.
In this guide, we are going to over how to make a militia.
Manor Lords is currently in Early Access on Steam and as such, the content is subject to change.
We will update these articles as required.
There arefour types of militia units that you’re able to create.
This denotes how many you might have.
For example, in one unit, you’re able to have 36 archers.
If you only have 20 bows though,the number will display as 20/36.
These soldiers comedirectly out of your village!If you lose any in battle, you lose villagers.
All production types will unlock once you reach the second level burgage plot.
How To Rally Your Militia
With your troops organized, it’s time to rally!
These can be seen below.
Order
Description
Give Ground
Moves backward, which lures the enemy.
Missile Alert
Troops watch for missiles, which increases ranged defense and lowers melee defense.
Balanced
This is neutral with no stat changes.
Stand Your Ground
This is a defensive pose that increases defense and reduces attack frequency by half.
Push Forward
Your soldiers will push forward!
Disband Unit
The militia will disband and return to their jobs.
Shoot At Will
Archers will aim directly at the enemy (instead of in a volley).
This decreases ranged accuracy but increases it up close.
Friendly Fire Mode
Enable friendly fire, allowing your troops to potentially harm each other.
Run To Positions
Your militia will run to their destination which causes fatigue.
Hold
The militia will stop and reform their shape.
What Is The Retinue?
After building the manor,you have access to the retinue.
By building more manors, you’re able to get more retinues.
Mercenaries are paid for out of your treasury, which is similar to retinue upgrades.
