While the game is still in early access, the developer has promised to keep updating the game with new content and features.
On the game’s Twitter account, the developer shared thatManor Lords’ new feature will focus on the distribution of ale and water among citizens. Wellheads, the main water sources in the game, will soon show the supply and demand levels for each town, helping players keep track of how much water is available.
