From the sudden downpours of spring rains to the harsh snows of winter, every season presents its own set of challenges. To overcome these changing weather events and ensure your village’s survival, you need to understand how each one works and how to deal with them.

All Seasons In Manor Lords

The four seasons in Manor Lords function similarly to their real-life counterparts. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of each season.

Spring (March To May)

Spring is undoubtedly the best season in Manor Lords, bringing an abundance of Wild Animals and Berry deposits. It is the prime time for stockpiling resources, planting crops, and gathering as much food as you can for the harsher seasons ahead.

The only drawback of Spring is the increased chance of rain, which can destroy unprotected supplies. Additionally, rain brings thunderstrikes that can set your buildings on fire. Make sure you build enough Storehouses and Granaries to overcome these minor setbacks.

Summer (June To August)

Crops planted in Spring will start to grow and mature under the warm sun in Summer. You can focus on expanding your settlement, start new construction projects, and getting more supplies, like Timber and Firewood.

Although the risk of rainfall lessens, Summer can bring droughts that threaten your crops. To overcome this, diversify your crops and secure alternative sources of food.

Autumn (September To November)

As Autumn arrives, you can finally enjoy the fruits of your labor. This is the season to harvest the crops you’ve planted in spring and gather as many resources as possible to prepare for the long winter ahead. It is also your last chance to improve your village before spring returns.

Berry Deposits start disappearing during Autumn, so make sure to stockpile as many berries as you can. Additionally, gather lots of Firewood and Charcoal to keep warm in the harsh winter months.

Winter (October To February)

Most of the game revolves around preparing for and surviving the harsh Winters. It is indeed a season of survival as Berry Deposits run dry and food becomes scarce. Moreover, citizens require twice the amount of Firewood and Charcoal to stay warm.

Make sure you’ve stockpiled enough food and supplies to get through this season. If you haven’t prepared well, winter will be a harsh lesson.

Weather Effects In Manor Lords

In addition to the four seasons, Manor Lords features three types of weather effects. These can be turned off in difficulty settings. Here’s how each one affects your gameplay.

Rain

While rain can occur throughout the year in Manor Lords, it falls most frequently during Spring. It can destroy supplies that are not sheltered, so make sure you’ve built enough Storehouses and Granaries to protect them. Additionally, rain can make your Archers weaker during combat.

Drought

Droughts can randomly occur during the Summer. They can destroy your crops and reduce the amount of resources on harvest.

Thunderstrikes

Thunderstrikes usually accompany rain and have a random chance of setting your buildings on fire. Make sure to build multiple Wells around your town, so villagers can extinguish these fires.
